#9/2019 Here´s my dad´s last captured 109 for a while. Hasegawa kit with Rising Decals, Eduard seatbelts, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines, legs shortened about 2mm. This aircraft had additional cowl scoops like a G-2, so took some from the sparesbox. AK Real Color Air Mid-Stone and Gunze H314 FS35622 for the camo.

It was repainted and used for training until a final crash in 1943 near Cairo.

Besides the Slovakian Emil, my dad decided to build some more E´s. This time a JG51 bird with the "Spaziervogel" emblem using an Eduard weekend edition. Funny how old and new Eduard plastic are mixed in this kit. DSC_0004 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

My dad followed the decal instructions, but then I realized after looking at pics of originals that the anchor was on the other side. He could partly remove the decal, the rest is oversprayed. Luckily there was a second anchor on the decal sheet. DSC_0002 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

AK Real Color RLM79 and Tamiya Flat Earth Thanks, appreciated!

There can never be enough 109s 😄 Well, soon he will start a G-10 but then make some 109 pause and do some different subjects to net get bored.

Yes, should be a shake and bake kit. 😀 He has already built most of the more attractive German 109 schemes, so now he seeks some diversion.

Still continuing the 109s with non-German markings. The US one is finished, now my dad started a Slovakian 109 that served with JG52 on the Eastern Front in 1942/43. Using the Tamiya kit with HR Decals, don´t know yet which scheme it´s gonna be.

#8/2019 My dad´s newest rollout, continuing the captured aircraft theme. Eduard kit with Rising Decals, brake lines with plastic rods and lead wire, paints used from Tamiya, Gunze and AK Real Color (RLM78/79). This aircraft was originally "Black 14", assigned to 2.(H)/14, Aufklärungsgruppe 14, and equipped with a Rb50/30 camera. It was shot down on February 20th 1943 in Tunisia. After a belly landing it was captured by British troops and later given to the Americans. Members of the 79th FG restored it to flying condition, the camera was removed at some point and the hole covered with a panel. In November 1943 the aircraft was sent to Wright Field for tests and afterwards written off.
