Bf 109 Graf

Always one of my favorite schemes on the Messerschmitt. I am considering the Franklin version, can anyone give me a review? Also, any dealers selling them cheap.

Thanks

Re: Bf 109 Graf

I think it's been discontinued, so Perry's is your best bet.

Re: Bf 109 Graf

Hi wmosner,

I just bought one and have mixed feelings about it. To me, the horizontal stabilizers are mounted too high on the fin, and the plane's underside detail is too simplified. The model has good features, though, and I'll post a photo review soon.

I've got it (FM-B11B596). Other than the horizontal stabilizer issue noted by Ara1, I think it looks really cool.

Re: Bf 109 Graf

bummer -- Badcat had these on sale just a little bit ago... $30-35 I think... but they are gone (pretty much all FM stock is gone from BC) You can fix the stab issue pretty easily no, otherwise it looks ok, and is an awseome scheme that I wish someone else would do in 1:72...
