CFS/FS98 Bucker Bu-131 JungMann, Nationalist Air Force.
The German Bücker Bü 131 "Jungmann" (Young man) was a 1930s basic training aircraft which was used by the Spanish Nationalist Air Force during and after Civil War, built under license by CASA in Spain.
"Bücker Flugzeugbau GmbH" was founded in Berlin in 1932, with the first aircraft to see production being the Bü 131 Jungmann.
After serving in the Kaiserliche Marine in World War I, Carl Bücker moved to Sweden where he became managing director of Svenska Aero AB (SAAB). He later returned to Germany with Anders Anderson, a young designer from SAAB.
Sturdy and agile, the Jungmann was selected as the primary basic trainer for the German Luftwaffe. Production licenses were granted to Switzerland, Spain, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Japan, the last one of which built over 1,200 examples for Army and Navy Air Services (as the Kokusai Ki-86 and Kyushu K9W respectively). In Spain, production continued at CASA until the early 1960s. The Jungmann was retained as the Spanish Air Force's primary basic trainer until 1968.
About 200 Jungmanns survive to this day, many having been fitted with modern engines.

This virtual model represent the Bucker Bu-131 # 33+8, Spanish Nationalist Air Force, 1937.
Special thanks to Christian Maas for his excellent tool Hex-editor XVI32 and Chuck Dome by his MDL file viewer. Without their tools, I might not have been able to assign new textures to the original model.
This virtual model is up-scaled to obtain a better view in Combat Flight Simulator.
(for accurate scale in FS98, replace the file Bu-131_sp.MDL by Bu-131_sp.old.MDL and rename this as Bu-131_sp.MDL). I have included new textures, moving parts and damage profile for use with CFS1, with ficcional armament of two 7.9 mm machine guns.
