At Sea Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Having inherited 'I flew for the Fuhrer' from my Grandfather and read it repeatedly though my life I can think of no better subject to model. I plan to use the Peddinghaus decals for Knoke's personal aircraft, a Bf. 109 G-1 when he was with 5th Staffel JG 11 at Jever in 1943. My well read copy! 1953 First Edition! I have wanted to build this aircraft for a long time, and now finally feel I have the skills to do it justice. I'll be working on them in chronological order, so will build my Bf 109 E-3 of Obstlt. Hans-Hugo Witt first. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 I'll be using this boxing of the Bf 109 G-2, which differs from the G-1 in the head armour and the minor difference to the pressurised canopy, so I will be checking as much as I can and if necessary raiding my G-6 kit for the necessary parts to make a G-1 from a G-2. But in all honesty I think it won't make a huge difference. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 An interesting subject choice with a great story behind it. 16 hours ago, At Sea said: That single caption says so much about war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Great choice 👍 I have read the book too, and really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to your build. Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
