Hello everybody!
I need a great advice, especially from those people Bf-109 fanatic
I would like to build a Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6/U4 from Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, 1^ Squadriglia, 2° Gruppo, "7 nero" ("black seven") on duty in November 1944 at Aviano Airfield (Italia), with typical three tone grey camuoflage, bright yellow wing-tips, bright yellow engine undercowling,
The aircraft should be a late version of G-6, that is externally very similar to G-14 (tall wooden tail, short tail wheel) except canopy that is NOT "Erla Haube": actually it is a "standard G-6 canopy".
I'm talking about 1/72 scale and I think I have two options:
- to buy an Academy G-14 and then an aftermarket G-6 canopy (i.e. Squadron #9182);
- to buy an Hasegawa G-14 (late issue kit) that - as I read somewhere on the web - contains two canopies (tha Erla one and the standard one).
Does anybody advice me something about my project?
I would prefer the second chance, because it seems cheaper and because I would try Hasegawa Bf-109 (I already built a G-6 from Academy).
Does anybody know which Hasegawa kit I have to buy? I mean, what's the code of the Hasegawa G-14 kit containing the two canopies?
Or do I have to follow a different way to make my project true?
Thanks a lot in advance for your attention to my words.
Regards.
CARLO
