Some time ago I put a wanted on the for sale section for a 109 I use to own,,,,I heard nothing & forgot all about it,,,, then a few months later I poped a call to kingfisher aviation regarding a ziroli p51 ,,,,, but I was told they only had a old tatty 109,,what they beleved to be a meister,,,,which turned out to be my old one,,,,a deal was done & I took it to dave clarke & he was kind enough to go through the complete airframe doing all the repairs & almost totally rebuilding the front of the wing,,, installing my da85 ,, making a new rudder,,, adding some servo hatches & generally doing everything needed to make it a flyer again,,,once it was ready to come home I could turn it into a F7 also i could then fit a cockpit & a more scale canopy as the one on it was a joke,,,,,& add some suface detail then repaint it in the star of afrikas markings,,,,HANS JOACHIM MARSEILLE....he had twelve 109s issued to him so this model would be one of the last F variants he had before the G variants he flew,,,, getiing over 100 victories in the 109,,,,,, on collecting a newly issued G gustav he had engine probs & elected to bail out ,, hitting the tail he was either knocked out or hit in the chest area & he never opened the parachute falling to his death,,
BIG THANKS TO DAVE CLARKE FOR ALL HIS HELP & SKILL SORTING THE MANY PROBLEMS OUT.
