Since seeing an article in Airfix Magazine in the early 70's on converting the Airfix 1/72 Bf109G-6 into the two seater G-12 and attempting the conversion non too successfully, I've wanted to add both Luftwaffe two seater conversions of Bf109 and Fw190 to my collection. It has taken me 40 odd years to actually get these models built. I collected and stashed away the Falcon vac form conversion, the MPM Fw190S short run kit but just never got round to building them! With the introduction of the excellent Eduard 1/48 Bf109 and Fw190 series, I took a look at the other 109s and 190s in my stash, with the Hasegawa 109s being slighly inaccurate in the fuselage I decided to use a G-4 and a G-6 as donors for conversion. I also decided to use 2 Dragon Fw190s for conversion purposes. With the following results:- All the schemes shown were taken from photos in books or off the net. It is unknown which units these four machines came from! I used a lot of spare parts for these models mostly taken from the large amount of spares Eduard give us in their 109 and 190 kits. A short summary of parts used:- Bf109s :- Eduard wheels,exhausts, Fusion resin spinners/props, Aires and FCM resin interiors (front cockpits), Falcon vacform canopies and rear fairing. Fw190s :- Eduard u/c legs, 2 x cockpits, ailerons, 1 x rudder, MPM resin interior, resin spinners, rear fairings from MPM and Falcon kits. Whilst I can see a fair few flaws in these builds I at least now have fufilled my ambition to add these types to my Luftwaffe collection. Cheers Andy- 11 replies
