Bf 110G-2 'Pulk-Zerstörer'....

[Erich]

go for it you guys; would love to see a rendition of my cousin/ace Hans Baer of II./NJG 5. He was Gruppenkommandeur until his untimely death by accident in his G-4 ( December 31, 1943 ), his two man crew bailed out and I have never found them to know if they survived the war or not. Hans had 12 victories but only some 8 or so are found in Theo's monster work as confirmed. there is some speculation as to whether or not he had a Mossie to his credit but their is fact that a Mossie nearly ended his life when he flew a Do 217 in 4./NJG 3.

Life is fickle, go eat a pickle....

Definitely a job for Wayne I think, I imagine it would be an award winner. A very fitting tribute to an ace. I believe it was engine failure that caused the crash?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful. I have to say the 110 is quickly becoming my favorite aircraft and Lucky's purchase is looking pretty dam nice to treat myself to.

 

[Erich]

yes Maxi, Hans was over their airfield when one enigne shut down and the 110G-4 winged over, surprising to me that Hans was able to keep it level enough for the guys to bail and he went down with the crate

 

[Airframes]

Hmm. Now that Revell have re-released their 1/32nd scale Bf110C, I wonder if they'll do the same with their '110G ? That one I wouldn't mind doing again. I wouldn't mind building Hans's crate, but I've recently done a 1/48th scale '110G as you know, so a bit of a change is needed I think.

 

[Lucky13]

Think that I'll have to get the G-4 at some point as well fellas....

Clearly a very brave man. Are there any photos of the gentleman and his aircraft Erich?

 

[Lucky13]

Trying to find a '110 "Pulk Zerstorer" with the spinner spirals for the other G-2....pain in the neck!

True, is there any pics Hans and his '110?

 

[Lucky13]

Just found that CMK does this set for the Revell/Monogram '110 kit....8)

 

[beaupower32]

My bad about the dual pic Eric, I had a red x for that top picture, so I didnt know.

 

[Erich]

no probs beau

as to my cousin no pics yet of his crate, I have one of his crew standing in front of their Do 217J when with 4./NJG 3. Hans is already a Hauptmann. I know there are other pics out there, it is just finding them.
think we can make assumptions as to what his G-4 looks like though.......

 

[lesofprimus]

Maybe start a thread about the what ifs of this crate Erich???? Sounds like we have some serious intrest in doin Hans' bird...

 

[Lucky13]

...and you can get conversions to do the Do 217J as well, IF you want to do it in 1/48.

 

[Maximowitz]

Just to clarify, from Dr Theo Boiten's "Nachtjagd War Diaries Vol II."

Hptm. Hans Baer.

4./NJG3, 5./NJG5, Stab II./NJG5.

Victories: 7 to 10.

Killed 20-21.12.1943 in crash at Garwitz near Parchim due to engine exploding on take off.

 

[Lucky13]

Simple Models do a resin Dornier Do 217N-2 conversion still trying to find J set....

There you go, Koster again, J-2/N-1. But, this is in vacum.

Was Hans' Dornier a J-2? I think that Italeri does one in 1/72...

 

[Lucky13]

Think that we've definitely cought a bug here....

 

[Wayne Little]

I WILL catch this bug.....it's just a matter of time....

 

[109ROAMING]

I'm Glad mate!

 

[Erich]

before going to 110G's in NJG 5 Hans flew an N variant of Dornier while in 4./NJG 3. will try and find more, I have stuff buried at the present

like Les said I should start up another thread as we are talking 2 different schemes/personell and a/c

 

[jamierd]

its a good bug to have
