Kermit Weeks Hangar - Розваги
Kudos to you Mr. Weeks for keeping Don on board and allowing him to finish his pride and joy. Pretty cool!
Exciting, would be great to see another one of these restored into flying condition. Thanks for putting so much effort into this, wishing you all the best with this project!
Hey! it's my favorite aviation channel!
didnt expect to see you here bismarck
Two great recent channel finds, first Bismarck's and now Mr. Week's Hangar. This video almost made me go out and buy a model to build. I'm a kid all over again!
Of course one could find *you* around here! :D
yes , another "killing machine" brought back to life...well then , right you are
Mr weeks, if you read this i have to say your my hero ,, preserving planes like this is not easy or cheap and i thank you
^^^^^ what he said!
@@trouble67551573 Same here, I third that!!!
Highly doubt it is a actual real WW2 plane.
Potentially airworthy B-29 "Fertile Myrtle" left to rot beyond repair.
@@Crashed131963 Well hell, just back it on off into the land fill. Some people. 🤦♂️
The more 109s in flying condition, the better.
I don't think that's a phrase that would have been uttered very much in the 40s, outside of the luftwaffe course.😣
@@ronaldtartaglia4459 But throughout WW2 Germany built nearly as much 109s as did the Soviets with the IL-2
Thats what Goring said
Fire Power701 counting all models the 109 is the most built fighter in history. Plus a 109 is more complex than a il2 so it’s impressive that a half dead industry could spit out so many of them.
Yeah! And to fulfill their fate of conquering American airspace! :P
It's wonderful to see a real enthusiast getting the help and support he needs. Well done Kermit and Fantasy of Flight!
Salt of the earth Mr. Weeks to keep Mr. Bradshaw involved is absolutely top notch. Love to see the passion in people.
To let this gentleman continue to work on this 109 that is so beautiful!
stephen john gray go troll someone else... keyboard warrior!
This brings tears to my eyes. I’ve been a scale model builder my whole life and a licensed aircraft mechanic for 20 years. This would be s dream for me. The Bf109 is one of my favorite aircraft. A tiny airplane with s huge engine stuffed in it. I applaud this gentleman for taking on this task! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I live in Saskatoon where this restoration is taking place. A guy I know is doing metal work for Don on this, and he texted me this week that I can go meet Don and see the project day after tomorrow... SO stoked!!
This is exactly what 12 year old me dreamed adult life would be like!
Well done and thanks for sharing with us all!!
Kermit you are doing great things for our History and Aircraft.
This warms my heart Immensely. I wish my Opa was around still so that he could be a part of these teams of experts on Messerschmitt restoration. He worked at the Messerschmitt factory near konigsbrunn.
First time i have seen a box with a l09 inside that did not have airfix on it,ace
thought the same bro 😁 even if i like Italeri model kits the most 😜
Dave having built my first one since being a kid
A 109 and spitfire 'a present from my eldest daughter all i can say is airfix quality is not what it was.
@@mickd6942 that is sad to hear. I knew a girl whos father was an injection moulding specialist there .They are under new management I understand.
Not enough model glue in the world to be build that beauty. You're going to need a bigger airbrush compressor. LOL
BF 109 kit, difficulty : expert level (paint not included)
5 years ago I took my grandsons all over Florida we went to so many different places All the big major places in Florida we went to ..but we took the grand kids to fantasy of flight that was our very 1st place after visiting family and then we started the trip and the kids out of Every place we went to in Florida they wanted to go right back to fancy of flight one more time before they all went home so we did and both times they got to meet Kermit he was so awesome with the kids and so Passionate that the very next year we went back there 3 days in a row ..but know we have couple more green kids and hopefully will be able to bring them back to see Kermit and the fantasy of flight museum the best museum in the world..we love the history
As a young boy in the 60s in Germany i often cycled along a street beside a scrapyard where you could see a lot of parts or engines of crashed fighters like Bf 109s and american bombers awayting to be melted down. At that time, these parts were not expensive to get.
Dr. Wilfried Hitzler should have kept the to sell later oh well the past is the past and it’s not like most people would have realized the value of old war junk
@@tincannavy3188
My old dad himself a WW2 veteran, was a crane driver and sometimes he would be working at Bankstown Air Field in Sydney's western suburbs picking up DC3's with the crane and dropping them to smash them up for scrap.
He built a caravan that had a DC3 internal flat door on it and we had two 24" wide drop tanks in the backyard.
One of the drop tanks was compete and hanging from a tree and we used it as a swing. The over one dad cut the top off to make a canoe.
Wish I still had the two drop tanks, I could have built a Salt Lake Racer.
@@tincannavy3188 Now, where the scrapyard was is a very nice park and nothing reminds you of my story. 1965 you would have been able to get a DB 605 for 50 Deutsch Marks there, hahahaa
@@dr.wilfriedhitzler1885 The 1950s was a very busy time for scrap metal merchants in Europe and in the South Pacific.
drop the z from your last name.
1:1 scale kit. Old tooling. Expert assembly skills and extensive scratch building required. Go Kermy! Edit - On closer examination, Id say an OOB build will be good enough!
"Level 50's assembly skills required. Not recommended for children under 30"
Most unboxing channels: Toys are cool to unbox
Kermit Weeks Hangar: *HOLD MY BEER*
First i figured this was a unboxing of a really nice RC model plane.
@Jon Doe Ik, I stumbled upon this channel
Hold My Naked In Jamaica....Rum
“Horrendously expensive but that’s where Mr. Weeks comes in” haha! I love that. Two people who love aviation doing whatever it takes for the legacy of these aircraft to live on. Great work.
I live about 40 miles from the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton Ohio, and have visited and taken all my children there several times over the years. Now that I'm getting up in years I hope to be able to visit Fantasy of fight at least once before I hopefully get my own wings. Mr. Weeks, kuddos to you and all that you have done to keep aviation history alive.
I worked at Airframe Assemblies on the Isle of Wight. 2012 . We had rear fuse plugs to make up the rear fuse section. This comes in two half’s riveted together to make one section all the sections are put together and then the stringer are slid inside. A great production process for the time.
Holy crap a bf109 G6 🙏🏻 That must be a very valuable box!
Priceless, since only a couple actually exists!
Even more priceless, a Bf109 K.
Kermit, thanks for sharing your world with us aviation buffs.
Please keep it up.
My dad was a B24 tailgunner. One of the last things he was working on was a BF109 model. This inspires me to finish the model. A lot he didn't talk about.
Looking forward to follow up videos. This is very interesting to watch. The world is lucky to have people like you and Don Bradshaw to keep aviation history and these historic planes alive. Thanks and keep em flying!
Mr. Weeks you are truly an admirable human being. To help him accomplish his BF-109G dream. To bad they couldn't clone you and your generosity. Thanks for sharing his dream with us.
You're so kind! Thank you.
Taking my Powerplant exam in 4 days. Airframe a month after that. Going to learn as much as I can wherever I work in hopes of being lucky enough to work on restoring such a cool part of history. Must be such a satisfying career.
I absolutely love what Kermit does for a passion. It's fascinating to hear the knowledge and expertise of the people he surrounds himself with as they work...
Thanks again for including us in all these wonderful videos, the 109 will be awesome like all your projects. You passion in aviation is infectious. Thanks Kermit
Your contribution to aviation is priceless, thank you very much Kermit!!!!
That was so nice you offered him to stay involved with the project.win win ..looking forward to the fist flight
WOW THANKYOU VERY MUCH Kermit w..
Most of us get excited about opening the little boxes that Amazon delivers to the door. Kermit Weeks takes that to a whole new level with his little boxes! ;) And while most normal people might be bored to tears with a video like this, for us airplane/history enthusiasts it is pretty fascinating to see the parts and hear a little of the history and reason for the design, like on that belly pan! Really, really cool! And in the end, that is part of the treasure of a restoration like this. Not only preserving the airplane, but also it's history! Thanks for sharing Kermit! As if you don't have enough projects, I know that someday we will all be looking at one of the finest Bf-109G restorations in existence! :)
Kermit, Thanks so much for all you do!
The best type of unboxing videos.
Mr Weeks, thank you for your great efforts and your wonderful personality!
Kermit its truly amazing what passion can do to the human spirit. Beautiful to see a true labor of love. 👍🏽
What an exciting project and one that I have personally contributed to as well having supplied a genuine Bf.109 instrument for it some years ago,the instrument appeared in a batch of modern ones back in the early sixties and I kept it until the right moment .
The skills involved in the panel work on this are something else,pure dedication and a lifelong passion for such a specialist subject,one day it will have all come together and what a beautiful machine this will be.
Marvellous once again Kermit! Really looking forward to seeing you get this one in the air once more! Mr.Bradshaw certainly has put alot of love in to it for you!
I am sure it will all come together just like the family axe. Several new handles and a couple of heads later and there will be another nice newly restored aircraft sitting in Kermit's hanger. Great work chaps.
When I first saw the title, I thought you were unboxing a *VERY VERY BIG* RC Bf-109! LOL! Who dreamed up the packing? Very well done. Mr. Kermit, sir, you have a lot of history in your hangar. I love the old WWII aircraft. I'm a WWII buff with a particular intetest in the air war. As a youngster, my mother was friends with a Luftwaffe pilot. Nce guy. A broad shouldered, strappng, blond, square jawed Aryan man. Worked for a Ford dealership sellng cars. Too bad he did not cntinued as a pilot.
If it's possible, can you have someone closely document the restoration of the engine? There's almost nothing on the web that documents how the engine was put together and that would be awesome to see!
Bf109G14 is a channel but he is not showing anything
FiveCentsPlease m
@@FiveCentsPlease That's a bit of tragedy, there were many unique and ingenious features that went into these engines which would be awesome to see.
The commitment to this project is inspiring.
Simply Awesome and the Passion that goes into these projects is amazing!!
Hat off to Kermit and all the people behind the scenes!!
masskilla469 Agreed! I really enjoyed seeing Kermit put one and one together and realizes this guy has the patience and passion just doesn’t have the money. In comes Kermit! The end result.....we get to enjoy a project and see another one fly!
Thanks for backing this project! I can't wait to see and hear it fly!
The ultimate unboxing! Good luck with the project. Hope to see it flying from your field soon.
Kermie you're such a good human being, your taste for excellence is suppurb... Looking forward to seeing this 109 grace the skies again.
Just saw the recent video showing this plane almost completely assembled. Great job
"...you have the passion, the interest, the knowledge..." LOVE IT
I am looking forward to see it completed, thank you for bringing back a part of history.
It will look great next to the 108.
Another great project from the best "Plane Saver" Kermit Weeks.
Thank you Mr. Weeks, I hope I live long enough to see this one fly.
I hope that you live longer than that dear Sir !
Wunderbar! Another great plane! Can't wait to see this one in the air.
Wow..... Absolutely amazing...... The amount of passion. Love it......
We all need someone like this guy in our lives, who knows where all of the pieces go.
I cannot wait to see this in the air. Excellent project.
Amazing video as usual Kermit, keep em coming! Look forward to seeing this one fly as well!
thank you for keeping the history of these planes alive.
Amazing. Kermit sir you are doing huge things for aviation history. Thank you to you and all your crew.
Simply wonderful and amazing. I love to see these aircraft preserved and get a glimpse into the manufacturing techniques involved.
The dedication and pasion is clear for all to see,
Even with all the parts it's a monumental undertaking
Hi, I saw a Casa in Midland, Texas and I was impressed by how relatively tiny this formidable aircraft was.
Beautiful and exiting to see how a WWII 2 Aircraft comes back to life and if my late father was still alive he would tell you many stories of the Messerschmidt ME109 and how it screamed when it cam in for an a air attack
Most AMAZING youtube "UNBOXING" ever!!!! Cant wait to see it FLY!! THX!!!
These guys who restore these planes are a special breed
I cannot thank them enough
Mr. Weeks it's easy to see why you're successful, recognizing the right person for any task, looking forward to seeing wheels up on this project. Jeff
Be great to see another piece of history coming alive.
That is the coolest model kit unboxing I’ve ever seen! Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍🏻🇦🇺
These aircraft has such a tremendous impact on how the world was shaped. I hope to see all examples like this flying one day.
Thank you for bringing her back to life 🦅🇺🇸🦅
Love to see her flying
So very awesome to see these videos. It's great to see the importance of these relationships between collectors. Thanks for the post !
imagining the pace while bullets are flying threats getting closer. A machinist measure getting slammed together to send to death. I remember being on orders that do not stop, flying with fuel leaks, or even a cracked trunnion, caved strut. no one thinks of the beatings to see what precision remained. they just see beautiful.
Awesome project, looking forward to seeing it fly.
Cool that’s he’s staying on board. He clearly has expert knowledge. I hope it all works out and the dream is fulfilled.
Unboxing videos don't get much more exclusive than this.
My dad's B-24 was shot down over Gyor, Hungary, by
Col. Aladar de Heppes in his BF-109-G6/V3+72. His last kill of the war. Allowed the B-24 crew to bailout before shooting it down.
@stephen john gray
This is a well known story. The German pilot escorted the badly damaged Fortress over the English Channel before returning to his base. After the war the pilot emigrated to Canada and his story was somehow published - I can´t remember how and where. But that reached the American pilot of the Fortress. He came into touch with the German and both became dear friends. Both died just some years ago. Very touching story.
@@anonymusum There is a book written about it "A Higher Call" which is a very good read :-)

It seems the German pilots were well known for being honorable. It seems that is a trait almost unique to the German pilots, as I can’t find any stories like that about other nations pilots, but if anyone does know a story about an American or other nations pilot doing something similar please share
Fantastic project. Can't wait for the video series!
Inspirational video, thank you for keeping the history of this airplane alive.
This channel got me interested in the Messerschmitt 109 and now its one of my favorite planes!!! I cant wait until you get this one and the 108 done!!!!!
Wow.... I can't imagine where one would begin...My head exploded just thinking about it.
i love these vidios thanks kermit,the best unboxing ive seen
i would never expect a bf109 being restored in Saskatchewan! i live only an hour away from where this is being built
Tyler... Don is showing the project this weekend (May 25-26) at the Sask Aviation museum learning weekend.
Wow, a Bf-109 would be incredible. There are very, very few left. And it played a huge part in WWII aviation.
When I was six in 1944 I would remember saying the words messerschmitt and lightning !!
wow
"Messerschmitt and Lightning, very very frightening, ooh, Galileo Galileo peekaboo...."
"...horrendously expensive, that's where Mr Weeks comes in..." Nice to be appreciated!
And he's being paid a day rate as agreed with Kermit. Wonderful man!!!
Best unboxing video ever. I won't lie, that title caught me WAAAYYY off guard. May the winds be in your favor for this beast
absolutely in awe.
Great to see , looking forward to its progress!
So happy to see another 109 getting ready to fly.
Nice puzzle. Looking forward to see the project advancing in future show
....it's basically Christmas.....and you got a life size Lego kit to put together.....
just don't lose any pieces under the sofa.........
Amazing effort made to make this kit. Awesome 👏
Thanks for sharing Kermit.
That just blows me away all those little piles of parts. And your not even close to a airplane. Wonderful dreams And just think all you need is a few million more piles of little parts ha ha ha. I restored a few cars and antique bikes. Lots of hard work. Some took me 10-15 years to get done. I wish I had something like your airplane restoration business close to me in Florida. I would love to be involved working still.
Whilst us mortals get excited about unboxing tiny model 109's, Kermit unboxes war veteran full size 109's almost as a matter of routine. Holee kanolee. Hard to understand how a full ww2 fighter can fit in a small box like that, even the 2 seat RV7A slowbuild I built came in bigger crates and several of them, engine, canopy and wings??
The box hardly contained a full Bf-109...the restorer admitted he hadn't yet purchased the wings, and most of the engine was not in that box...the box contained probably, I'm guessing, less than 50% of the final aircraft....but god, yes, imagine what that box would have cost the insurance company if it had been "lost" in shipment...oh, and please correct me if I am wrong Mr Weeks!
So this is what Christmas is like at Fantasy of Flight! Fantastic array of special and beautifully made parts and pieces. Enjoyed the video as always!
Greatest unboxing on youtube ever.
Way too cool and interesting! Thank you for this.
I look forward to watching the
progress
Great video Kermit.
Amazing to see all the parts of this plane. It will be amazing to see this plane built up. Thanks for sharing. :D
The audio quality is much appreciated. It's great to hear their info exchange.
