And one can only dream of the Bulgarian post-war local trainer variant that was built with the Erla canopy, and later (50s) served in Yugoslavia. As much as people say, and rightly so, that there are a lot of G-6 kits, I wouldn't mind Eduard doing a Bf 109F/G/K series.. finding a good Bf 109G-2 or G-4 kit is actually quite a pain! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 All main Bf109F/G/K versions including the G-12 in 1/72 are confirmed based on info provided by CEO recently several times, so why not to repeat once again. It will just take up to three years from now on, in the most optimistic scenario. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The only problem with this kit is Eduard are still insist on molding the pitot probe integral with the wing. Do they expect it to still be there at the end of the build? 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was a myth, I have an old KP / Mastercraft kit with those markings but remember reading it was based on a misinterpretation of a b/w photo of a RAL6013 one under camouflage netting. I'd love to be proven wrong though! Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe there were only two done in any kind of camo and that was after they were out of service and doing gate-guard and airframe school duties. The gate guard was D.121 that still survives today and the other was scrapped in the early 50's. As Andre said above: "Any colour as long as it's RAL6013!" 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG-Mech Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Of course possible! Once there was a german history TV show about the Independence War and the S-199, that was a german plane. In this show there was a witness of that time, who saw the S-199 ariving in Israel. He said, they had to paint over the Hakenkreuz at the tail. So even a witness is no source. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
