Alain Gadbois Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Very nice work! The RB canopy and wheel wells make a big difference! What's the link with the Finnish AF? Alain Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the link with the Finnish AF? Alain That plane (a Me 109G8 without the camera and fairings) was delivered to the Finnish AF in the on June 28th 1944 during the soviet invasion and need for planes was so urgent that it flew a few missions in german colors before getting a proper set of finnish markings. It managed to score 8 victories in that livery and was written off in 1950 The plane became MT-462 in finnish inventory and that code was written with chalk behind the cockpit. In that sense the decal isn't convincing as it looks like it's painted Edited March 30, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
