Bf 109E-4 (SpecialHobby 1/72)
Bf 109E-4, new kit by Special Hobby in 1/72 scale.
Kit goes really well, the fit is good, but check the canopy/fuselage parts before gluing. Detail level is impressive. The only aftermarket I've used was metal barrels (Master) and exhausts (Rexx). But if you want to make canopy opened - kit parts are too thick unfortunately, so some vacu canopy should be used.
Model was painted with Gunze acrylics, and mostly all of the weathering was done using AMMO oilbrushers. For the washes as well.
I can recommend this kit to anybody interested in 1/72 scale.
Thanks for watching!
Mate that looks great!. Beautiful work. Is this the one they did in collaboration with Eduard? I want one!
@jark Thanks Jorge! Yes, this is the kit made in cooperation with Eduard. It's very similar to their 109E in 1/48 and 1/32 scale.
Well, in that case, I can't wait to get my hands on one!... After checking scalemates, it seems Eduard is also working on a 109 in 1/72 to be released this year? Exciting news!
They will release exactly this kit under their own brand.
I see...maybe with a fixed canopy? they are also releasing a 109G (F and later K) versions.
AFAIK, 109K is announced in 1/48 scale.
Excellent work, thought it was of a larger scale.
Thanks, Robert!
Looks very nice, Dmitry.
Paint and weathering makes it look very realistic.
Especially in this scale.
Thank you, John!
Once again you have built an absolute gem. Very nice work Dmitry!
Thank you, Erik!
An amazing model, Dmitry!
I am so happy to see excellent 1/72 kits, excellently built!
Thanks Spiros!
It is a great looking 1:72 build! I have seen a lot of good reviews of this little kit, and the early 109 look awesome. Your build definitely inspires me to build one.
Thank you, Csaba!
Nice work, Dmitry. 109s are tiny in 1/72 and difficult to model well. You succeeded with yours.
Thank you, John!
Wow. Fantastic job, sir. Liked.
Thanks Doug!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Jeremy!
That is a beauty! I'm going to have to add one of these to my 109 project.
Thank you Greg!
Great looking 109 Dmitry!
Thank you Dale!
Brilliant work on this little gem, Dmitry, I'm surprised that it needed so much after market goodies though. Definitely liked.
Thank you, George!
Dmitry, a very realistic look, nicely painted, and I would have never guessed it was 1/72 scale !
Many thanks, Terry!
Just Beautiful !
