1/32 Scale ME109E-1 with Hispano Suiza Engine, Resin

In 1942, the Spanish government arranged a manufacturing  licence  with  Messerschmitt AG  to build the Bf 109G-2, although the  DB 605A  engines, propellers, instruments and weapons were to be supplied from Germany. This proved impossible as Germany was incapable of meeting its own needs let alone Spain's, and only 25 airframes (without their tails) and less than half the necessary drawings were actually delivered. [1]  Consequently,  Hispano Aviación  replaced the  DB 605A  engine with the 1,600 hp  HS 89-12Z  and the project was renamed  Bf 109J  by  Messerschmitt.   [2]  The HS 89-12Z engine performed a successful flight in a Bf-109E used as flying testbed, in Barcelona in 1944 (Wikipedia). This conversion kit contains all the necessary resin parts to convert an early model 1/32 scale BF 109E into this HS 89-12Z flying test bed. Eduard BF 109E is the recommended donor kit for this conversion. Decals for two versions included.
