Fine Molds 1/72 Bf 109 V-30. Finally, a 109 in NMF (almost)


Recommended Posts

This is my latest 109 completion, the V-30 prototype. This plane represents the morphing of the F to the G series with the airframe having aspects of both. I have always been intrigued by the configuration and paint scheme on this bird and am glad to have finally finished it.

The build can be seen here:

Looks fantastic! I too had the impression I had read wrong about the scale, it just looks bigger. The fact that you made a one of a kind 109 just makes this build truly remarkable. May I ask what color you used for the fuselage? I really like it

 

P.S. never mind the question, just read your WIP thread... great work indeed

Thank you all for the very kind comments; I am truly humbled!  George, I intend to go to the Hamilton show. It is one of my absolute favorites. Volker, there are four available photos of this aircraft. Two of them show it after a belly landing. The other two show it on its gear and it indeed has no landing gear covers. You can find them here: https://me109.info. You may have to use the search feature under "V" and scroll down to V-30a.

Like several others already said; it can easily pass for a larger scale kit. The modeling mat was actually the first hint that made me scroll back to the title. 'Yes, it's 1/72..' Even with the big detailed shots it's hard to believe. Top tier modeling there.
