Hello all,
For months, if not for years, I'm working on my project of Bf 109 with DB 601 A and N engines, to say Bf 109 E-3 and E-7 (Tamiya kits) and Bf 109 T-2 (Hasegawa kit).
Both kits have too short a fuselage that must be lengthened :
My models before painting.
Bf 109 E-3 :
Bf 109 E-7. It's to be noted that on the decal sheet the "Heart" of 7./JG 27 is red but it was actually black. The tail wheel is the same as that of the E-3 kit and must be larger as per Bf 109 F-2 :
Bf 109 T-2. This is the E-7 kit with extra resin parts to modify it into a Bf 109 T-2, but the leading edge slats are too short and unuseable... I had to use the ones of the Bf 109 E-7 lengthened with parts of the resin ones ! Other parts are longer wing tips and the compressor air intake scoop. It's to be noted that some late E-4 and E-7 had this air intake.
Awaiting painting and operational markings for a night-fighter of JG 101 :
I have ordered one example of Bf 109 E-4 by Airfix and I'm now awaiting fot it...
