| Hobby Master 1/48 scale HA8752: Messerschmitt Bf 109G of 9./JG 3, Alfred Surau, Luftwaffe, Germany, September 1943. Production run of 750 models. Length 7.5 inches Wingspan 8.25 inches Ofw. Alfred Surau scored his first victory on February 28, 1943 while flying Bf-109G-6 "Yellow 6" over the Eastern Front. In mid 1943 JG. 3 "Udet" units returned to Germany to defend against Allied bomber attacks. Surau's first Western Front kill was a B-17 on September 3, 1943. In only 6 months Surau managed to increase his victory total to 41. He is one of the Luftwaffe's most effective but shortest lived aces because on October 14, 1943 he was shot down and died while destroying a B-17, his 45th victory. Designed to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war. |
