Calling All Bf-109 Experts - Help Me Salvage a Kit!


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I bought the Academy 1/48 Bf-109G-10 because I wanted to use the Croatian Ustaša markings included in the kit. However, after further research I found that the markings are so inaccurate that they're practically unusable.

 

So - I'm stuck with a kit that's built and ready to be painted, but I have no markings and no subject.

Can anyone: 1) tell me if the kit is accurate at all for a G-10?

                      2) tell me if I can modify the kit to make it into a G-2 or G-6?

 

I am Bf-109 illiterate, sorry. Much obliged for the help!

You won't be able to do a standard G-2, G-6, or G-14 with this kit. You can get reasonably close to the high altitude G-14 A/S or some late G-6 A/S, but with either you will have to shorten the tail wheel strut and add a dust boot.

It you feel like scratchbuilding the retractable tail wheel bay and doors as well as do some filling and rescribing of some hatches you can also get very close to a K-4.
