Bob_C Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 1:48 Eduard Bf109 E-4 Here are some photos of my recently completed Bf109 E-4. As the kit comes with quite a detailed representation of the DB601 engine I thought it would be nice to display it and not fit the cowling panels. As you probably all know the kit is a pleasure to build with no issues I can recall. The only additions being photo etch seat belts, some plumbing to the engine and landing gear and 1.0mm aluminium tubing for the m/c gun barrels. Decals are from the kit and went on without any problems. Paints are Gunze Aqueous and Tamiya acrylics. As an aside, has anybody any experience of the 1:48 ICM Bf109F kits? I would be interested to read any comments. Thanks for looking, Bob. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 An excellent build! I have a preference for E-variants over G-models and your fine model is testament to your skill and taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 A very nice Emil ! Congratulations ! I have the ICM kit in my stash and everytime after looking in the box its soon back in the stash. The mold looks worse with all the flash and the fuselage spine is too square. The decals in my kit are very opaque and look not really well printed.

I finally got mine off the shelf of doom last year.I didn't bother with the engine so setting up the nose panels was a bit of a game.Other than a couple of easily sorted short shots the kit went together well with not a lot of filling or fettling.The next one will have a bit more gubbins added to the cockpit,it looks a bit bare in there.
