hopkp Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Looks like they've kept the same idiotic kinked joint on the underside of the wing at the rear? I had hoped that this might have been changed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 More pics Source: http://www.detailscaleview.com/2016/01/eduard-stand-on-spielwarenmesse-2016.html Nevertheless, the most valuable was the possibility to see sprues for the redesigned Bf 109G. Yes, those parts would be featured in the new Profipack. Model was completely overhauled, and almost all parts were adjusted or remade Fuselage now has a bit more visible connections between sections. It would be interesting to see professionals' reaction on such feature. Wings dimensions have also changed, so now those should be more up to scale. Those are test-shots, so we can expect even better quality in the commercial release. Inside there would also be some changes. Cockpit and canopy were changed in order to be more realistic. Of course, Brassins would also be available, but those will be completely new sets. I have to say that first edition of this kit will be a typical Profipack G-6 version, and afterwards there will be other versions of the aircraft. I hope that new model will be much better than the old kit. And here I present several photos of the assembled old plastic. Note that famous wing root bulb would also be removed in the new design.

Ali62 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well I am sure most of the BIG errors are now corrected and I have to applaud Eduard for swallowing hard and redoing this kit, but they know that a good kit and family of the 109's will always make money. From the markings supplied in this first release I will need three kits alone, options 1, 2 and 4 as shown on the link. Roll on April, real pressure on the wallets these days with all the great new kits, and accessories. Ali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICMF Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It is, however, very possible that questions will be asked concerning the possible exchange of the old kit for the new one, weather for the entire kit or certain components. We will not be offering any such exchange. Kit No.82111 Bf 109G-6 Late Version in no way corrects or replaces anything in the original kit, No. 8268 Bf 109G-6. So, if you have one of the original releases (which was so inaccurate that Eduard completely re-tooled all the major components), you're stuck with it.

Ali62 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So, if you have one of the original releases (which was so inaccurate that Eduard completely re-tooled all the major components), you're stuck with it. Yes that would be the case but it is no different to any other kit that you purchase from any other manufacturer. Other than maybe a small company, like I had when I had the Alley Cat range, there was two or three times that totally inaccurate parts or sub-assemblies were offered to people that had purchased the kits prior to the error being noticed. There is no other way Eduard could handle the situation, I can see why folk get frustrated, but no other manufacturer has or ever will hand out new and replacement parts or full kits, for errors, and let us be honest there are a lot of kits old and new that are very bad, and totally inaccurate or sometimes even worse than inaccurate, in that they are almost unbuildable, but no refunds or replacements get offered. At least Eduard has done something and have admitted their error, after all it is only a plastic model and no lives have been put at risk or anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard has in the past offered an exchange scheme when they've retooled a kit (e.g. the 1/72 Mig-15 just after it was released) I don't see how this is any different.

Mike Esposito Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I wonder if Eduard could be tempted to do the Avia S.199. It would go very nicely with the Israeli Spitfire... Just bought the Academy kit on ebay. Would love to see that. Edited March 4, 2016 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 So, if you have one of the original releases (which was so inaccurate that Eduard completely re-tooled all the major components), you're stuck with it. well, yes, but, then that's what forums like this are for.... I knew the kit was out, looked to see what the opinions on this were, (assuming it would be like their Spitfire) found the 109 buffs were going nuts, started a thread here mentioning this http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234961380-new-eduard-148-bf-109g-warning/ And so avoided purchasing a kit that would have been a major disappointment for me. I'm with Mike, a new Avis S.199 would be very welcome as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ProfiPACK boxing which will be adorned by this artwork, will focus on the „late series“ of the G-6, cat. No. 82111, released April 1st, 2016. The painter of this boxart is not a secret, but has not yet been introduced to you on this site. And with that, let ...us now turn this into a small competition. The one of you who will be the very first to write a comment on this post, with the full name of author of this artwork, will win the new Bf 109G-6 kit (it will be sent during first week of April).

ABeck Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 On sprue H part 14 we only see the early style main landing gear leg used on Fs and early Gs (and a very small batch of early G-6s). There is no complete view of sprue H. So the necessary late style leg is found somewhere else ? Another question will be the correct span of the wings. Final judgment over this only when we have the real plastic in hands. Cheers Andreas Beck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So, if you have one of the original releases (which was so inaccurate that Eduard completely re-tooled all the major components), you're stuck with it.They are though offering you a discount of 15% in the Eduard Store if you have the earlier kit; http://www.eduard.com/gustav2014/ To get a discount on your future purchase at Eduard Store, regarding the Bf 109G scale kits from 2014, please send us proof of your purchase in form of snipped off corner of the original instruction sheet from scale kits 8268 or R0009, or a barcode from Bf 109G Overtrees box released in 2014 and 2015.

ICMF Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Yes, they are. You know what would be even better, though? If they let you pay the FULL Czech retail price, rather than 15% off their EU or Global retail price. Because they charge Brits about 50% more than customers in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland or Hungary. Price for customers in the Central Europe: £19.93 - 15% = £16.94 Price for customers in the rest of Europe: £29.88 - 15% = £25.40 Price for customers in the rest of the World: £34.98 - 15% = £29.73 You can see the price differences for yourself by tweaking the URL for any product. If they're displaying a US or Euro currency price, the URL wil have ?cur= inserted in it somewhere (usually the end). This modifies the currency displayed, and the number determines that currency: 1 (cur=1) displays the price in Euros; 2 (cur=2) displays the US dollar price. The default for the Czech price seems to be 0 (cur=0), but it appears that any number *other* than 1 or 2 will also default back to the Czech price. You can also change the price displayed by changing your location in your account information. Change your address to Slovakia or Poland or the CzR and it will display the Czech price; change it to the UK, Germany, Spain or the like and you'll see the price they charge in Euros; change it to the US, or Australia, or Japan and you'll get the US dollar price. http://www.eduard.com/store/en/eduard/plastic-kits/profipack/aircraft/1-48/bf-109g-6-late-series-1-48.html?cur=0 http://www.eduard.com/store/en/eduard/plastic-kits/profipack/aircraft/1-48/bf-109g-6-late-series-1-48.html?cur=1 http://www.eduard.com/store/en/eduard/plastic-kits/profipack/aircraft/1-48/bf-109g-6-late-series-1-48.html?cur=2 Edited April 4, 2016 by ICMF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
