JG54 was founded in Austria in April 1940 and was made up of Austrian volunteers. During the Battle of Britain JG54 were based at Guines, Campagne-les-Guines and Hermalinghen, South of Calais and East of Boulogne. Waldemar Wubke flew a distinctive looking Me/Bf 109E-3 (Yellow 11) of the 9th Staffel of JG54 Grunherz. He had a quiet but effective career and by the end of the war had a total of 15 kills attaining the rank of leutnant. It was at the end of the war that he gained a degree of infamy when flying a FW 190D-9 as Staffelkapitan with 1/JV44, providing air cover for the airfields used by Galland's JV44 Me262 squadrons. His nickname was 'Heine' and he was later to become a Hauptmann.

Today's example is from Corgi. It is 1:72nd scale and made of diecast with plastic accessories. The model is of the Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 from Luftwaffe 9./JG 54 "Grunherz", as flown by Waldemar Wubke.
