Revell “Messa Schnitzel” 109 of unknown scale - one of the old “Deal’s Wheels” kits - converted to a “Finnerschnitzel” Finnish Air Force FS-109G.

Moved the wing armament to the nose and remodeled the forward fuselage and spinner to represent a G model. Canopy got a coat of future so you can see the dashing Finnish pilot a little easier. Underside is painted standard Luftwaffe light blue and upper surfaces painted in the standard Finnish Air Force colors of black and olive green. Some of the 109s that arrived in Luftwaffe camo were later repainted in standard Finnish camo. 

Decals were from a sheet of 1/48 FAF insignia and 109 markings. Russian victory stars added to the fin from another decal sheet.
