gryphon28 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone The 1/48 Eduard Bf109G-5. So much fun it should be illegal! Built this one a while back. Just a joy of a kit to build. I love Tamiya kits as much as the next guy but with everything they throw in an Eduard Profipack 109 kit, I don’t feel the need to go elsewhere. I bevelled the panel join line on top and bottom of the fuselage, replaced the wing cannon and pitot with hollow aluminium tube and also the underfuselage aerial with a fresh acupuncture needle (ouch). I also flatted the tyres which on a 109 is particularly difficult to get the angle right! Colors are Mr Hobby and Tamiya. Hopefully the color variation comes out. Maybe should have gone heavier with it but I like subtle. I think this is a quite an eye catching scheme and the spinner decal is just amazing. I was pleased with how this came out. Feedback welcome. Thanks for looking. Rick Edited January 3, 2020 by gryphon28 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Great looking 109, excellent painting and weathering. I totally agree with you about Eduard Profipaks, such good kits with all the little extras included. gazza l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerR. Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Excellent build! And I agree about the profi-packs, the only thing that is missing are masks for the inside of the canopy if you want to build the cockpit open. Volker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh59 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Great build 👍. Much prefer the Eduard 109s over the Tamiya kit especially the price!!! Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_ Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Looks awesome, well done on this. I didn’t realize the G5’s were operational- I thought it jumped from G4 to G6. That’s one of the great things about this hobby, I’m always learning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Robert, Just looking at the instructions again, apparently he flew this machine in the same time frame as a regular camouflaged 109. This machine flew out of Bad Worishofen in December 1943.

Thanks Andy You do get a lot of bang for the buck with the Eduard kit. At some point I love to have a go at the Tamiya, or I could just buy another two or three Eduard weekend kits.
