Calum Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Up until this build I hadn't built a Axis aircraft since I was a kid. And even then I never built more than a couple, why that was I don't know. As an adult I'm still not into German aircraft and I have zero interest in Japanese subjects. That said I don't mind the 109. I'd bought this kit to on sell and have had it a year or so, but despite discounting it to under cost no one seemed interested. I was re reading a Military Illustrated Modeller Magazine and noticed Brett Greens Build of this aircraft. As I was in the middle of a 1/48 F-14 build, which I was losing interest in, I figured why not build this 109 straight from the box. I could even use Brett's build as a reference (OK, I could just copy exactly what he did). So that is what I set out to do. I'm pretty happy how it turned out and I may even do a E3/E4 in the future. I was refreshing just sticking things together, slapping the paint a stickers on and not bothering to much about accuracy or detail. If you're interested there is more on the build at my web site http://a4-alley.x90x.net/models/BF-109E-1.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter W Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Looks good to me Calum and I know what you mean about just building without a care for anything over the top, it definitely restores your sanity. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhtmo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Christ Callum, If that's slapping it together, then I'd love to see one you took your time over. That's a stunner!!! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 What a fine build. I have several to do but didn't want to do the engine covers off but seeing your one has made me rethink that. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
