Under new Management...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109F-4, 1 Sqn SAAF


Reini78

Recommended Posts

Due to waiting time with most other projects, my dad decided to continue with the "roundeled" theme and start the next captured 109.

Once again a 1 Sqn SAAF bird, this time captured in Lybia 1942.

Like with the other two, he uses a Hasegawa kit and Rising Decals.

Already glued fuselage and wing together but then the cockpit tub got loose. Sadly all recovery attempts failed, so "da capo" with a new kit....

using this ancient Hasegawa G-2 kit which is basically a F-4 kit.

Used a piece of metal pipe for the antenna wire inlet.

Realized that the original aircraft had additionel cowl scoops which were usually first found on the G-2. Either they were installed because of the African heat or it was a later model replacement cowl.

the South Africans overpainted the underside with a brighter colour than RLM78

used Gunze H314 FS35622 for it

realized that the underside wingtips weren´t painted red, there was only a line, maybe they planned to fill the rest but didn´t

so, painted the rest blue again
