gryphon28 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Evening, Here is my Eduard Bf109F4. I didn't fancy the schemes in the boxing I had so raided the spare decal box and made a JG27 machine as seen in the "Africa" combo boxing, complete with the attractive yellow nose. I could have gone with Marseille's machine, maybe next time! Gunze and Tamiya exterior with Vallejo interior details. There is a fair bit of tonal variation on the wings and fuselage as I lightened/darkened various panels to break up the monotone RLM79 finish. There is some restrained chipping with a silver pencil. Tyres flatted and pitot replaced with hollow tube. Everything hanging down. The spinner is held on with magnets. I found it centres more precisely that way and can be easily removed for transport to shows. Amazingly it even spins. A joy to build notwithstanding the cockpit is pretty busy and a bit of a tight fit here and there, especially the instrument panel. Keep em coming Eduard.

gryphon28 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thanks for the comments guys, for those with one in the stash, build and enjoy. For those without one, treat yourself, the 109 series are all amazing, whether profi or weekend kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteo44 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Great work. I like this camouflage and the general weathering. Very nice. If I can, i think that you forget the antenna wire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon28 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thanks Matteo To be honest the aerial attachment is really weak on the 109 series. I was concerned that my Uschi thread wire would pull the aerial off when it was under tension. I’m going to get some epoxy for the canopy aerial then I will do it. Good spot though 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_ Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Really nice job on this trop version, the weathering is subtle and convincing. This was the best 109 imo, more maneuverable than the heavier later versions. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkeEins Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 ..as depicted on the cover of a recent issue of ‘Avions’ magazine...Neumann’s machine, very nicely done....surprisingly for the Kommandeur I./JG 27 (subsequently Kommodore) most of his ‘kills’ were returned over southern England during the BoB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t intend to repaint it but if anyone knows definitively, I would be interested and in no way offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
