Good evening everyone.

Since when am I building planes again? Literally very seldom, I guess. Once in a lifetime you have to do a kit that is a true classic. And what could be more classic than a Bf 109...

Since the first time I saw Gablers Mosquito hunter, I was hooked. A Bf 109 in bare metal finish (for less weight, that is) - thats something you really dont see very often except in an aircraft factory hall.


Who was Kurt Gabler? And what does his G-6 look like?

Theres some trouble with the wings - some say its RLM 75 on top and RLM 76 on the belly (the Eduard instructions for example). Some say its all natural metal - what makes sense somehow, all paint stripped off should give even better performance.

Now lets go and hunt some Mossies!

:peace:

Regarding the kit itself and the subject: for sure. :quotes: By chance :quotes: I found some Eduard pilot & crew figures as well for some bucks less.
