nitevision92 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi all, I have a Bf109F-2 from Zvezda in the stash, and am contemplating converting it into an F-2/trop variant. Besides the sand filter, are there any more external differences between the F-2 and F-2/trop machines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 There was never an official F-2/Trop, individual F-2's were fitted with sand filters occasionally. Once again with 109's, the best way to go is to have a picture of the aircraft you plan on doing so you have a reference to work off of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazydon Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 What Mike said, there are very few photo's of F-2 Trops. Your best bet is to wait, Zvezda is releasing the F-4 soon...and even then we don't know if the parts for a Trop will be in the kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nitevision92 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the feedback guys. And yes, trawling the net turns up precious little pics of F-2s with sand filters. Mostly colour profile artwork at that. crazydon: I was thinking of purchasing the Quickboost tropical filter for the F-2... Since they're releasing the F-4 soon I guess I'll wait for that one and see. Edited February 13, 2011 by nitevision92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a start, just make sure your markings don't end up for the F-4Z with the latter style oil cooler and props Quote Link to post Share on other sites
