1/48 Academy Hungarian Me-109Ga-6

--------------------

 

This is my Hungarian "Messer".  It was built out of the box, with a resin & photoeched cockpit by FM Detail Sets.  The insignia and the aircraft numbers (V.8+47, and the white 6) is sprayed, only the small stencils are from the kit's decal sheet.  This plane is from Veszprém (Hungary), in the summer of 1944. The pilot of this Messer is Lt. Tobak Tibor, from 101/3 Sqn. in "Puma" wing, Magyar Királyi Légierő (Royal Hungarian Air Force). The pilot's photo and the "Puma" badge was seen on the model base. In the type designation (Ga-6) the letter "a" is equal to "ausland". This plane was built in Hungary.
