Reini78 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 #23/2018 And the next roll out... After a German Bf110G nightfighter crashlanded in Switzerland, Germany delivered 12 Bf109G-6 to Switzerland so that the 110 would be destroyed in exchange and the technology kept secret. Switzerland used these G-6 only until 1948 due to many technical problems. These were caused by minor quality work and sabotage by the POWs and KZ inmate workers in the factories. After two emergency landings due to engine failures, a lost canopy during flight, and a crash into other aircraft on the ground, J-704 only had about 57 flight hours when it was withdrawn from service on February 2nd 1947. In it´s short life it was repaired, repainted and fitted with a tall tail. Hasegawa kit, crosses and stripes masked and painted (Montex mask for the crosses), decals from Cutting Edge, Eduard seatbelts, EZ line for aerials, Gunze RLM71 and 79 for the camo. The landing gear base of the Hasegawa G legs is too narrow, so my dad tried for the first time to move the leg/fuselage joints more outward.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Great work on your Swiss 109 ... I have a Interned P-51B in a similar scheme i will be doing someday. It has the Red/white Stripes but overlays D-Day invasion stripes on the Lower wing. So it starts as the Red/White and finishes Black/White. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 What a great looking 109. Never seen that scheme before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 A very unusual camo - suitable for the dusty desert regions of Switzerland, I presume? The red-white bands add a dash of color! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
