Reini78 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 #17/2019 And the fourth of 5 Emils finished. Airfix kit, the storch legs shortened about 3mm, wrong seat replaced with a Hasegawa one, way too narrow prop blades therefore replacement with a complete Hasegawa prop, a missing E-1 panel engraved, brake lines with lead wire and plastic rods, the latter also used for the landing gear indicators on the upperwing, brass pipe piece for the antenna to fuselage insert, EZ Line and fishing line for antenna wires, kit decals except "black 8" taken from a Fantasy Printshop Luftwaffe number sheet. AK Real Color RLM paints for the 65//70/71/02 camo. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235054802-red-band148-messerschmitt-bf109e-1-jg53/ The model displays a machine of 2./JG53 during the BoB in 1940. Mombeek´s Luftwaffe Gallery No1 as reference.

Greg Law Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Yet another excellent finish Reini. That's an unusual scheme for BOB. I wish I had the time to do this much modelling. Hopefully this time next year I can wind back my work projects so I can spend more time on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, compared to scale drawings the legs are too long, but so are the ones of the Eduard Emils for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
