Default RE: Project BF-109 E 4 1/5

If thats a SISt kit, I take all that back, because the SISt is a Fw 190A8 and he would have done a TON of work to get it to the A2/A3 its currently painted as.

Note the bulb like areial fitting onthe top of the fin. Only the A-0 thru early A-3's had that (late model A-3's and the A-4's moved to the mast located at the center of the top of the fin). The antenna is definiately the areial used on the A2/A3.

The plane shown can't be a real A2 because it doesn't have cooling slots, it has the cooling vents found only on the A5 and above. It also has the larger radio hatch of the A5 and above.

The seat headrest does look like A2/A3 though.

I'm almost positive its an Airworld kit, mostly due to the grey retracts and the fact I'm almost positive I saw this at Top Gun 2008 right arcross from the tent I was in.
