Re: My first Gemini Aces - Me 109 Russian Front

I've seen a couple of places discounting the Russian front 109 with prices under $20. I'm not that into the Russian front but at the price I've been severely tempted. Had it in the shopping cart a few times but haven't pulled the trigger yet....

Honestly, the Russian front in WWII is not a real interest of mine either - as a matter of fact, the only pieces in my collection from the Russian front are (is???) a Corgi Fw 190 and a Model Power IL 2(?). WWII Med/N. Africa and the Pacific dominate my collection.

Also, I'm not really all that into the Me 109 (but REALLY like the Fw 190)....

...which makes me even more surprised that I bought and like THIS Me 109 so much. (Maybe its just because it is different. The lines are cleaner on the "F" and later models vs. the "E's" and earlier. )

I don't want to be the one to blame if you don't like it, but if you "pull the trigger" on one for under $20 - I don't think you will be disapointed at all. Just my 2 cents.
