Here is a Messerschmitt bf109 directly inspired from a real model from WW2. All bricks are genuine Lego.

This is a G-6 sub-version as piloted by Gruppenkommandeur Friedrich-Karl "Nasen" Müller". Nasen was a nightfighter pilot who survived the war with over 30 confirmed victories. My model depicts his G-6 from Summer 1944. Here is below a comparison between a real drawing from his fighter and my creation. Btw, the G version was nicknamed Gustav.

You may detect 2 differences between the above pictures and the below ones ... answer at the end.

I had to make hard choices for the color section but ultimately, I decided to use LBG, DBG, dark green (I would have preferred a dark dark green) and black for the underside.

Decals are custom and come from AIMS for 1/32 scale models, except for the propeller nose where I cut some Lego sticker sheet.

Here are a few shots from the field:

I had started with the idea of an all black bf109 but as I could not get the corresponding decals for the exact marking, I progressively moved to this camo version. Doing nice camo with bricks remains a challenge, particularly dependant on available colors and shape. But I've hope for the future as TLC just released a part matching perfectly the bf109 nose ...

About the 2 differences:

  • The G version has no support for the rear wings ... I had incorrectly mounted 2 antennas like in the E version (Emil).
  • In my final version, I made the canopy longer by 1 stud. The top bars are therefore 5-stud long (from cut hoses), instead of 4. It better match the pictures. The comparative picture still have the 4-stud long canopy.

Hope you like it ...

Well built. You captured the lines and decals well from the source materials. Thanks for including those. NPU on the tail wheel. The field diorama is a good addition to it too.

The building techniques you used in this build are outstanding. You did well with capturing the aircraft's shape at such a small scale 

I also like those spruce trees very much! :thumbup:
