That day, 17 Mustangs from 309th FS/31st FG set out over Central Bohemia. While their flight over Prague they surprised a group of German Bf 109 from KG(J)6 on a training flight. They shot down some of them. It is possible, that the day was in service also a machine you can build from our kit. Author of the box-art is Piotr Forkasiewicz. Cat. no. 82119. Quote Bf 109G-10 Mtt Regensburg 1/48 from NEW TOOLS! The kit will include completely new parts - fuselage, wing, fin, radiator, propeller as well as clear parts. The cowling/fuselage shape is a typical feature of the machines produced in Regensburg plant. In the photo-gallery, you can see an unique combination of the new wing‘s lower part with a glazed antenna base and the upper part with small bumps. V.P.

madcop Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) With Eduard, 1/48 could mean range from 1/42 to 1/50. Hope the Eduard "best research team ever" will have done their homework this time ! Really hope that this time they will have the exhausts scale ( 1/48) dimensions right ! Do not trust their propaganda . Never bought any 109 from Ed. Maybe this time….wait and see the plastic. From the pic above, looks like the exhaust has not changed , but it's me , maybe ….

Brettas Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 New Eduard G-10 images are on their Facebook page. Comparing the model images with photos of a G-10 Mtt. Reg, I think the company failed to properly reproduce the upper engine cowling, the MG 131 gutter and cover of the instrument panel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 New tooled fuselage, again overly high with too blunt spinner( taken over from earlier F/G releases) to compensate before mentioned, at the same time their Brassin spinner is more correct in size and shape... Tooled another fuselage with exactly the same dimensional problems found in earlier releases so there would be no difference between them...👎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this phot0 you can study that the mounting of the supercharger intake stays parallel to the airplane axis (top view). It has to because of the big supercharger housing ("snail") taken from the DB 603 engine. This was and is (seemingly) not understood by model companies. Apart from this still the wrong main landing gear legs. HTH Andreas Beck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from this still the wrong main landing gear legs. HTH Andreas Beck Eduard's common sprue with the landing gear legs are correct for F's, early G's, and many late G's. (Hasegawa and Zvezda also did this too. 😉) Check photos of the machine you want to build to see if the plastic gear are correct. However in plastic Eduard didn't make the MMT or Regensburg type landing gear legs. The brassin legs IIRC are Regensburg, but no one has done MMT legs correctly. Tamiya's top part of the Gear legs (MMT?) are nice and beefy, but the lower legs are way too spindly. Also the Tamiya upper cowl is flat and the gun troughs are spaced too far apart. They did this to accommodate the toy like features of their kit. So open the engine cover to hide this (Fatal!!!! 🤣) flaw. Also if you want to do a proper Eduard F-4 Trop rob the prop blades from the Hasegawa F-4 trop since Eduard's 109F blades are for F-2's and early F-4's. This book may have more information, but I can't find it in my collection. (Did I loan it out to someone?)

A suggestion, perhaps a thread in the WW 2 section with some comparison photos of the various landing gear legs, and what they were used on. Is their any correlation between gear legs types and wheels fitted? From the description above I presume that the late version would have the larger, strengthed (?) gear legs?

ABeck Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 oops, my fault: you have to be registered to see the pictures in Flugzeugforum. I did not manage to to copy them from that site into BM, will do via Flickr... With the G-5 a new brake was introduced to handele the bigger forces (weight and power). The new brake drum had six attachment points instead of three for the previous versions. Also the legs were reinforced. The wheels now received the "disc" The new legs were common on all versions from G-5 up to K-4. A rare and to my knowledge sole exception is a JG 3 gunboat G-6 with the old style wheels and legs. This can be found via google pictures (color). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 After having received my kit yesterday a decision had to be taken: Throw away, convert it with the old Revell or make the best out of it. This time the third Option, Maybe no. 2 later with the use of an overtree or Weekend Edition. The left engine cowl does not look too convincing. Step oneis to cut out the recessed mounting for the supercharger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Step 2 is to introduce a styrene part into the hole, perpendicular and parallel to the fuselage axis, edges can be sanded later. Next step is to build up with putty. As long as the new kit is in advance and ist release state, please allow to put the posts here, will move to WIP later.

Troy Smith Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi Andreas A "before" shot showing the problem would be very informative. The old Revell kit, while still very good, has exhausts slightly too high up the cowling,about 1.5mm, and if the Zvezda F is as good as everyone says, the Revell kit is slightly too long, 1.5 - 2mm, I have one I started modifying. Among all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the Eduard kit, I've not seen good comparison images. I'm impressed at some of the decal choices, and leaving aside the debate about Eduard, actual fixes would be very interesting, especially for the Erla options, as these require conversion to do.
