This was a simpler project, but it got dragged out a few times. Because of the personal connection to this model, I think it caused me some stress I wasn't expecting. I just really wanted to make this build special, and do it as best I could. Well, I hope that you enjoy this, it's been a project I've been planning for a few years now and I still can't believe I finally got this one done.

Also a HUGE thank you to www.kitmasx.com for the Luftwaffe stencils, they really helped me finish this project.

Sad story, my Grampa brother was in the heavy cruiser RN Pola, he died

I had a great uncle that flew an il 2, a grandpa that flew a bf 109, and two American grandpas(married twice) that both died testing prototype planes. But the best part is I'm german and Jewish.

From what I could find online, Leutnant Heinz Demes had three aerial victories to his name with his third occurring less than 3 hours before he was KIA by being shot down by a Wellington bomber of No.37 Sqn.

Your video transmits a some kind of ambience that it's precisely what you're done here. The music companion was perfect. Thanks for your great and fine work. Cheers from Chile!

Hi. I find it inspiring that you built the same aircraft your uncle flew in WWII (Weiß 6). Something about his personal insignia (a Senzenreiter) which highly intrigued me and other than the Tamiya kit above, Eduard has the same decal, although in 1/72 IMO. I'm looking forward to receivng the same kit from eBay. Thanks for the great video 🥰

What can I say, Jared?? Other than that it, without any doubt, is one of your best models yet, the personal connection making it even more special. War is always tragic, whichever side you fight on. This is a great tribute to a Luftwaffe pilot who did his duty and no doubt fought with honour..

This is wonderful work. You are truly an artist. RIP your uncle. Only 25 when he died. So young.

This is one of the best videos I have watched about the Bf 109 and it was a great tribute to your uncle. I don't think many people understand some of the chivalrous acts of pilots that each side displayed toward one another. Yes, they were enemies and combatants and their job was to destroy one another. "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos tells the story of a Bf 109 pilot who accompanied a badly damaged B 17 bomber safely through enemy airspace to avoid being shot down by German artillery. Please keep posting your videos as they are a pleasure to watch and learn from.

An outstanding build of this kit.
I think your uncle would have been truly proud, and honored...

Beautiful build.I have recently finished building a 1/32 BF 110C as a representation of the aircraft piloted by my Grandfather during the Kanalkampf period.At that time he flew with ZG 26,unfortunatley,I have been unable to determine the exact aircraft he flew.

That was a pleasure to watch! Great subject! Keep 'em rollin', Jared. I think it's been 6 or 7 years, since I first subscribed. It still catches my eye, when I see a new video posted. 👍🏻
