The most notable Bf-109F-0/F-1 is Adolph Galland’s machine in which he delivered lobsters to a birthday party for Theo Osterkamp. It was one of the earliest Friedrichs. Besides the lobsters the one thing that was unique about this aircraft was the squared off intake for the aircraft. Not the same as the Emil type, but entirely different. I’ve never seen it available before in 1/32nd scale. Werner’s Wings has it in 1/48 but not 32^nd scale.

The Hasegawa 1/32nd scale Bf-109F is a very good kit. I’ve built a few of them. This easy conversion piece is a welcomed addition to the 109 line of accessories.

Contained in the usual resealable packaging is a single piece of light grey resin that is flawlessly cast on a single mounting block. Removal is simple as using a saw blade and carefully removing it. Then it is a drop fit for the engine air intake on the kit. No fuss, no muss.

These kits have been around long enough now for me to say it’s the best of its kind in this scale. Since I’ve covered the basics of its construction in a previous review for this site, I’ll focus on details specific to this release. The primary feature of this kit is the inclusion of M-10 rocket or “Bazooka”, tubes. A separate runner of parts contains the tubes and the two types of mounting hardware. Also included are templates to locate the mounting holes on the wings. The quality of these parts is on par with the rest of the kit.

Three different marking options are included on the decal sheet as follows:
