Eduard's new Bf 109 4 in 1/72...Three of them!
109 fan replied to 109 fan's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thank you for the kind words! Georgeusa, the first Eduard 109 I built was an F-2 in the standard Luftwaffe camo. IMG_9666 by Barry Numerick, on Flickr I'm always looking to something unusual for the next 109. In fact I've got two more on the table now, a G-14 in late war RAFwaffe camo and another NMF bird; this time a whiffer. -

I used at least four different decl sheets, Ivan. There are two sheets dedicated to this aircraft but neither is completely accurate. I used H-Models, Model Maker, an AZ kit decal sheet and a Barracudacals sheet that provided the "11", This was noticeably whiter than the bomb on the original aircraft. Incidentally the bomb shows up on two sheets, but neither is good. I used one from H-Models and dirtied it up with oil paints. -

Thank you for the compliments, gentlemen! Duncan, I love this kid, as all of the Eduard 1/72 109s. Everything used to modify on the Fine Molds kits, positionable flaps, slats, an excellent cockpit, and most of all - rivets (!), is already done. the shape is very good and there are very few pitfalls along the way. -
Well, they're done. They fought me every inch of the final phase, but it was worth it. Now on to two more; a whiffer and another RAFwaffe late model G-6 using the tall tail included in the kit but intended for later boxings.

Thank you all for the compliments! I finished the last of the three 109s today. They did not go down without a fight. Here's a quick group shot. More in the Ready for Inspection section soon. IMG_0798 by Barry Numerick, on Flickr -

Some random photos. The 1/72 Eduard 109 trio is so close to the finish line that they can smell it from here. Only antenna wires required on the RAF and Gollub birds. The NMF 109 is waiting for its canopy retaining wire while the canopy sets. This has been a great ride and I've enjoyed the new Eduard 109s incredibly. Next up, a G-2 and G-14.

I was able to get a few hours of bench time today and made progress on both the NMF and RAFwaffe 109s. The RAF bird got its first round of oil washes. One good thing about photographing and posting models "in progress" is that you see them through different eyes. Things that escape your attention on the bench become glaring on the screen. That's another reason I like weathering with oils; they can be adjusted for a few days after application. The natural metal 109 has gone through a bit of a transformation. I had intended for a rather whimsical interpretation but since the metal finish was going reasonably well, I decided on a more serious approach. This will now be a Messerschmitt company hack with generic German markings. After this trio is done I'll build an Eduard G-2 with the other scheme. Along with the change of scheme came some changes in attendant details such as RLM 76 ailerons, elevators and rudder. More on those and other details soon.
