Very nicely done Sir! I really like the early 109's wish they had some decent offerings in 1/48. Its pretty amazing when You consider the 109 started with a British engine (Kestrel) and ended with a British engine, to be fair the last ones were Spanish built tho. Amazing work as always, looks bigger than 1/72!

You should be very pleased Bish...wonderful job sir! I really like the fact that you always incorporate a dio base with your builds. Dioramas are what got me very interested into this hobby. Thank you for taking the time to post this build...it was a pleasure watching you construct her.

P.S. - I really love the red tail LOL!

Thanks Chad. No, 72nd is my scale of choice. Though if they ever brought out an early 109 in 32nd i would grab one.

Wrapped this one up by placing it on the base and adding a couple of figures. Another simple dio.

Really pleased with how its turned out, nice kit with some minor issues that are easy to over come. I can deffinetly recomend AMG and this won't be the last i do.

Nice to get some pre war subjects on the shelves. Most of my German aircraft and armour are mid to late war. Before this i had done 2 aircraft from 1940. And next up some armour from the Polish campaign.

Thanks for following along.

The E and F were both produced from 1937 and used in Spain. The Z was already in use by the time of the Polish campaign, and i think was the main 17 is use during the BoB. The P was still is use as a recon aircraft, but i think the older bomber versions were being withdrawn.

The P i have i am doing in markings for the Polish campaign, i'd also like to get their F for a Condor Legion aircraft.

I am surprised RS have not done a 17Z yet, but then most of their kits do seem to be more obscure subjects.

 

Ok...that is very interesting to know. The book I have on the early German aircraft covers the 17's, but kinda hinted that the "E" version was '33-35, and I did not know that it was used over Spain..good to know. I'm glad you clarified that for me. I hope you do a WiP on the Polish campaign "P" kit. I have seen B&W photos of them but would love to see what you do with her. 

I like the fact that RS does the hard to find or obscure kits. Set's you aside from the normal selection of kits. Do you think RS held off on the 17Z because it was the most produced of the 17's?

It was indeed, at least early in the war. Production ended in mid 1940 as it was being replaced by the Ju 88 and its role as a bomber was coming to an end in 1941.  I already have an RS P model but they also do an E with the tail marking i want.

 

You are correct. After I read your post about the Do-17 I had to brake out the old aircraft history book and read up on it. The Ju 88 is a impressive aircraft also.

I know the RS P....what tail markings are you speaking of? I would like to look it up and take a peek at it.

 

 

 

This is the kit i want to get, has the same type of tail marking as the 109, with the National Socialist flag on it.

Oh wow Bish...that is a great looking kit. I really like the different paint schemes for it, but the red tail is the one I would choose. Now is the "E" version from the late 30's or was it the first version in 1940? I know that the Do-17Z was the most produced version. I still looking through my books as I type this, but what version(s) were used during the Battle of France and Battle of Britian? Was it the "F"?
