Erik, those nav lights are very good, and furthermore true to scale. Just how did you manage to get the clear plastic so translucent after all that sanding? My previous experiences using sanding files over clear […]

The panel on these eduard 109’s need to be glued to the left hand fuselage, and so some test-fitting and a bit of glueing has taken place

Seems OK

Having learned something from another eduard 1 […]

George – those handles are really small – but really looks great if you are able to install them without a chaos of glue. As I wrote, place this particular one in the panel, AFTER putting some cyano there, and […]

First – thanx for the comments and kind words! Now, I think that if you have seen some of my other Bf 109’s you will know that I like to see glass at the wingtips. Here we go..

To make the navigation lig […]

Thanks George@gblair I am enjoying this one despite the issues. I will have the wing together tomorrow morning!

Thanks very much for your insight and detailed explanation. I’m going to be doing this kit in Marseille’s markings soon and will defiantly “steal” a lot of these tips. Cheers, Tom

With the major assembly done, painting has commenced. To that end I built a paintbooth out of some roofing boards and an old kitchen fan. Did wonders to reduce the dust in the paint!

Some light masking […]

Thanx Louis – doin’ my best 🙂

Even though comments are welcome, it is OK to sit back and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to the 109 of the future..

I had one that had a similar problem with wing edges. I decided to mate the wings at the thin trailing edge and then deal with the large step on the forward edge of the wings. I used a coarse sanding stick to […]

Following your work here also David. Unlike most fellas here I don’t have a crush for this version but want to see one built

Thank you gentlemen for all your kind words – here are some photos of preliminary construction of the cockpit parts primed ( Mr Surfacer 1500) – and the fit is very good. (XF-9 Hull Red for the seat

the only […]

Hi Louis!
Thanks for the feedback my friend. Let me tell you a secret, that “striped” motltling, is deceivingly easy. I had to redo my first try at it, something i don’t recall doing before in past mottl […]

Pedro my friend,
I was just thinking about this build a few days ago…………..then you posted an update and answered my questions. Your Gustav looks fantastic !!! The engine looks as if you could start it […]

You my friend are a 109 building machine !!!!

I especially enjoy reading these 109 articles. A person can tell by how you post your pictures and explanations that all of your 109 models are labors of love. […]

And with the fuselage / wing assembled it is nearly time to close the cockpit before painting. Just e few peeks of the result before adding windscreen etc.

With the stick just a tiny bit off-center the […]

So this is the bit that George@gblair was thinking about.. this bit where what ever you try, you are left with a problem… and the issue becomes which problem are you prepared to live with.
O.K. so first issue […]

Thank you for the feedback Erik and George! The best part of this kit is the quality of the engine, wich anyone can superdetail with some ability and stretch sprue. Problem is once you do that you cannot […]

Very impressive, Pedro. The paint job is right on! It looks like you could get some tiny mechanics to take care of the engine and then fly it off the workbench. Very nice.

Thanx for the update – really comin’ along nicely. Well done!
