help, looking for Me-109F model

my Pop has over 200 models of WW2 aircraft, but one he has been searching for for years is a Me-109F model any sites where i could get him one

 

Here you go:

If you mean "Me109-F", Search Results: "109-f"
If you mean "Fw190-F": Search Results: "190-F"

I haven't ordered from these fellows before, but a few of the guys I know have and it seems like a good company.

 

This is probably the best 1/72nd model of one made.

Jo-Han 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 109 F or G old i. on eBay!

 

thanks the precise one he is looking for is a 1/36 Bf-109F-6/U, which is not released untill june on the link you posted George

 

If you want an Me 109F-6 he will have to modify an existing kit of an F-4. The F-6 is a reconnissance version of the F-4 with the armament removed. There is a camera bay installed aft of the cockpit and the machinegun slots in the cowling are faired over as these, along with the engine mounted cannon, were removed.

 

he doesent have any F-4's to spare or any conversion kits

 

I do a fair bit of modelling myself, and I think to do the conversion he probably just needs an F-4 kit. The conversion is relativly simple - put putty in the gun holes, cut an appropriate-sized hole behind the cockpit and insert a piece of clear plastic in it (acrylic, thin plexi-glass, etc). Scratch-building the camera might be a bit difficult, but, depending on how focused he is on detail, he could make do with just a simple black plastic box. If he has built a lot, he likely has a lot of "spare" pieces lying around - he might have some things that he can put together to make a reasonable replica of a camera. I don't think there was anything structurally "different" about the F-6. If he is good with computers, he can probably also track down a lot of detail photos of the photo bay on the internet.

 

thanks everyone. i also do alot of moddeling my self, my Pride and joy of modeling carrer is my M4 Sehrman which i customised taking parts left over from my M1A2 model, it has a 120mm gun instead of the 75mm, has a wider track, track Guards and Tusk reactive plates

 

The camera in an F-6 faces downward through a round port in the bottom of the fuselage.

 

thanks for all the info, i found a model shop here in darwin and asked for an F-6 conversion kit which they had, after paying i went to the closes post shop which is on the other side of town and sent it to him
