Recently completed the Eduard Tempest Mk.V series 2. A great kit however the AMS struck so I completed it with some aftermarket; PE flaps from Eduard, wheels, seat, radiator and exhausts from Barracuda studios. The squadron letters and serial are from Dutch Decal to represent the machine of Jan Linzel. This was a "Mayflyer" who managed to escape to the UK and flew with 33 squadron of the RAF. Approved by "Kitty" A fine cockpit OOB but not much can be seen when the fuselage is closed.

Fantastic result! If it was 1/48 I would have said looks like a 1/32 Schwalbe! Respect for your work! Erik- 24 replies

Thanks for your comment Duncan! I have the Anton in the stash too and eager to build it. When choosing the NMF Spanish version there will be a lot of work to get the surface good enough for the metal paints.. Nothing fits like a glove on this kit. Erik Thanks Mike your too kind! Erik HI John, thank mate! No not exactly a shake and bake kit but I think it still is the best early 109 around. Maybe the new Ukranian/Russian kits are better but this one has a lot of very nice resin and low parts count. Don't know -

Bf 109D Classic Airframes, 148
Erik Leijdens replied to Erik Leijdens's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thanks Woody! Yes I like the earlier variants too. There are too much Emils hanging around already! Hi Michal, thanks! Well this one was a nightfighter in the early days of May 1940 over Norway. Served at 12(N)JG2 if I am correct! There were couple of difficulties with the fit and stuff but nothing spectacular.
