Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 You knew this was coming. So, is it the A, B, C, D....? Personally I am torn between the E & F models. If pressed I would choose the F. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The E ... The epitome of Teutonic efficiency thinking ... "This it what it must be able to do ... Who cares what it looks like as long as it does the job!" Rog 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 When I was young I liked the struts on the E tailplane. They removed my eyes from responsibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I know this will sound heretic to many ... but this is about as far as I will go in my interest for the 109 ...

Wumm Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hubert! For mine it is the F; perhaps the most graceful, then the K as a representation of taking a concept beyond its logical end. S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S In fairness, although it does not do anything for me, I reckon the 109 is a remarkable design : put a big engine in the nimblest possible airframe, and keep up-to-date with engine developments and combat experience. If I had to choose, I’d agree with you on the « F ». (And when Tamiya release a G-6 in 1/32, as I forecasted on LSP some 6 years ago, I can very well imagine the riots in the model shops and on-line retailers ) Hubert 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 I have a 1/32 F model on my SOD list. It will be a RAFWaffe 109 F. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I like the G6 the best. Unlike the sleekest variants, it has a few lumps and bumps to draw the eye. And so many schemes available! I have 2 LS G6's and a few more 1/48 scale G6's waiting to be built. Gaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikester Posted November 1, 2019 Members Share Posted November 1, 2019 Probably the Friedrich. The cleanest lines of any 109 along with a dizzying array of paint schemes and markings make it really attractive to model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 21, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2019 Definitely the Friedrich. Sleek, smooth, nimble, and fast. It was light on firepower, but as a guy who would have been fighting against the 109s, I find that to be an advantage I'll give a shout out to the E.1 as well. That ship was exactly as Willi Messerschmitt envisioned his masterpiece to be. Hubert's version looks good, too. Classy in a Modern Art way. That being said, the 109 is documented as being a tough bird, so I expect those little scratches will buff right out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
