Reini78 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 #2/2020 First 109 for the new season and first new Eduard G-6/AS. A troublefree build like all their new 109s. But the molded on pitot tube still looks off and like with their G-10 kits the elevator trim tabs are too small. The antenna mast has still no locating pin and the loop antenna still has to be attached to the already molded on base. Built oob, added EZ Line and fishing line for the antenna wires and plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines. Camo painted with MRP RLM74/75/76. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235063868-black-knightairwar-over-austria148-messerschmitt-bf109g-6as-dual-build/ The model displays the aircraft of Unteroffizier Heinz Zimmermann, 6./JG27, stationed in Fels am Wagram/Lower-Austria in July 1944. Zimmermann was shot down and KIA in the area of St.Pölten (nowadays the state capital of Lower-Austria) on August 23rd 1944.

cger Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 another superb build, as usual, with flawless painting, congratulations ! I have the Eduard kit in my stash, now it will be hard to resist starting it, Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadMax8 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Looks great, as usual. The red gear legs really make this one stand out! What method does your dad use to mask the scallops on the leading edge? Those are so crisp and consistent, and I think an absolute requirement for when I build a 109... Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Very interesting background info, thank you Reini. Another 109 in "usual quality" … top paint job! The red gear legs and hubs are quite irritating, even though I know some 109s had them; it still looks pretty odd on the model, if I may say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 As close to perfection as makes no difference. Beautiful and authorative work!

Kind regards, Joachim Yes, common theory about the red legs is fuel with different octane due to the AS engine. 1 hour ago, Harry Callahan said: Again outstanding work Reini and well photographed.

Oberleutnant Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Very nice mate. Late versions with the new canopy design always seem a bit off to me. Presume it gave much better visibility but I before the original few versions - always seem more brutal somehow!
