Early Warriors...1/48 Bf109B Legion Condor and Bf109E-1 JG77


Recommended Posts

When I posted D-IALY and 6o30 a while ago, I completely forgot this Condor model

Hobbycraft kit built longer ago, some changes to the nose to display a more correct (A)B model, 2.J/88

Another fantastic slice of 109 history on display. I think I'd happily pay an entry fee to see the whole collection :thumbsup:

The subject of the early Bf109's is a bit of a minefield but I think I'm right in saying that most experts now agree that the first batches supplied to Spain were a mix of prototypes (V3 and V4 for example) and 16 Anton's so I think 6 o10 was an Anton if I remember correctly.

you´re right, the first ones in Spain were the prototypes and A´s, 6-1 to 6-16.........but as you said, it´s a bit of a minefield lol

More outstanding work !! I noticed that you used an old Hobbycraft kit. I have the old kit for the Bf 109 "C" version. Do I have to modify the nose (spinner) on this kit or is it basically correct ? Thanks for any info that you can share. Bob H.

AFAIK the spinners on the Hobbycraft B, C, D kits are correct

here you find some info on early 109s
