ajcm Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi. Here's what I hope to have completed by the end of this G.B. The new Bf 109 F4 of Zvezda. The sprues are basically the same of F-2. F-4 F-2 The sprue D is identical but the wings (bottom) are different. The F-4 brings another sprue (F) which have several options arms and tail of the model without the four reinforcements used in F-2. It also brings the air filter used in tropical models. My idea is to build the model «White 5» Gerhard Barkhorn. Regards ajcmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajcm Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thank you for your comments. I started the firebreak (I think is what it's called). Already painted with RLM 02 XF-22 from Tamiya. Then, the interiors. Everything has already glued, missing pilot's seat and rudder pedals that will be painted without being glued. I added some cables and wires. Hope you enjoy.

Dave A Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Ooh, that is a lovely little kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for your comments and follow . I painted the landing gear wells and the inside of the wings I'm thinking leave it open. The idea, with the help of a friend, is to make a small diorama. I use an EP that was already here and with some parts missing. Do not really like the EP because usually the color is not identical to the colors we use. I usually just use the seat belts. I painted the XF-63 with PE. Can see color difference comparing with the pieces 29 and 30 (right IP). Regards ajcmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 That looks like a very nice kit, should be impressive when finished. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wow that is a nice kit! Am very tempted, will be following this one with interest. Looks great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcm Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 And after the RLM 02, I applied the lights and shadows. The landing gear wells. Engine cowling. The separator firebreak and engine mounts. Thanks for watching. Regards ajcmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 That technique is so effective, I'll have to have a go at that next time I'm building in 1/48. What are the cut out panels in the wings for? Is it for the wing mounted guns on Adolf Galland's "special" F4? Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge none of the options is for the F-2 (F-6) of Galland. Regards ajcmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards ajcmac I wonder if they do his special in a different box, it seems a lot of effort to go to for mounting the underwing gondolas?

ajcm Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Duncan B Sorry but my English is not good. Sprues F-4 sprues are identical to F-2. Bring a sprue changed, with different wings for the F-4 (D sprue). Brings a new sprue (sprue F) with the tail without reinforcements, a new propeller, a filter for tropical version and parts for the wings, the guns, bombs and additional deposit. I hope this time have given the correct answer. The wells of the landing gear and engine support finished. Now the cockpit. Regards ajcmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoohoo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Lovely work so far Ajmac, the detail on the Zvezda kit looks great, much more there than with the Revell /ICM one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The Zvezda F2 has the open underwing panels, too. I think they're just showing off how much detail they can squeeze in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this time have given the correct answer. Nothing wrong with your English and your answer is very informative, thank you. I just wondered that was all. Maybe they will release a Galland special in the future as that is a strange engineering solution to fit the underwing cannons when they could fit right onto the underside of the wing. That is very nice work you have done on the panels and engine. The kit also looks very detailed, I have not seen the kit in the shops over here.

The detail is very nice but they must have a reason for engineering it that way. I haven't seen one of these kits in the shops but I will grab one if I do.

ajcm Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 The interior was almost ready. Missing a wash and matt varnish. After pasting the seat and seat belts. Regards ajcmac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmah Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The wells of the landing gear and engine support finished. Now the cockpit. Regards ajcmac Hi ajcmac Excellent build so far! Can you explain how you achieved the chipping/weathering on the engine bearers and cowl? looks really effective and realistic....... Many thanks in advance.
