Yet another 109E – Airfix 1/48 Bf-109E-7 trop

This is Airfix's 1/48 BF-109E-4/7. It's a nice easy kit and fairly well detailed. (not as nice as Eduard's, but not as expensive, either!) The main issues were overly long landing gear legs, wrong canopy, prop could use replacing, and thin but [...]

Hi All! Here's my save of my very old Hasegawa BF-109. This kit is around for more than 30 (maybe 35???) years. I found it in my stash and as happened I wanted a quick and easy build. I had some very old aftermarked decals too so I thought it wa[...]

The appearance of the Gustav series of Messerschmitt’s Bf-109 was due to the ineptness of the Luftwaffe high command in developing an acceptable production successor to the aging design, and reflected the lack of long-range planning on the part [...]

Not my favorite WW2 plane, but for sure some of my best work as of lately. Build took suprisingly little time, about a week. Have a video to go with these photos of the installed micro motor spinning the prop, but don't know how or where to upl[...]

Another 109 to try my teeth on were yet another Eduard 1/48 kit. (the one in the background will be added later, as it was built a bit later, and more detail added) Starting with Eduards fine cockpit with the etch from the "Mersu" double kit. L[...]

I've been putting this kit off for a while until I felt calm enough to do the freehand mottling scheme required by these early Emils. I reckon she looks great next to the recent Battle of Britain Spitfire by Tamiya...reminds one just how small[...]
