Eduard BF-109 E-3 - 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hi all - this is the Eduard E-3 - a very nice kit if a little tricky in places - I did make a few little little mistakes during the construction but nothing I wasn't able to sand and fill my way out of.  I replaced the gun barrels with some turned brass aftermarket but otherwise it was all out of the box - though being a profipack, it came with masks and some PE. Painted with Mr Color Lacquers and weathered with Mig Washes and Oil paint - it was an enjoyable build. Battle of Britain scheme.

This build kind of brings me full circle - the first model I posted in Britmodeller was a 109E - posted just under 2 years ago.  I still love that little E but this is certainly a nice upgrade. My skill level has improved since then and hopefully will continue to improve, 2 years in and I feel like I've just touched the tip of the iceburg :)

 

Thanks for looking :)

Hi John, great to see you're back! This is fab - great scheme, love the mottles and the weathering is spot on. Cheers, Sam

Thanks Sam - I've been quite busy with work so haven't done any WIP's in a while - still doing lots of sanity modelling though :)

Great modelling man! Well done! Perfectly balanced finish for my taste. 

This is one of the most interesting Emil paint schemes I've seen. 

 

Excellent! 

 

Best, 

Nikola

Thanks Nikola - I thought so too - a bit different to usual yellow nose.

As others have said, this is a beauty.  I have this kit and wasn't taken by the white nosed version, but you've really done a great job of it.  Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Jack - I was worried about weathering that white nose and some of the effects I tried here didn't really come out but I was pleased overall.
