That's EXACTLY why the Swiss 109G's were out of service within a couple years...

Response to Unloved for a reason....

The old D's and E's served for 10 years with few troubles; the G's they received as payment for blowing up Wilhelm Johnen's Bf 110G-4 which landed at Dubendorf were an absolute dog's breakfast, mechanically speaking. I hadn't heard of the NC 900 troubles prior to this thread (although to be fair, I hadn't really looked)- that makes for a very interesting data point when considering the late-war effectiveness of the Luftwaffe, and the impact of difficult to catch "passive" resistance measures such as intentionally screwing up vital mechanical components during the manufacturing process.

Beautifully done model, well done on a rarely-seen variant!

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
