Messerschmitt Bf 109E-7 Reinhard Heydrich AZ 1/72

December 28, 2023 · in Aviation · · 17 · 439

Hi to all
In addition to all the obligations, i finally managed to finish one model 🙁

AZ Model Messerschmitt in version E7. I was intrigued with those specific markings, because I did not know that this lunatic (Reinhard Heydrich) flew. Pity that he survived when he was shot down, probably more of unhappy people from Czechoslovakia/Prague would survive the war..

All in all, the standard AZ model, with few additions, AK REAL colours, and minimal weathering, as his plane did not fly long before it were shot down.

I hope you like the model.

Wish you all Merry Christmas and all best in New Year, best regards Djordje

  1. Interesting story. I wasn’t aware that Heydrich was a pilot.

  2. You guys who build 1/72 amaze me! It's always nice to have context with a kit, however brief.

  3. Nice look Bf 109, Djordje. Well done!

  4. Awesome job, Djordje! Definitely looking bigger than 1/72!
    Very interesting pilot story!

  5. Really smooth finish, great build.

  6. Very nice indeed, Djordje @djordjestarcevic! 😄 That is a beautiful 109! 👏

  7. Very impressive, Djordje @djordjestarcevic
    Hard to believe this is 1/72 scale, the paintwork and detail quality makes it look much bigger.

  8. Beautiful 109! I really like that color combo as well. It definitely looks bigger than 1/72nd scale. Great job.

  9. Great looking aircraft. Reinhard Heydrich should have received a worse fate than he did. @djordjestarcevic

  10. @djordjestarcevic - nice work.

    You ought to try the Special Hobby/Eduard 1/72 109Es. They're really nice.

  11. Very nice model. I've had Heydrich's decal sheet in 1:48 for several years, just haven't got around to it yet. Heydrich was a lunatic with an oversized ego and had a 109 at his disposal whenever he felt like being a hero fighter pilot. The Luftwaffe must have loved babysitting him when he decided to go flying!

  12. Very neat work on this 109.

  13. Thank you all on kind words
    Regards
    Djordje

  14. Really great 109 Djordje. Fantastic finish, very subtle 😊

  15. A beautiful 109 - the E is my favorite version. Love the scheme on this, and I have an AZ 109 somewhere in the stash - eager to open the box now!

  16. 🙂 ... Greetings ... 🙂 :
    A very spectacular Bf 109E-7, Djordje!
    Amazing work on the color scheme and so much more on the subtle weathering.
    All in all, a fascinating model.
