Retired Bob Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 No pic of the wings? I have the 1/48 Dragon Bf 110 with those strange planks on the top and bottom of both wings, mid cord between the fuselage and engines. What the were they supposed to be?

Phas3e Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Those cockpit walls are going to be a bitch to paint, I consider myself a 109 guy and this doesnt excite me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closer, I think the cockpit wall's will be separate pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If this would come out as an early version flown by the condor legion I would have an interest as I have always been interested in the Spanish civil war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, a hole in the head for you, Emils from Dragon in 1/72 instead of 1/48 for me, deal? I'd buy at least 50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a wholly pointless waste of electrons, and needs to die as a "point of view" We all have to realise that what's boring to us may not be boring to everyone. This type of reply is just going to result in bad feelings and potential arguments. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of reply is just going to result in bad feelings and potential arguments. Sorry. Was not my intention to insult anyone who is a Bf-109E fan..... I am one myself! It was just my frustration of manufacturers pumping out kits that we have many options for. There are soooo many aircraft that are not represented at all. Shame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka-Efka Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 l/e slats are separate. The display of the ‚exploded‘ model with them retracted attached to the wing isn’t the best idea I’d say... I’m really looking forward to this kit. Some competition for Eduard’s E is welcome. And, finally a new a/c kit from Dragon! 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame That's very true, but we have to remember that companies - all companies - are chasing money at the end of the day. A 109 is a great seller, so it's no surprise that everyone wants one in their range, as they make money. What we have to hope is that these staples help to fund the more unusual ones we all earnestly hope for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, finally a new a/c kit from Dragon! 😳 The Dragon 1/32 Emil was so much better than the Eduard kit, especially OOB, that this new 1/48 version will, I think, become the kit of choice for a Bf 109E in 1/48. Sure, there are other serviceable options: Airfix, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Hobbycraft even; but this new kit looks head and shoulders above them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
