Soon... Posable and in all kind of formats. In a store near you.
Suitable for close ups!

That is amazing!! Is it an "Emil" or later?

thanks... that's right, it is the E version.

Great looking model. While looking on internet I see there are different varations of textures for the me 109.
 Will you have any available later on your site......?

Now what a dead version like this :)

Bazze, Awesome work as always.

I hope your doing well these days.
Maybe we can hook up again at the next SigGraph!

All the best,

Not just any "Emil" but ace Adolf Galland's airplane with the Mickey Mouse symbol !

Yest that's correct - this is Gallands Me109 (http://www.stormbirdsannex.com/images/sundin/pilot_galland.jpg)

I have a book filled with me109 color schemes and blueprints so I will probably do a texture variation - not the rusty one pulled out from the bottom of the English Channel though :)

I'm doing fine Clint! Hopefully I will be able to go as part of my job this year - is it in LA?

Thanks bazze.  I will be watcching for textures. :)

Hi Bazze,

I think its in New Orleans, LA this year...but I'm not 100% sure.

*"..so I will probably do a texture variation" 
*Cool!

*"not the rusty one pulled out from the bottom of the English Channel though :)"
*You're not far wrong - this one was pulled from the bottom of a Russian lake.
And depsite all those years under the mud the owner said when they tested the spark plugs most of them still fired! Now thats what you call German engineering!!  

really nice work Bazze!..I use to draw these all the time as a kid

Looking forward to it bazze. :)

any suggestions for texture variations?

Here is a link to a couple you might consider.

One more.

*any suggestions for texture variations?

My suggestion would be the more "exotic" versions and more specific the non-German air forces .

A list of those air forces can be found on this page (even detailing which ones used the "E") :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109

ilico - thanks, but non of those are the "E" version of the Messerschmitt.

jgodeau - apart from yugoslavian, romanian, finish and swiss I have seen a japanese version. Apparently 4 machines were sent to japan for evaluation. I'm more thinking of making one used in north africa with the "desert" camo but I'm having a hard time finding decent references..

many thanks - that was a great resource!

your welcome

Bazze, will you be making the pilot available seperately for us to use in some of the other planes you made?

*... I have seen a japanese version. Apparently 4 machines were sent to japan for evaluation.

• 2 possible options : either the Japanese left the airplanes with their German camouflage and only applied Japanese markings to it or they did a more thorough job and also repainted the planes in the usual Japanese green scheme.

Simply adding a texture won't do for a desert version, as those airplanes were modified for use in tropical conditions. Aat least you have to add the "Tropenfilter" of which you can find 2 images - open and closed - at this link :[

http://www.luchtoorlog.be/me109f_f1.htm](http://www.luchtoorlog.be/me109f_f1.htm)     (in Dutch)

I would prefer a specific version and subversion correct in every detail rather than a generic airplane that could be any and at the same time none of the Bf109's many versions.

That tropical filter at that link is the wrong one. The filter you are pointing out was only for the 109 F.

(See, now that is what type of useless knowledge you get for having built 13 different versions of the Me 109 scale models when I was a little kid about 2 million years ago. Lol, and my mother said I was wasting my time. If only she can see how important that work has become.)

I was not aiming at a particular version ... but I can always claim it's a " Zwischenlösung ".

Anyway, this only confirms that every version was distinct  and that simply applying another texture won't be enough for nitpickers like us.

you don't have to worry about generic textures. The existing one is Gallands Me109E and the addtional I'm making is Hans Ohlys Me109E (Me109E-3 not Me109E-4).

Helgard - no I haven't planned to make the pilot a separate product.

Nice looking texture. :)
 When will the model be made available. :)

..it's in the testing que so a couple of days I would guess!

Excellent model as always. :)

In case anyone missed it, the ME 109 is now available for sale at Vanishing Point and Content Paradise.
