Dr. Frankenstein here! MesserSpit questions.

[N4521U]

Call me silly, VERY silly in this case.
Most have heard, I have only recently, of the infamous Messerspit. 1944 the Luftwaffe got hold of a Mk.Vb Spitfire, landed low on fuel. Took it back to Germany and some months later discovered a Daimler 605A could hang on the Spit firewall, using the 109G engine covers.
Yessiree, I am just a bit curious if it could be built in 1/32nd?????????? So my questions arrrrrrrrrrr,
1. Is Zoukei Mura the only maker of a Bf 109G-14 in 1/32nd that includes an engine?????
2. Is the Hasegawa the Only Mk.Vb Spitfire that has FEW build problems.
3. Finding the Has kit is like finding hens teeth?
4. Is the Hobbyboss Spit to be avoided at all costs?????
5. To do this do you see as many $$$$$$$$$ signs as me????

EN803 Spitfire V captured beute coded CJ+ZY was re- engined with a DB605-A1 wrknr coded 00701990. This was a production Me110G engine. Propellor was a VDM used on the Bf109G namely 9-12159 A . All electrics had to be changed because of 12V vs 24 V. Supermarine Spitfire

In the for what it's worth column, The Revell,(Cyber Hobby, DML, Dragon), Bf-110C has two beautiful engines. While not an exact match, an option, Also Eduard makes the Bf 109G-6 DB605. The Bf 110 can be gotten for less the ZM 109, which I have, but I have two of the revell 110C7.

Hope that helps some.

Yep it may help. But Bill has asked about 1/32 scale engine . The MDC or Aires one would be the one that could fit.

I see.

I'm surprised Bill isn't going the 1:1 route.

Please don't encourage him

Agree but, the point would be for open engine display.

Always watching out for one another......... good man!

Yes but, like Don above, I do need all the motor engine mount stuff.........
and that is why I was looking at the Z.M. kit but I would be chucking a lot of this one inna bin.
Now I will look at the Bf110 to see if engine mounts are the same.
And the Revell Spit as Don suggests.
Lotta research. Thanks guys.

And I thought, and I'm told, I'm getting weirder and weirder with my aging. But Bill, you have provided me with published proof that I'm just a piker. Printing this out and hanging it on my build area wall!

I have both the II and IX, wings an issue if you way b but!!!!!

 

[N4521U]

So in my initial search, and reading reviews like in Large Scale Models, the Dragon Bf110 seems like the way to go for engines and covers since the covers is what was used on the Messerspit as well as the engines. I would be getting all the piping and engine mounts. They just need flipping to get the engine inverted. Still $170AU I'll be throwing away a lot of plastic.

The Revell Mk.IX looks like the go for the main fuselage in place of a Mk.V as was the real deal??? $77AU.

I will have to get a 109 I.P. to replace the Spit. I am assuming they may have done this. Unsure!!!!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I admire your pluck Bill, big protect and I'm surprised your not going for the 1:1 project but then again there is probably not enough plastic around for that.

Luftwaffe only modified the Instrument panel. So I would take a closer look at that.
