21st Century Toys 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109F
By James Kelley
This is my version of the 21st Century Toys Bf 109F. I added custom-made ALPS decals to make it a winter-distempered machine from 9./JG54. I can't prove that this particular group of Grunherz ever used Kannonenboote-equipped machines on the Eastern front...but for $10.00 I don't really care, either! I like the way it turned out, and that's all that really matters. I also added some left-over PE odds and ends to the cockpit, as well as PE seat belts from Eduard that I had lying around. The instrument dials are Mike Grant decals. The RLM 74/75/76 Daylight Camouflage scheme was painted completely, then the white distemper was added over top of it. I used Vallejo Model Air acrylics overall.
