  1. Looks fantastic man! Hard to believe it's 72! Congratulations!
  2. I would have preferred to see some yellow revised areas around the wrong leading edge slots, the flat windscreen, the too-tall landing gear legs, or in fact in any other area than the E0 cowling that has just been tackled by the competition AZ, or the Swiss conversion that takes about 5 minutes and 2 euro to do (change the control stick to a spade grip one and the cannon barrels to some perfectly similar Japanese mk99 from Master, erase the MG bumps BUT add other small ones in front of the windscreen - I think they missed that part, or decided that it would be too complicated) ... And even more, I have yet to see a single E0 with the machine guns installed and those "horseshoe" bumps on the cowling...Almost every picture (I have seen) of a "long intake" E0 had the MG ports covered with riveted plates and a different type of bulges, if any... I believe all the ~10 E0 built had no radio mast, and the oil radiator was quite smaller than on the future Es so that one should have been yellow too... So all in all, just like the entire 109E series that Eduard/Special Hobby has released, this one is also a half-researched, done-in-haste product, out of desperation to quickly grab a piece of the competition's pie rather than from passion or a desire to release a good, lasting model ...
  3. I think the radiator was tapered a bit (it got narrower in the back), and inside there seems to be a lip like on the early E, but it's not placed in the middle but rather low (same as for the V13 oil radiator here). And please mind that the coolant radiators had the t-shaped lips inside. I have enhanced the V13 picture a bit so the lip inside the radiator is visible, and so are the the ones in the large radiators. Also please notice that all the cooling louvres are of different shape and position than on a normal E. http://www.cartula.ro/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=161677
  4. Hi! I am building that myself right now, The radiator is very deep, even larger than a normal G radiator. I have just filed it off and kept the base, over which I have glued in a late 109 radiator. Unfortunately, this is just one of the many modifications required to make it a proper V14 : Spinner, air intakes and louvres, landing gear caps and bays to name just a few.., http://www.cartula.ro/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=161676
  5. Excellent build and photos. Could you tell us something about the colors that you used? They look spot on! Is there a definitive recipe for the 4 colors of the Yugo camo?
  6. It looks suspiciously similar to Otto Schulz's F, except for the missing pair of vertical bars behind the chevron...
  7. So apparently the E0 have the good old E3 wings...unfortunately...well, for certain prototypes, work is already necessary on the wings, so not too much trouble. You get an extra E1-7 fuselage as a bonus.
  8. The pictures of "yellow three" show a G2/Trop not an F4 ...check the windscreen frames and the position of the fuel intake cap. In the second picture, the yellow 4 is an F. You could build that one, there are more photos of it here : https://me109.info/display.php?from=site&lang=de&auth=e&name=ueberlebende-ausgabe&fotonummer=3161 https://me109.info/display.php?from=site&lang=de&auth=e&name=ueberlebende-ausgabe&fotonummer=1102
  9. The artwork is absolutely stunning, but it could use a little re-work around the spinner area since the real plane had a much larger opening (I think the small top ring of an otherwise normal spinner was simply removed on this record plane, probably for better cooling?) ...
  10. I think they thinned down the first Dual combo, the preliminary sprue schemes showed a different configuration of the sprues... It would have had two complete fuselage L sprues and yet another different one, a K, probably for Moelder's F1 . Then they probably got lazy or greedy or both, and they decided to use a pathetic PE to cater for the F1...a PE that is not really enough as the F1 has a different fuselage-to-wing joint cover, like the older E..
  11. Yeah, I keep looking at that scheme and I am not really sure how would that work...the two-seater canopy is too short, and there is a fuel tank to consider, if you compare it to the real 109 two-seaters like the G12 or the Spanish or Yugo improvised ones, there is a whole area missing in between the seats so the guy in the back really would have had no room for legs, controls or instrument panel.
