Me 109 1/48 conversion

I know it's *been* done, names escape me at the moment, though. Reasonably sure I've seen them at either

or (I'd be really surprised *not* to see them at the second.) Much as I like ARC, I don't recall them there.

Ventura from Australia does/did a kit. I do not know if it is still available. Cheers, Max Bryant

Yeah, it's definitely been done--I've seen a built-up of it in the last year. Can't say whose coversion kit it is.

FWIW I believe Falcon of New Zealand has done a 1/48 scale vac-u-form conversion set that included both a Messerschmitt 109G and an FW-190A 2 seater.

Hi Paul,

Rummaged through my collection (note not loft insulation as yet as am in flat ;), and have the ARBA Me109 G12 2 seat conversion (code: CV067), which is resin and designed for the Hasegawa G2 (No. J 106) kit, though this type was also made using G4/6/ & 6-AS according to the instructions.

It comprises of new body, cockpit panels for rear section and 2 vacform canopies.

I don't know if these are still available but try Hannants or if required I may be able to find Arba's cotact details.

Cheers, Stephen.
