    After a longer pause it was time for my dad to finally start another 109, using the new Eduard kit.
    Don´t know yet which scheme.

    kept the sprue part for now to protect the pitot tube
    with their previous 109s, Eduard always made only a stub...this time it has the correct size

    fuselage to wing joint was very good

    My dad is a 109 afficinado, has already built loads of 109s and has a lot of 109 books, but you still learn new thingsabout the aircraft. He isn´t a 100% rivet counter but usually tries to get to the original as close as possible.
    Saw an article by Czech modeller Jakub Vilingr today on iModeler Headlines about what needs to be corrected with Eduard´s new K-4.

    Bf 109 K-4 - few notices before build...
