1/32 Bf 109G-10/u4 Wk.nr.611008

[Antonio Argudo]

Hii everyone, 

Going to be building this G10/u4  from which I acquired some wooden parts last year,  it was built by WNF  in late 1944 or beginning of 1945 and  went down probably february-march due to anti aircraft fire.

here more info about  it given by the seller and his research:

The aircraft was Me109 G10/U4 W. Nr. 611008. She was flying a reconnaissance flight over Freyung Grafenau to Schoenberg. Over Schoenberg, she was hit by US FlaK and caught fire. The plane flew towards a house in the woods where it crashed into a boggy ground in front of a forest.

The pilot bailed out, but he did not survive. The body was recovered and carted off with to a house in the woods, where he was given a simple funeral by a local woman. The name of the pilot was Feldwebel Hans Helmut Habermehl and was 26 when he died. I am told 1./JG108...but...as it was clearly a machine from Luftflotte 4 (based on markings and type), it is most likely an aircraft on loan from II./JG 52 ( or ex II./JG 53) or from some recon unit under ex-Luftflotte 4. According my documents it could be 2. and 3./NAG 14. Years later, his body was sent to Hofkirchen (military cemetery)

I finished recently an Eduard  1/48 version for my friend Shawn who has a collection of parts of this same bird to display with. Now it's time to make it  again in 1/32 scale and for my own

Fine start Antonio

Indeed.  Nice start.  I like the riveting of the compass access.  I'll have to remember that.

 

Sincerely,
