My 1/48 Bf 109F-4 trop. H. J. Marseille

[le_steph40]

Hello All,

Here is my penultimate build of 2010. It's the 1/48 Hasegawa Bf 109F-4 Trop with Hasegawa kit decals apart for the "gelbe 14" which is from Kagero.
This aircraft was the last F-4 flown by the Hauptmann H. J. Marseille, staffelkapitan 3./JG27, during September 1942 before being killing in a flying accident while flying a Bf 109G-2 W.Nr 14256.
Marseille claimed more than 40 victories while flying his last F-4 (W.Nr 8673) during September 1942.
Hope you'll like it...

Best regards
Steph

Outstanding!

So the main wheel tires had white walls too? I know about the tail wheel but not the mains.
