1/48 FUJIMI MESSERSCHMITT Bf 109G-6 "Mullepux" 48002 w/EXTRAS FRANZ STIGLER

Description: I AM BACK, selling more of my collection!! ๐Ÿ˜€ Here is Fujimi's fine kit of the Bf 109 G-6. This kit includes decals for the aircraft flown by the ace, Franz Stigler. If you are not aware of the extraordinary incident involving him and a damaged B-17, see below. From Wiki:On 20 December 1943, Stigler met a B-17 bomber nicknamed Ye Olde Pub and its American pilot Charles "Charlie" Brown for the first time. Stigler had shot down two B-17s earlier that day and he soon caught up to a wounded B-17 flown by Brown. Lining up to finish the bomber and shoot it down, he noticed the tail gunner never moved the guns. Upon further inspection of the airplane, he saw through large holes in the fuselage a frantic crew trying to save the lives of their fellow airmen, and decided not to fire.Stigler is quoted as saying "and for me it would have been the same as shooting at a parachute", in reference to a statement by his commander and mentor Gustav Rรถdel; "If I hear of one of you shooting a man in a parachute, I'll shoot you myself!". Stigler motioned to Brown to land his airplane in neutral Sweden because of the extensive damage. However, Brown didn't understand and decided to keep flying towards England. Stigler escorted the B-17 and its crew to the North Sea coast, protecting it from German anti-aircraft gunners (who recognized the silhouette of his Bf 109 and held fire). Once they were over water, Stigler saluted Brown, then left to return to base.AftermathStigler never spoke of the incident as he could have been court-martialed and executed. Stigler moved to Canada in 1953 and became a successful businessman. Brown told his commanding officers, who chose to keep the incident secret. Years later, in 1990, Brown searched for the German pilot who let them live that day, and eventually the two pilots, along with the Pub crew, met face to face, half a century later.Between 1990 and 2008, Brown and Stigler became close friends and remained so until their deaths within several months of each other in 2008.Parts are still sealed in the bags. All kits listed are as you see in the pics. Some kits have after-market accessories and I'll let you know what they are. PLEASE contact me with any questions. Some are still in the sealed bags, others have been opened for inspection, maybe a test fit, things like that.

MY BACK HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I JUST DON'T GET AROUND AS WELL AS I USED TO. Gotta do something about this! Too "young" to feel this way!๐Ÿ˜ฅ **If you live in the Denton area, please feel free to arrange local pick up**
