  1. In the moment the kit built I has stopped. The new aircraft landing gear rack makes a lot of work! But some modellers from Germany ask me: "do you find same mistake by Bf 109E variants?" I can only answer: "Well, it is the same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?” (I hope, all from You understand, why German poeple like this video!) The same mistake I found also too for Bf 109E-Variants I can live with little erros from Hasegawa and Airfix, but Eduard company is something particularly?
  2. Please, let us collect money for a EDUARD standard equipment: Protractor, tape measure, paper and pencils, a simple calculator. Maybe for a photo tutorial for digital cameras?
  3. @ airborne: Fine Answer! and not HERR BOBO, but please Mr. BOBO or better BOBO Yesterday I built the landing gear. And I thought to myself, I slipped a bus! Even on the very sensitive parts must correct you - I think it's not easy! I found this solution on the internet!
  4. I have changed my color schema to squadron captain, red "1" of 2./ JG300. The reason is simple: The EDUARD kit is not worth for a squadron leader aircraft
  5. I do not use acrylic paints. Since more than 35 years ago I have around 450 paint cups in my hobby room.Very special for this kit I have paint it with my airbrush only AGAMA (Cz.) and ModelMaster (all authentic colours) with 30-40% thinner. It is not from Revell or Mastermodel is poorly. I use special thinner from German from FISCHAR. This is the best what I know, all paints (not acrylis) you can dilute.
  6. I will going on with my kit built in scale 1/46 Here some new fotos from my last result. I will know built a red "1", the aircraft from Ltn. Manfred Dieterle, squadron captain of 2. /JG300 from Juni 1944. This is the original copie:
  7. Well, I go on with these creasy aircraft kit. I will closed the work in some days but only as red "1" from I./ JG300 know. Here my next pictures:
  8. Hi guys, the practice is unfortunately on the other! visit this here ! or in German here!
  9. I have read this as prewiev in SAM(?). New stuff? I dont think it, Look her, my website: http://www.JG300.de
  10. No, no, ...When I use the aircraft rudder without correction. it leans to the right (in the direction of flight)
  11. A friendly "Hello" from BOBO/ Germany It is a great hipe around the new kit in sclae 1:48 Bf 109G, many interesting photos and pictures, many hope of a good model. And I have like this new model because I see many new variations you can build, also too the Type 110 engine variant from Erla-production. Never firm has made these Messerschmitt-type in scale 1/48. Since friday last week this new kit is on my table. Within about 8 hours I have built the complete fuselage and some parts of wing and other litte part groups. I want built the figther aircraft of I./ JG300 commander, Hptm.Gerhard Stamp. All alternative parts are in this kit box. (tail, Erla-canopy, short antenna), a redesigned Bf 109G-6 with new tail and Erla-canopy. The standard decals not so interesting for me! At first I found only some little kit mistakes(?) and I’m sure that firm EDIAUAD can use this infos to improve the quality. 1.) I miss on the inside from fuselage holes and pins for position fixing the fuselage half. I must make some little strap on the fuselage inside. Also too on the wing insides. 2.) And it is’nt easy to fixing the cockpit interieur in the inside of fuselage. I miss more cement points. 3.) I’m not understand, why the tail (fin) parts are asymetric- or it is an production error? 4.) The engine underside i have used putty, because the fuselage parts on this area are a little bit to small. 5.) I have look on some photos (JG300). I’m sure the wheel wells on the wing under surface are a tad too big. 6.) The Erla-canopy is incorrect in the back. In this area the canopy falls down. The plastic parts are very thick. The company Eduard can do better?! ........................................... And now, 3 hours later: I'm sitting now in front of complete built fuselage, I look to the wing and to the fuselage and I think, this model isn't right. The wing is attached in only. There is something wrong .... Then I searched all my drawings, documents, books from U.K., USA, Germany, and fotos copies and also too in the Internet. Since more than 35 Years I have collected many many infomation from aircrafts of WWII. The result: The original wingspan is of the Version G-6 is 9.92 m (up to 9.93 m) The original length of the fuselage is 8.94 m (up to 8.96 m) And this means, in 1:48 scale: Wingspan: about 20.60 cm Fuselage length about: 18.60 cm All modern Hasegawa-kits are more correct (with some minimum difference) BUT EDWARD Bf 109G-6: Wingspan: 21.3 cm Fuselage length: 19.3 cm The aircraft fuselage is too long in the rear region (ca. 1,5 mm) in cockpit area 3mm and engine area with more than 1mm, by more than 5 mm in summary(!), and the wing is too long at both ends, about 3mm. I am very disappointed. Picture find here!
  12. Hi guys, I am a newbie here in this forum. And I hope in the moment for your help. I have currently two Spitfire Mk.Ia under construction. (New Airfix model and Tamiya 1:48 ) I'm really annoyed about the new model from Airfix. It's amazing how much you can do wrong with a famous British fighter aircraft. (which happens with German models of German and other manufacturers!) Well, I want to build two (and more) early "Spity"-types (2-blade propeller, simple antenna floor, flat hood). In the moment I am looking to usable decals (WZ-O-x, FZ-O-x) serial numbers or a complete sheet with British letters (1/48) and serial numbers. Has anyone of you a good recommendation ?
