IIRC, the Heller F is way out of scale. Frog did one that was okay, but obviously not up to today's standrads.

I believe the Italeri is considered to be the best.

The Italeri is your best bet these days, but they missed a panel line around the fuselage, so if you want it right you need to fill and rescribe the fuselage. I too wish Hasegawa or Tamiya would come out with one. Jack "the 109 nut"
Have there ever been any rumors about a Hasegawa or Tamiya 1/72 -F? Considering all the aftermarket sets and decals for the -F, one would expect that a new kit might make sense.
Not having paid much attention to 109 kits since I only build US a/c I have to ask how hard it would be to convert an early G kit to an F? Surely there wouldn't be much involved? There must be a suitable kit.
You can try converting the Hasegawa G-6. The cowl bulges are separate so it can be done with a little help. I did it and was quite happy with the result!
Yes, you can convert early G-s back to F. It can get tricky in spots, but not impossible. It just seems funny that with all the 109 kits out there, no one has nailed a good F yet. Jack "the 109 nut"
Didn't Italeri do one?
