thierry laurent Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 If you are brave enough to try correcting this old dog, this old book has everything you need including scale planes comparing the kit outlines with the correct ones: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reference/details.php?title=1888 Hth Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 oh my god, i herard rumors of this book from Beamon ages ago, nerver was able to locate it, didnt even see the cover until now.... Well, if my memory's right the book cover you saw is the one of my book! It took me ages to get one but this was worth the hunt...! The review/correction of the kits is more or less useless now as the 109 initial kit releases have been replaced by better kits in all scales since the book publication. However, the 1/32 plans are still excellent and among the best ever released... A true time capsule...! Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Taking on a kit like this is a trip down memory lane for many, and to want to fiddle with it and accurize it is a good challenge. I like the fact that so many are stepping up with info, and support... ... for the crazy guy. Yes, I have one in the stash.

branchline Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi Folks, I seem to remember a magazine article several years ago on converting the Revell Bf109 G6 into a Hispano HA.1112 K-1L Buchon using the nose off the Matchbox Mk22/24 Spitfire, accuracy aside I seem to remember it looked the part? It's been a long time away from this site, the drive to come back was a call from one of our sons about the WNW Camel three weeks ago which stirred that dormant sleeping modelling monster inside me. I purchased a Camel on line that night but was disappointed to see the Pup had sold out. The monster was fully woken up last week after driving past a model shop in St Mary's out near Penrith, Sydney while looking for an eatery. The result was a pleasantly full belly and a 1/32 T6 Harvard. Just to really drive it home the next day I walked past Metro Hobbies in downtown Melbourne on the way to a business meeting so on the way back stopped off and purchased a WNW Sopwith Pup plus a 1/144 Airfix Comet 4B (just because). All this got me into visiting here again and finally sorting out my LSP pass word this week. So it's been a busy time catching up on all the glue and solvent sniffing you folk have been doing for the last 18 months and I'm aiming to join you again... Good to be back.

branchline Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Hi Ian, Apologies I didn't mean to 'high jack' your thread, of all the threads I have read through over the last week and that would be in the hundreds, this one hit a cord as I have one of these kits in my stash. I also have a couple of Hasegawa G models, a couple of 21st Century Toys editions (a G-14 and F-4) from memory plus a couple of Emils one old and one new hiding somewhere in storage. I'll make the old Revell one at some point soon as a getting back into the hobby model and at the end of the day it does look like a Bf109-G just not something you would put into a competition or look too closely at so if you want a quick build to practice a skill on as has been mentioned, then it has to be a starter despite it's pitfalls. Rgds Brent PS, I'll track down that Buchon article, it did make into a nice model. Edited July 28, 2017 by branchline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Texan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Here are a couple of articles in LSP of builders who built the old Revell 109G. http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1421 http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=736 So, you can make a nice model out of these. Just depends on much you wanna do. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
