Both a blessing and a curse for the Germans. It meant most of their weapons systems were the best in the world. But it also meant they could never make enough of them.

—the other curse was, they couldn’t maintain what they built

Russians had the best tanks in cost vs ability to kill German armor.
Part of the problem was quality vs cost and QUANTITY
Part of the problem is Hitler was an idiot on military matters. They had a jet at the start of t5he war and Hitler chose to make it a tactical bomber like the Stuka instead of an interceptor like the F - 16 (which is still in use today)

That’s awesome. Where do you store/display these when finished?

Very nice!
I've always found confusing the variety squadron insignia on their aircraft. Interesting, but confusing

I have some others in my stash, I know I have at least one E and I believe two Ks. Just chose the G on a whim.

The E2 was the first to have the nose cannon. Not sure they ever used them on ground targets though.

Yeah I always was privy to the North African campaign plain desert camo.

I tirrned my son’s bedroom into my model room. That’s where I build and display them. I’ve already laid out the next one. I’ll start it Sunday after church.

What dick would down vote this?

I always look forward to seeing pics of your work.

Great job as always.
For everyone else that showed their models, kudos and nice job also.
Hans-Joachim Marseille actually preferred the F version of the BF109 and the G model got him killed if I remember correctly.

There were a few guys who preferred the maneuverability of the F model

What type of tracks does that have?

It has individual track shoes. If you look close to the far right side of the picture, that’s the package of track shoes. I looked at the instructions for a moment and it appears that instead of being cemented together they snap end to end to make the tracks.
