Conclusion
Converting a model is always a difficult and time consuming task. But at the end you will have a model that is quite unique and original. I'm very happy to have a red Messerschmitt Bf 109 racer in my collection with its serious looking brother at his side. The V-13 and V-14 were, historically speaking, very important aircraft as they can be considered the first "Emils". Exactly those planes would dominate the skies two years later! References used

Hi again Chuck! After all, the good thing about that is that Armorama gets some publicity on other sites! Jean-Luc

But I know now! Recently I sent two copies to a guy named Floyd S. Werner Jr. He signed up here and asked for two resin sets. As he was new, I thought it was a nice welcome gift... it's a small world sometimes... Jean-Luc

Excellent review and work jean-Luc. The history of the aircraft was as fascinating as the build itself. You make casting resin sound so easy with your step by step instructions. One day i might have a go myself :-) . Thanks and well done. Andy (++)

Very impressive Jean-Luc! Totally out of my realm except for the info on Udet. Through and through very impressive! The characature head on the squatting image was Udets's self or should I say "elf" portrait.

I just want to bump this ... and I did a little sawing and test fitting and I think jean-Luc's set will fit the Hasegawa kit with a bit of sanding and filling. Not sure about the Werner's Wings edition (this is a bit smaller than J-L's original set) cheers Steffen
