I see a new version of the Hasegawa Bf-109F on the shelves at my local plastic emporium. It is labeled as a Bf-109F-6/U "Galland". What makes it different besides Dolpho's markings on the decal sheet? Anybody had a look in the box?

Um...1/32?..
one of them armored dohickeys on the back of the seat?
Anybody remember the all metal F in Fine Scale Modeler years back? I'd love to know if anyone ever finally found out if Galland flew an all metal F or not. tia

He wasnt the only one, there were pleanty who thought that was an extremely bad idea. Regardless of the fact that the centerline cannon was easier to aim at greater distances, it was a retrograde step.
Dont believe it, for fun, fly both models in UBI Softs, IL 2 Forgotten Battles flight simultion. I definately preffer the E4/7 model over the F's almost any day. Though the flight performance is better in the F, you put out fewer high power rounds in those fleeting seconds of firing time. Against russian IL 2's, you need all the firepower you can get ! And against a B 17, it's almost a pathetic joke... (and neither one stands up to a .50 cal puonding) This is definately the best WW II flight simulation to come out, and they now have added a western front setup as well. Lots of addon's, and online play :)
American F4F pilots felt the same way when they went from a six gun wing to a four gun wing. Many pilots were very unhappy about that.
