At last finished! These Special Hobby kits are two really fair offers to focus on the beautiful goal of presenting this record baby in 1/72nd scale!
Some extra work has been gained in the thin sanding of the wheel fairings, also the pulling of brake cables was a detailing step. But I am especially proud of the more or less flush sanding of the cockpit fairing!
I hope you like the pictures of these two V-planes!

Thank you mates! The Me 209 has been designed as record braking racers to win the world speed record- in which it succeeded. Despite being considered as a new Luftwaffen- fighter, the installation of military equipment slowed the Me 209 down to the level of the Bf 109, so these plans were finally abandoned. For propaganda purposes the V4 received a fictitious squadron identification - including a snake! - to give the impression that the Me 209 actually was the new fighter.
So no military use, but a world record held until 1989!

Gladly! Often the stories in which the aircraft are embedded are no less fascinating than their appearance

Beautiful twins Roland ! Super NMF, and the "propaganda - bogus"version looks great as well !
( Und im Unterschied zu mir hast Du die Bremszylinder auch an der richtigen Stelle angebracht ! 🙂 )

Thank you Hanno! Das mit den Bremszylindern war mir nicht bewusst 🙂
But your 209´s legs are really nice and slim, I couldn't do that!
Dafür hat die Deine echt schön schlanke Beine, das habe ich nicht so gut hinbekommen.
