109G1as G2?
« on: March 28, 2008, 02:19:01 PM »
I may or may not have found a 109G1 of 5./JG11 that succesfully destroyed a B17 by dropping a 250kg bomb on it.



I also have found a..... wait for it...


Bf.109T of 11./JG11... could I do that as an Emil?

Never read it, may have to pick it up. Read about him in Osprey's Defense of the Reich 109 aces book.

109T more like a 109E-7 or whats-it-called E-7n than our E-4. Even then it'd be like sticking a ta152 skin on a dora :)


No good for 109E plane model.

And an appropriate example because the T had extended wingspan IIRC.

It most certainly did. It also had a wider landing gear track if I'm not mistaken

$9.95 on Amazon.

Definitely adding that one to the list. Cheers, Fencer.

Personally, I think it might be doable, but that all depends on whether you would have to cut some camo off of the wings or squish it together a lot. Since the 109T wasnt exactly common, but a pretty cool aircraft, I would love to see a skin in the game, and as was stated, the T very much resembled the E, though with wider gear and a longer wingspan.
