LSP_Kevin Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 John from Marsh Models (Aerotech) has contacted me to let me know that he's working on an Me 209V1 kit for release later this year. He also sent through a photo of the current state of the master pattern: This is of course a resin kit, and will be in 1/32 scale. That's all I know. I'll post more news when/if John sends some through (or he can add to this post himself). Kev Iain, Fanes, D Bellis and 11 others 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Between this and the Macchi M67, he's going to extract a fair chunk of cash from my wallet this year scvrobeson, chrish and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 They do look nice, but they are VERY expensive for what is basically a 'curbside' kit. RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expensive kits, no doubt, but it's all relative to how badly you want that particular aircraft in your cabinet. As for VALUE for money, a few hundred bucks for months and months of using all the techniques in your repertoire to end up with a pretty unique model, is relatively cheap entertainment MikeC, Martinnfb and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V1 was first left unpainted, with puttied seams and rivets, and covered in highly polished clear varnish. After the record attempt, the aircraft was painted in highly polished RAL 5008 Graublau (the Messerschmitt company color, also used on e.g. civilian Bf 108) - NOT RLM 24 as you often see quoted.
