1/48 MPM Diorama of 

Messerschmitt Bf-109 T2

This 1/48 Bf 109 T2 is from Mpm Expert series with resin engine and some figures.  You have a choice to build a T1 or T2.  In short info about of the Bf 109 T, was since 1937 developed for service on the sole German aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin. Version T had its origin in Bf 109 E. In order to shorten take-off and landing distance, the span of the wing was extended from 9,87m to 11.08m.  The aircraft is driven by Daimler Benz N engine, which was currently built for Bf 109 E7.  Bf-109 T1 was destined for service on aircraft carrier ( this never occurred ) for this purpose it was fitted out with the rope of the catapult and tailhook. T2 was destined for operations from land bases.  This would possibly include text about any resin or photo etched items used to create your kit, aftermarket decals used, paints used, things you liked or disliked about the kit.  Things used to weather your model.  You can also include history about the full sized plane if you want.

I built the Bf 109 T2 flown by Oblt. Herbert Christmann,11./ JG 11. Norway, Lister base summer 1944. The model comes with fixed slats and flaps and has no landing gear bay. I reproduced gear bay from styrene sheet. I added some photo etch parts left from other Bf 109s. I planned as diorama with Tamiya's cutie Kubelwagen and it's figures. I use a mechanic and tools from Eduard WW2 luftwaffe crew. Fuel drums from SOL.

Finally it looks good to me. ( by the way it took third place at our competition and meeting in category small diorama )
