Dave_R 3,711 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Hi All, To go with my Hurricane I have Eduards Bf 109 E-4. With a base and some figures this be a counterpart to my Hurricane build. Dave. Edited July 5, 2020 by Dave_R 15 Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Moff 4,232 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 will follow along as I have an Eduard 1/48 E4. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_R 3,711 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi All, I'm going to press on with this build for a while, here's is the progress I've made so far. Fairly straightforward so far - the engine cowling etc. could be a bit tricky though. Dave. 11 Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 1602 971 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Very neat work on the cockpit. I’ll watch this with interest as I have the Eduard Bf 109E dual-combo boxing on back order. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Moff 4,232 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 looking good! Link to post Share on other sites
jean 4,716 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Impressively good and fast! Well done. JR Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_R 3,711 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hi All, Most of the construction is done. The engine cowling panels were a bit tricky to fit. I ended up removing the engine, I only put it in to hold up the propeller. I had similar problems with the Eduard FW 190. Dave. 10 Link to post Share on other sites

Greg Law 5,049 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yes, I had trouble with the cowling panels. It depends on what kit you have. The earlier kits don't mention the fact that you have to shave the top front part of the engine off a bit and leave some of the guns ammo shuts off. The later kits instructions show this. Eg the Bf 109E-7. You also leave out the engine brackets. Link to post Share on other sites

Johnson 3,465 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Always very satisfying to reach this stage, looks good too! Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_R 3,711 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi All, Here's some photos catching up on the paintwork. First AK RLM 65 - mostly covered by masking tape. Followed by Xtracrylix RLM 02 - and masked. Followed by AK RLM 71 - and unmasked. Dave. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Corsairfoxfouruncle 24,195 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Agreed great looking Mottles. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_R 3,711 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi All, Now with yellow tips. The yellow has gone on a bit thick - but that's what it needed to stop it being translucent. So the main painting is done - next undercarriage. Dave. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Stew Dapple 16,733 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yellow can be a real dog to get a decent coverage with, but you've got that, nice job Cheers, Stew Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_R 3,711 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Hi All, I've been off-line for 20 days, but I'm back with a much faster broadband and a bit of backlog of photos to upload. The sharp eyed will notice that the Carpet Monster has eaten the right wing MG, so I'll have to buy brass ones, make one or rob an Airfix 109. Dave.

Dave_R 3,711 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi All, I've also been making a base for this. The figures are Eduard and ICM. Dave. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
