IanC Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hello all. This is the excellent little 1/72 Revell Bf 109F-2 (originally from Zvezda). Finished in the markings of the Gruppenkommandeur of II/JG 53 on the Channel Front in 1941. It's the scheme given in the kit, but I used decals from an Xtradecal set. It made for a nice, quick build and it was good to do something other than an Emil or Gustav! It also come with a nice pilot figure, which I wish I'd put in now. 59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Very nice Friedrich! Perhaps the best looking version of the 109, at that. Really attractive model; could easily be mistaken for a much larger scale. Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanond Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The spinning propeller shots are especially nice. Very well done model. It looks bigger than 1/72. Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. Though only a 'snap-fit' kit, I think it captures the lines of the real thing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanond Many thanks Nanond. I now make a point of keeping the props free to turn - gives added play value! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Very clean execution, but I agree you should have stuck the pilot in, especially with that spinning prop shot. I built one of these recently, lovely kit, most shape accurate F in 1/72. I was also too lazy to add the aileron mass balances 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to go for the overall effect, rather than worry too much about details. Lazy modelling.... 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventsislav Gramatski Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 A great, clean build that really allows the striking colors to shine! One more in support of the pilot, would have added even more. In any case, thumbs up! I had considered getting Zvezda's F-2 as I hear it's very accurate in shape and easy to build, and is very cheap where I live (unlike Tamiya's G-6). You build definitely convinces me to get one or two, although I doubt I can get such a good result! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 In my opinion F is the coolest of all Bf 109! And you did great model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I agree with what you say about keeping props free to spin. It makes for such a realistic setting. I have a couple of these in my stash and you've really made me think about bringing one closer to the bench. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
