One can never have too many Messerschmitt Bf 109 models. Before this project I had 12 (plus one Me 209). So this is another special project much like the original "Grand Messerschmitt project" a few years back. This time I am only building G- and F-models, having learned from the earlier effort that unless the models are sufficiently similar, you will not get the benefit of "economies of scale".
These are the planes covered by the project (all from FineMolds kits):
Variant | Identity | Operator | Place & Date |
---|---|---|---|
Bf 109F-4 | "Yellow 10" | 6./JG 5, Luftwaffe | Petsamo (Finland), June 1942 |
Bf 109G-2 | MT-231 | 2/LeLv 34, Ilmavoimat | Helsinki-Malmi, January 1944 |
Bf 109G-6/R6 | "450" (later MT-450) | 2/HLeLv 24, Ilmavoimat | Lappeenranta, June 1944 |
