After she made a cameo in my last build and with loco's out of the way it was time to make a start on the 1/48th Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3.

 

Being a Collectors Club Model it gives two very different schemes to do one is the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force Evaluation version (Bf 109E-7) and the other is a captured RAF version (Bf 109E-3) - I chose the latter.

 

Compared to my last build, this one has gone together very quickly.. so far.

 

Cockpit and aircraft interior painted and detailed.

Very nice work and something different on the Me109 front...

 

Certainly opens up an whole range of captured aircraft operated by the allies. I believe Monty had a Storch at some point?

 

Cheers,

In Eric Brown's book Wings on My Sleeve he flies many German aircraft just after ww2 and lands a Storch on an aircraft carrier...
