Doghound Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) The One O Nine wth the BMW 801D is another mystery ship from Messerschmitt. Sure it was built and flew with discouraging performance. But no pictures are available. There are some pics of a radial engined 109. Burt I think they show the Bf 109 V21 with a Ptatt Whitney engine. A few plans exist: http://www.google.de/imgres?q=bf+109x&client=opera&sa=N&channel=suggest&tbm=isch&tbnid=4a-U4K6X_iQk_M:&imgrefurl=http://p-d-m.livejournal.com/177376.html&docid=IuiQqETEWzusvM&imgurl=http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee446/lleullaugiffin/Germany/109/x-4.jpg&w=984&h=516&ei=DWLtUfvPBIOkPeiAgfgM&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur Recently I found a pic in the net: http://alternathistory.com/files/users/user675/BF-109-X-03.JPG I used the Matchbox 109 E, the old Hasegawa FW 180 A an a quarterscale P 47 from Monogram as astart. This is the general arangement of kit parts: First to come in was the saw! Edited February 5, 2016 by Doghound 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghound Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 A little cementing later I arranged the parts for a first look of the beast. I was happy with the result and decided giving it a chance. reminds me of a Ki 44 Shoki. It's a pity that you always have to do the cockpit before cementing the fuselage together. You will soil it on a regular base during following steps. I have no Idea the real cockpit looks like. I use the 109-F as guide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghound Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) A little cementing later I arranged the parts for a first look of the beast. I wasn't too happy with the result but decided giving it a chance. For a better inpression I sprayed some primer on the fuselage.

Parabat Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 That looks sooo weird! Wings look really skinny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghound Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Sorry for the slow progress I Ve got a cataract surgery on both eyes and had to pause with posting. Well I decided against this fat fuselage which looks more like a Fiat G50 and split it apart again. This is the comparison between old and new. This is how it looks after a diat. Photo shoot with elevators and spinner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
