Airfix 1:48 Bf 109E-4


Recommended Posts

 

After becoming frustrated with ICM/Revell´s Mustang Mk.III in 1:48 (and sending it to my spares box with most pieces on their sprue), I decided to pull this model out of my stash and build it as a relaxing build, which it was!

The model offers the flaps and slats in the down position, and you can pose them up by cutting their respective mounting tabs. However, while removing the tab of one slat, I also removed a chunk of it, which was repaired by filling the area with CA. I also feared that, due to how thin the plastic on the slats was, that the plastic would damage if I used regular glue, so I used CA to glue the slats.

Always liked Gallands Emil. Good thing he didn't get Spitfire like he asked for.

Galland´s Emil was also a long time favourite aircraft of mine, but never went around on doing it.

You´ve given an idea for an Spitfire Mk.I painted in German colours.
