Re: What's Wrong With This BF-109

Besides it being made by Witty, is the swastika backwards on the tail?

Yep. They put it on backwards. Incredible!

Re: What's Wrong With This BF-109

The first few releases were all like this. As a matter of fact, I think they took a long while to finally get it on right. And don't even ask about the Spitfire cockpit!

Ever noticed that the pilot flies the Spit from the backseat? The cockpit is set too far back and even though Witty has been aware from day one, they refuse to move the cockpit into the right position. Heck, its even easy to do.. Martin posted a "how to" on the first Modelhangar way back when..........

Re: What's Wrong With This BF-109

Heh heh. I thought you were talking about the latest Witty Bf-109G6 release, "Black 8" of 8./JG 54 (WT-WTW72003-15). I had thought the backwards swazi was no longer an issue on Witty Bf-109s, and I was looking forward to picking this one up (I need a -G6 and this one looked good) but, well, check out the pictures at TFM. It's not just that particular model, either -- I've seen it in person and, yep, the swazi is bass-ackwards.
 

Nrrrm! Whoosh! Rat-tat-tat!

Neat looking plane except for the backward swastika.
