SimonT Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I wouldn’t mind one of each, I like how they are very different to the E, just as the E is different to the F-K. Are there any UK stockists or should I just order from Hungary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It seems like a reasonable price at about 25€ without vat. I was actually expecting more - I think this will be an attractive price for many modelers. I am waiting now for a build review to see if fits together.

Adam Poultney Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 They're both in stock with Hannants now and I'm looking at putting them on my next order. Undecided which version to buy and which scheme to go with. Thinking the 70/71 (extending down to the very bottom of the fuselage sides) over 65 schemes like in the C box. I kind of want to go with the D box because it has so many schemes (plenty of decals for the spares folder- yes I have my spares mostly in a nicely organised folder) including the scheme I'm leaning towards. Anyone know what the differences between the two variants were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what the differences between the two variants were? I'm not a 109 expert but I believe the C and D were visually the same. As for the difference of the C-3, it had 20 mm MG FF's in the wings instead of the MG 17's of the C-1/D-1, but I don't believe the C-3 ever entered service, only a few prototypes were produced.

Ka-Efka Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Main 'difference' is the number of produced airplanes. The C was only produced in small numbers, and the D was planned to be the next main version of the 109. Featuring DB 600 engines instead of the Jumo 210. Well, it ended up with the Jumo 210D of the Bf-109B, whereas the C had the more advanced 210G engines. Fuselage was identical, as pointed out by TBolt. @Adam Poultney if you're unsure which scheme to build, the D is the better bet I' say. Next edit... Somehow I wasn't paying attention Modelsvit actually did the C3 only. Well, that's a very niche thing as TBolt also pointed out correctly.

Ka-Efka Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Mine just arrived (the D). VERY nice kit. Much finer moulding than I anticipated. And I'm not speaking about the surface quality here, all the small parts are very crisp. Wing trailing edge in area of the flaps (the small upper skin overhang) ist beautifully thin. I expected a good kit, but I was positively wrong 😊 Didn't do any comparison to other early 109 and to the original yet. I time permits I'll follow up on that. Also, if anyone has a question I'll try to answer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caughtinthemiddle Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Well, the choice of C-3 is logical, because a number of these could be identified on photos known from many years, whilst until the two photos linked below appeared on Evilbay two-three years ago: https://me109.info/display.php?a=e&fid=12580 https://me109.info/display.php?a=e&l=en&fid=12653 there was no photographic proof of C-1's existence known to me - as they are indistinguishable from D-1s unless we could see the engine, or - as on the linked pictures - we see no MG FF bulge under the wing and serial number or Stammkennzeichen that identify the aircraft as a Bf 109 C. It is unknown how many C-1s and C-3s existed, we only know the total C production: 58 machines. BTW, the '11' in the Modelsvit kit should actually be yellow with thin black outline. They correctly identified the unit of this aircraft (3./ZG 2), but provided white numbers for a 1./ZG 2 machine. This aircraft, WNr. 1722, was crashed by Obfw. Kurt Müller on the first day of the Polish Campaign (recorded as 'yellow 11'). This actually was surprising for me, as on the other hand, in their D-1 they offer the only accurate markings for Mölders' '6-79' that I'm aware of (with the correct number of victory bars and 'Luchs' inscription on the starboard side only, i.e. features that were constantly shown wrong in decals, colour profiles and book cover artwork for many years).
