Does anyone know if you can get either a kit or decals of the Finnish post war Bf-109 racers ( e.g. Below) in 1/48?

This was influenced by some drawings from this page.  The engines and main undercarriage are off a Me 410 and the tailplane is off a Zero.

Random idea:  Chinese Nationalist Bf-109 - probably E model or earlier.

I believe the gear was fixed down as it was a testbed only and changing the design to incorporate this gear would have badly disrupted production.

According to what I found, this wasn't Bf 109V-3, but Bf 109V-31, a serial F-2 equipped with wide track undercarriage and with a retractable belly radiator, as a test-bed for Me-309

That's what I understood too.

You can actually get a kit of this in 1/72:

Speaking of odd Bf109s, try the V48 with V tail:



And yes, one can get kits and/or conversions for this variant.

I think you are out of luck Greg. I reviewed Scalemates and I saw every model/conversion but the H.

What if Bf 109 received Jumo 213, like Fw190?

Would you increase tail fin area? Would you lengthen wings?

Lower right one looks very similar to the proposed Me109TL that Planet produced a resin kit of.
