A nice kit. Looking forward to seeing whose mount you will do.

Hello,

I had already built a Bf 109F-4 from Zvezda a few years ago to represent one of the aircrafts flown by A. Grislawski visible here

A nice kit. Looking forward to seeing whose mount you will do.

This time, the project is the mount of the top Hungarian Ace: Dezső Szentgyörgyi with 30 (or 32 depending on the sources) victories claimed + 5 or 6 probables...
This Bf 109F-4 was flown by Törzsörmester Dezső Szentgyörgyi from 1/1FS during winter 1942-43.

Ready !

Cool choice.

Hello,

Start with the cockpit: nothing complicated, I only added some wires. I also decided to use the early style Bf 109F seat included in the box. These F-4s delivered to Hungary were aircrafts already used in operation by the Luftwaffe and I assumed that they could be F-4s from the early series, with the corresponding seat... And then that changes from the usual seats (G style)
