Me109G-6 Finnish Air Force
Olá a todos!
Hi all
Here is another 109.
Airfix 1/72 but not new tool. Very scarce interior detail to say the least. Wrong MG bubbles on the nose, to name a few.

Very good Friday morning to wake up and see familiar cool shark teeth Bf109 model.
My dad’s a good friend Börje ”Böke” Hjelm decided to paint those teeth to his ME-422 in 1948. And very soon those same fancy teeth were ordered for removal … no humor allowed in military planes here at that time ?! Btw Captain Hjelm also started IPMS Finland in 1968. Thank you for sharing your nice model of his ”Mersu”.
Thanks mate!
So it confirms the research I've done when building this kit.
It was challenging since I had so contradicting versions, I mean, with or without the cloud and bat on the fuselage.
Cheers
Very nice
Thank you mate
Nice finishes, Paul - nothing overstated.
Thanks Rob.
I'm still in learning process
Great work Paulo. Nice to see the Finnish markings, and well done with the 'beule' they look fine. I have built this kit in the past - I did the Swiss markings. The kit is a little dated but is great fun to build.
Cheers
Hi David
Thanks for your comments. Yes, this kit is outdated for sure. I bought by mistake. I thought it would be the new generation.
If now, I'll definitely would buy Fine Moulds or AZ.
Exellent job Paulo 🙂

Thank you mate!
great work on this 109 ! very Nice!
Thanks mate
Looks like an Me-109 to ME (never seen one with the shark mouth before, though).
They are not unusual, there are some B models with star mouths
Great-looking 109. I like those markings - may have to do something similar, as I tend to go for more unusual schemes than the standard.
By the way - thanks for posting the WIP link - very helpful build article! Great work - again!
Hi Greg.
Thanks for your comments. When I'm inspired I find time to do a WIP.
Very nice 109!
Cheers mate!
Really nicely done - terrific painting and weathering ?
Thanks for your comments
