discussion Me309 1/48 Czech 'finished'

[Guest]

I'm calling it done. The kit was pretty straight forward and a fun build. I need to make some mass balancers or find some ,the kits were missing them. There were 4 different tail sections that I could find pics of and one looks really close to a 262 . Might have to get another kit and bash a 262 tail on! Hope you enjoy the pics cheers Trey

Awesome work Trey, they are brilliant. Where do you store/display all these kits you turn out? I'm running out of room already.

Great work trey, a really nice looking aircraft, although the prototypes that flew were no better than the 109 they were intended to replace! Shame , it looks such a fast design too! BTW, Trumpeter have just released a 1/48 ME 509 , that would look great alongside these 2 ! chers tony

Thanks kindly to all for the positive comments its very much appreciated! Joe you've tapped a very sore topic with the Missus as my collection is slowly overtaking every nook and cranny in the house! I need Ian to come across the pond and hook me up with one of the great display shelves he builds! Tony you're correct ,from what I've read the 309 was only marginally faster than a Gustav and less manouverable. The different tails (4 that I could find pics of but rumored to be more?)tried to correct the instability never worked out and the nose wheel reported to have a bad shimmy as well ,but I think they fixed that with a different caster assembly.
