Adam Poultney Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Well that is something I would quite like. Amazing that an aircraft that never even flew has more kits than some that had many more built and even decades of service 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo Raider Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Some of us, at least my interest, is in unique aircraft configurations. Zwilling 109 is very cool and father of the idea for the F82 twin mustang... I am very excited for this 109z! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hub Plott Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 While a new full kit will be nice, this has been pretty well served with resin conversions in 1/48 so if like me, you built one with one of the conversions it may not be worth picking up at least until it shows up at the vendor tables at a show.

Ray_W Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I am not much into speculative subjects. However, this one caught my attention as the Zwilling (based on the 'Friedrich' airframe) was built even though it apparently never flew due to being damaged/destroyed in a bombing raid. I was already planning to mod two 1/48 Zvezda Bf-109F to create one. Seems AA has saved me the trouble. It is also good that AA is using the Friedrich as the Gustav based version was planned but not built, and even better if they have accurately copied Zvezda to get the shape/details right. I have built up a file on the Zwilling and have no photographs of the original so any scheme/details would be speculative. Similarly, there are drawings available but no details as to what primary source was used - so probably, again, speculative. Planet Models did provide some details on the type, in their instructions, without quoting primary sources. So everything may be a concoction of best guesses or oft repeated claims. Does anyone have anything more concrete? Irrespective, I am in and will definitely buy this kit due to my interest level. I planned to finish it as a new build. Partially painted like some of the excellent 109 factory images available like so It does make for an interesting subject. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I’ve hidden a load of rubbish with accusations of copying other products (baseless if you ask me) with some danger of devolving into a political slanging match, so I would advise everyone to stick to the topic in hand and quit slinging nonsense about. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 3 hours ago, FFE said: I'm sorry, but it's not nonsense here. It is enough to compare the details. You are arguing with a Moderator. Fair warning. The Zvezda Bf.109F is a Bf.109F, and if everyone gets it right, they WILL all look the same. Are you going to attack Tamiya, Eduard and even Messerschmitt for copying their kit? I've built the Zvezda Bf.109F, and IIRC it only had one fuselage to differentiate it, amongst other things. If you're just going to troll about anything Zvezda made first, or attack anything made in Ukraine, maybe Britmodeller isn't the site for you Bearing in mind the last part of 4 above and your location stated in your profile, attacking a company's products because of where they're based will leave you open to being banned from the site if you keep it up. We keep politics out of our discussions here - that includes all sides without exception. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Well for not wanting to take a step back, arguing with a moderator etc Mr FFE has left the building Please no more of this type of thing on here. Fair warning as Mike says. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It's an unusual subject, and it would be tempting to go for a captured machine at Farnborough. Would have loved to have seen Eric Brown's verdict on the type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
