Warrior of Neutrality: Swiss Air Force Bf 109G-6 J-704 (Hobby Boss 1:48)

[Sturmovik]

My second Bf 109 in foreign markings, the first one was a Finnish 109G-2.

I built this Hobby Boss kit in the span of 5 days, the build itself taking an afternoon thanks to the use of acrylics and the good fit of all the parts.

The Swiss markings came from Aeromaster's 1:48 sheet "Foreign 109s" in 1:48, designed in 1997 for the Hasegawa Bf 109G-2/G-6. The fuselage band came as a decal, and I was a bit aprehensive of using it because I didn´t know if it would conform well to the model. Much to my surprise, it did conform without issues.

Thanks! I should make some more foreign Messerschmitts. Maybe if I find Airfix's current 109E, I´ll build it as a Czechoslovakian machine.

Indeed - and in case you want another Swiss Air Force machine - we operated 109Es too ;-).

 

Looking forward to your next build - whatever markings it will wear.

 

Cheers,
