Hello All
Messerschmitt BF109G-4 "RED 7" final decals complete.
I first saw Red 7 on a trip to Duxford at one of the flying legends air shows, my first glance at her shocked me as I was't expecting a replica 109G series to be flying in the show. after doing some research of Red 7 I found she had a long history of disaster and rebuilds and just for that she inspired me to build a 1/48 scale model of her. the kit was a Eduard Bf 109G-6. Red 7 being a G-4 some slight modifications were made mainly just blisters on the fuselage. well hope you enjoy some more pictures added
