About the Author
Paul Ooi Modelworks was as model building service in the Twin Cities from 2011 to 2018. I have since relocated to Northern Colorado and now only build for my own recreation.

Messerschmitt Bf 109-F2 “Yellow One” – Barbarossa Hunter
The Bf 109 needs no introduction. I have built this famous fighter in the forms of the Finnish Mersu (Gustav) and the Israeli Avia. What was really missing for me was to build a mottled German hunter that made the Bf 109 into the legend and much-feared adversary in WW2.…
