Bf-109G-12 to fly soon

Thought this was newsworthy. I knew that there had been a two-seat HA.1112 Buchon utilized in the filming of "The Battle of Britain" (Robert Stabford Tuck and Adolf Galland actually took it up for a hop one afternoon), but was unaware of actual German built wartime variants...

She is stunning, Neil! This was covered in a thread here last week as well (a few threads down in the NewsHawks forum): http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?101134-The-Coolest-109-on-the-Block

Such a neat sounding engine. This being a post-WWII Volvo-built DB605, those who have seen/worked on the engine have commented that it is superior/more finely crafted than the original wartime DB605's they've worked with. Hoping for many happy landings with this one. Such a magnificent machine. Many more photos now published here: http://www.meiermotors.com/index.ph...esserschmitt-bf109-g-12?showall=1&limitstart=
