A set for reworking a Hasegawa kit into the high-altitude Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-3 version in 1:32 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The G series branched into odd and even designations according to whether a machine had a pressurized cabin or not. The odd versions were the high-altitude ones, the even ones their ordinary counterparts. The G-3 version stood at the beginning of this logic and from then on the pairs ran through the whole production right up to the late machines. A modeler who builds an odd and an even version side by side shows on two models a principle that cannot be read off a photograph.
The castings of this variant are shaped for kits from the Hasegawa company. The difference from the version for another maker does not lie in the content but in where the parting lines run and how thick the wall of the part you cut into is. So choose according to what you have part-built at home, not according to the price. A badly chosen combination means hours of fitting and in the end a worse result as well.
A conversion of this kind rewards patience and punishes haste, because every step closes off access to the one before. Finish the inside of the cabin first, because once the conversion parts are glued in you can no longer get into it. Then make all the cuts into the fuselage and only at the end seat the resin. Wash the sanded surfaces before gluing so that no dust clings to them, and fill the joints once they are dry. If you are going to build the aircraft into a scene with ground crew, leave the cabin cover swung open, otherwise you will lose most of the detail the conversion is done for.
