1:32 Hasegawa Bf109 G-14 RAF Farnborough


Recommended Posts

At best a wild approximation.  Apparently when displayed at Farnborough in 1945, W.Nr. 415601 / VD358 had the armament and cockpit armour removed, and an open tailwheel bay.  The markings are no doubt incorrectly sized as they were gestimated from profile artwork - a dangerous kitchen...

No real idea how grubby she was, so erred on the cleaner side of "freshly painted in RAF colours..."

Great to see this one finished, would've been hard to hold back on the weathering I bet. I think a very realistic result and a unique scheme to boot..... well done!

 

I don't think I'll be up there when the show is on doh!

Great work as usual Ralph! I really like it. I'm glad you picked it up and finished it as I recall that it was quite some time since you started it.

 

 

I know the Wnr is given as 415601 in a lot of sources but such a number did not exist. RAF had another G-14 at Farnborough that was 413601 but it was never repainted in RAF colors so that's not it either . A 465xxx range aircraft seems more likely IMHO. The number isn't repeated on the model so I guess it doesn't matter much. :-)

 

Cheers / Anders
