BOBO Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A UM kit of a Bg 109G got lost with me and has now become a victim of my building obsession. However - not another run-of-the-mill version, but something special. There was once a conversion kit for this in 1/32 scale, but in 1/48 it wasn't even thought of. So the man is himself. The Ga-6 version was manufactured under license in Hungary. Some of these machines came around. Luftwaffe around 1948/49. And these machines were modified a bit, I didn't really understand the reason for that, weapon modifications, engine modifications - I don't really know. I started looking for some images as templates and was disappointed that they became fewer and fewer and eventually disappeared completely from forums and reports. But - I secured these for the purpose of the image template and I don't want to withhold them from you. This is the kit from UM: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though there were Bf109s also built under licence in Hungary as well. The squiggle/mottle is very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 109s under licence in Hungary? The extended bulge was a feature of the Romanian ones. However, I don't know how many actually built after the war. Where would they get the engines from? The Russians were much more interested in replacing the German types with Russian ones.

Even if the armour was pitiful, still a prop drive AFV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosledge I get your point though, wrong area for this subject of post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
