trager messerschmidt
Looking forward to the Spit.
next up which seems out of order is the 109T. the T stands for trager or for the aircraft carrier Graf Zepplin. this model was based on the E series that's why I included it next. the wings were lengthened, the landing gear was beefed up, catapult bridles were added as well as a tail hook. the wings had additional flaps and slat to assist on short deck landings.
as the graf zep was never launched the air wing was dismantled and the T version was de navalized and used in Norway on the short fields in that theatre. I left the colors as is, but conflicting reports say the colors were more brownish, one report states it was monochromatic with the red band on the tail with national insignia in a circle, reminiscent of the prewar tails.
as far as builds go this was one of my favorites, as my heart is with naval aviation.
