For the first months of SCW, Aragon's front was ill defended by Nationalist aircraft. Only between 1 and 3 Nieuport Delage Ni-52 fighters and between 4 and 6 Breguet XIX light bombers, with the ocasional help of a few Fokker F-VII and DH-89 bombers. In front of them, Republican "Alas Rojas" group doubled, at least, those effectives.
Situation was so bad for Nationalists, that majors of the three Aragonesse main cities, Saragosse, Huesca and Teruel started collecting money for buying some planes to defend their cities. A lot of civil donations were received and, by the end of october 1936, three Heinkel He-51 were bought. By then, situation was already changing with German and Italian help. The three planes were named after the three cities but, at the beginning, they were sent to Logroño, to serve in Northern front, in the Biscay campaign. They eventually returned to Aragon and fullfillled their defensive purpose, being repainted later with more or less splinter camo.
These skins are for those last months in 1936 and the first ones in 1937.

Thanks to Nachprod for his template.

Thank you Fireskull. There was a great Nachprod's template. I made some minor modifications on riveting, pannels and markings and changed the effects you mention. I always add a lot of dirt, since SCW air fields were always dirty and muddy. You can see that only brand new planes are clean in the pictures.
I couldn't place numbers in the fuselaje in the exact right place since there's a mapping problem in left side, near the fin and deformates all images placed there.
But most of the work was already done in the template.
