  1. As I am beginning to suffer from cabin fever with the enforced lock-down, thoughts turn to plastic fettling. I've had it in mind to build a quarter scale Finnish Gustav to go with my Finnish Hurricane I (nearing completion). As I don't have an airbrush, I think I'm pretty much confined to the one of those repainted G-2's, such as this: https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=D93cweJP&id=96FB541F947EDAFA322EEB1ED095614C3FB5948E&thid=OIP.D93cweJPU0deRtGLBr-H8gHaBs&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.avionslegendaires.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F01%2FFinlande-Me-BF-109-2.jpg&exph=235&expw=1024&q=Finland+Me+109&simid=607986331580041761&selectedindex=9&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&sim=11 I have the transfers from this book to use and which I'll be using the Hurricane option too: http://mmpbooks.com/shop2/camouflage-and-decals-no-4.html So then to my question. Which kit? I'm not overly familiar with the various sub types of the Gustav, other than I know a G10 would be wrong (it's the cowling isn't it?). I'm not an over zealous rivet counter, but I don't have deep pockets either, so Tamiya's offering, unless cheap, is off limits. Looking at Hannants website, I see Eduard and Zvezda offer possible solutions, but I also see offerings from Hobbyboss, Hasegawa, Academy and Unimodel (never heard of them before!). I'm assuming that I could get a decent result from Eduard, Hasegawa and Zvezda, but how do the others stack up in comparison? I think I'm more concerned about buildability, rather than absolute accuracy - after all I'm not an expert, hence my question, so the subtle little small lumps, bumps and access panels will be clothed in my blissful ignorance! Etched metal and resin bits wouldn't be essential, as I have very little experience in either medium. I now place my faith in the Britmodeller Experten hive-mind! Thanks in advance 😀 Trevor
