areva Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 All those parts, but no leading edge slats? I'm still not seeing slats on the exploded view. The area may be recessed, without showing them, and maybe not. areva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

averarandy Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Of course, If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me. I zeroed in on the top photo. Thanks, areva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'm not excatly interested about another Bf109 at all, the same way I'm not interested about the umpteenth Mustang, or Fw190, or..........I'de rather prefer a new Hakwer Fury, for example... That said, I find it very good news that any manufacturer decides to offer a new kit, wichever it may be. That's a good proof about this hobby's good health. Will I buy one of these???? Surely NO. Am I happy about a new Bf109 on the block??? Definitely YES. Best regards...!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If Eduard did their job properly, there truly wouldn't be need for a new Emil, as of today Tamiya is still the best, I rank Airfix second due to way to heavy paneling. My only complaint would be lack of riveting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'm glad they decided not to cover the surface with tiny holes. Looking forward to the release and to have a closer look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I completely forgot about this kit with the Wingsy one coming, will be an interesting comparison. I do like the way the say one piece fuselage so no puttying or sanding which has never really been a problem for an aircraft with a seam line where you normally join the fuselage halves.

baldwin8 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Trying to decide if these are just more CAD images or hard plastic. I have not tried any Dragon for a very long time but looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin8 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Actually these images just look rearranged from their earlier post. Looks as if I will have lots of time to put some money aside if I purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's impressive, and may be a feature extended to other aircraft types in future kits. But a bit of me is feeling sad - dealing with seam lines is a fundamental part of building plastic model aircraft. Are we at the point where technology is about to rid us of that happy chore? 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldwin8 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 One more to add to the side by side by side...... comparisons. Curious to see the usual wheelwell, slats etc. details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czaralko Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have been saving some kagero top colours for a kit like this, hopefully it doesnt look too akward next to my Eduard kits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eduard kits are off dimensionally. Especially the wing span makes it look off just by looking at it. If the 1/48th scale kit is anything like their 1/32nd scale kit we're in for a treat!
