Bf109F-2/U ‘Special’ flown by Adolf Galland Aces GB

User Name : Wayne Little
Category : Non Competing Judge
Entry : Adolf Galland’s Messerschmitt Bf109F-2/U or maybe F-6/U ? – Special Cannon Armed Version
Kit : Hasegawa 1/32

This recently released ‘Special Version’ represents one of a series of modified versions of the Bf109F-2 as flown by Adolf Galland. Various sources are identifying this aircraft as W.Nr.6750, in one photo the Werk Nummer can clearly be seen, and close examination shows it to be either 6750 or 5750, both Werk Nummers are included on the decal sheet.

This particular aircraft had MGFF 20 Cannons installed in the wings to increase the firepower, a further 2 or more aircraft were modified to include 2 x MG 131, 13mm Machine Guns replacing the MG17, 7.92mm machine guns in the upper cowl, these being identified by the addition of bulges on the cowling to accommodate the larger weapons.

These ‘Specials’ have been identified as F-2/U and F-6/U aircraft, the W.Nr.6750 which comes up frequently indicates this to be a modified Bf109F-2 manufactured by WNF.

The painting of the plane doesn't seem to show wing cannons.

**Airframes** · 08-07-2011 12:34 PM

That's because it shows the one with the 13mm mgs in the engine cowling.
Nice choice Wayne, looking forward to this one, another masterpiece on the way methinks.

Terry is right, both options are in the kit, as shown below, I have chosen the cannon version to do first, both aircraft are practically identical in markings, so when I come to do the option with the cowl bulges I will do the other option not represented in the kit which has a variation in Kommodore markings and victory markings on the rudder as shown below....
