I will hate myself in the morning...

I'm in with an OLD (1990-ish) Me-109G in 1/32 scale. Comes complete with moveable control surfaces! Can't wait. . . . .

But we will love you for joining up!

Can’t wait to see it!

I would like to join with either the barely started Me 410 Hornisse “Yellow 7,” or Johann Twietmeyer’s Bf 109 K-4 from “Operation Bodenplatte” on December 31, 1945. Dortmund, Germany. JG77 lost half its force in two weeks.

Red 7, W.nr. 330168, flown by Uffz. Johann Twietmeyer of 10./JG77, Twietmeyer was hit by enemy 90mm AA during the operation and had to belly-land, while trying to make his way back to German territory he was caputerd by Canadian soldiers.

Or if time permits both! Got you down

Is the triangle coming off the antenna on the 109s a flag?

If so how does one model this on a kit? Thinking about doing this scheme for the GB but unsure as to what it was really made out of in real life? Cloth? What would it’s proper “stance” be while the aircraft sit on the ground?

It is a flag! If you read through this build review of the same kit, the builder used plastic to make this. I would use clear plastic sheet, relatively thin, painted yellow.

Thanks!

I’m pretty sure that the pennant is a sheet metal piece affixed to the antenna mast. It denotes a leadership position within the unit.
