Bf109G-2 of 9/Jg54 in northern Russia in late 1942 early 1943.

After being assigned to Jg54 in February of 1941 Nowotni flew for more than 5 months before scoring a single kill.
On the 19th of July 1941 he managed to start his remarkable tally when he shot down three aircraft in the vicinity of Oesel Island, and he was in turn, shot down himself. He had to spend the next three days and nights paddling back to land!

It took him more than a year from this time to reach 50 kills, but nevertheless he was seen as leadership material and on 25th October 1942, he was made kommandeur of 9 staffel Jg54, at the age of 21.

Still, it wasn't untill June of 1943 that Nowotny really began to score regular victories. 
In that month alone he scored 41 kills. In August he was credited with a further 49 and reached his 150th kill on 18th August.
In October of that year, in a 10 day period he scored a further 32 victories, reaching a stunning 250 kills on October 14th 1943. Making him the Luftwaffe's highest scoring pilot. This was achieved in a total of 442 missions and his tally had increased by over 200 kills in less than 12 months.

Based on the Bf109G2 made by Illu and includes the 3d pilot addon by Pobs.
The 3dpilot images and the skin are completely new and made from scratch by me.

Hope you enjoy.
