Finishing this little project has taken a bit longer than I had planned...... Here is the finished airplane, again modeled after a training machine. The photos I have of this one shows it in very fresh paint (likely just out of overhaul) with the left gear and wing damaged from a ground-loop. The available info on the LEMB database shows this to be a BF109B assigned to Zerstorerschule 1.

Jumo Powered Bf-109s In 1/48


This short-run Ventura kit was actually quite nice to build even though it takes some extra effort to clean up the molding stubs and such. I did, however, use a number of spare parts from my bins, including a full Airfix canopy set, SAC main gear legs and Hobbycraft/Academy propeller, cockpit sidewall panels, main wheels, tailwheel and oil cooler. All in all, this was a fairly fun build and this looks very nice next to the other Jumo 109s in my growing collection.

I couldn't resist a photo of all three Jumo pilot-trainers lined up. I so enjoy the training programs!

It's over a year since anything new has happened here, time now to start another early 109!

This one will be a late-model Jumo with deep radiator bath, so the entire Classic Airframes-style nose is being grafted onto the old Hobbycraft fuselage:

Assembly going forward. Notice the two small white fairings on the engine cowl--these were a modification made by the Swiss to accomodate the cowl guns they used:
