    Hello all! Here is my latest completed model, the Revell (ex-ICM) Bf109F-4/z in the markings of Hptm Kurt Brandle, 5/JG53 based in Sicily during early 1942. I can't deny this is a challenging kit with regards to the fit of the nose, but thanks to a build report I saw on the internet I managed to get it to fit OK. The colour scheme was based on a number of profiles and an old FSM article from a few years back so I have no idea how accurate it is. The prop is the skinnier F-2 version from the Eduard kit, I figured the wrong prop looked better than the abomination supplied by ICM! Head armour from a Hasegawa kit as I lost the original...and the radio mast is a cut-down Spitfire one from the spares box, same reason!!! Paints were by a mixture of Mr Hobby, Vallejo and Xtracrylix, decals were from the spares box. Hope you like it! cheers, Chris

    It will be a stunning kit, no doubt, but is there any need for another 1/48 109 when we have the very good Hasegawa and Zvezda kits plus the stunning Eduard example?! I would have thought a Ki100 would be a good follow on to their Hien. It's a Japanese subject and the Hasegawa kit is hard to find now. Also please Mr Tamiya will you give the F4U-4 or Spitfire XIV a fair crack of the whip too?! Chris

    What a stunner! Did reading Hanson's book inspire you to recreate this beauty? Chris

    Beautiful work! Subtle and realistic weathering too! Regarding the wings and carb intake, how about it's your own fantasy restored warbird using the later parts? Chris

    Beautiful representation of a very famous aeroplane in a not-often-seen guise! The finish is top-notch, especially the very subtle weathering. Chris
