eaglebeagle Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi Topic description pretty much says it all, A future build requires a tall style tail and rudder for a Finnish Bf 109 G6. I plan on using a 1/48 Hasegawa kit, are there any aftermarket tail conversions? or is a kit-bash in order? Cheers Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G.R.Morrison Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Why do you need to convert anything? Hasegawa has produced both the conventional fin/rudder and the so-called 'tall tail' Bf 109G-6 / G-14 in both 1/48 and 1/32. The Finns received both versions, so depending on which airframe you wish to depict, the work (and added expense) involved in converting a kit is unnecessary.

It has both tails and a ton of optional pieces. If you build a "G" series aircraft you will need to do a little bit of rescribing, but not very much gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
