1/32 Bf109G interiors.

[Tomas Enerdal]

May I suggest that MDC widens the availability of the various Bf109 G/K interiors again?

 

The MDC interior sets are indeed the best there are, for several reasons:

-The sidewall detail is rather "deep", very sharp and vivid. This is really a benefit as the RLM66 is a rather dark grey, it tends to darken the interior. You need any help with contrast you can get! This also makes detail painting easier and makes the use of washes and dry brushing  easy. In my eyes they are pieces of art, kudos to Vincent Kermorgant!

-The instrument decals are again the best that I know of (together with the ones in Barracuda studios sets).

-The etched details are very fine and the modeller gets a spare set of belts every time. The separate buckles together with lead foil makes just wonderful belts. The modeller gets a spare pair of rudder pedals as well, as two pairs are included.

-They are very accurate.

 

Together all this makes these sets very complete and just a wonderful value!

 

The total numbers needed by the modelling community should be rather high really, considering all the kits from Hasegawa, Trumpeter, Revell and Zoukei Mura. Since all these kits have the same basic dimensions these sets can be tweaked into the donor kits with ordinary modelling skills. Even the Bf109F made with some small detail modifications.

 

Now add the new Kōtare K-4 as well. The K-4 set for those who would like to gild the lily even further. Or G sets for those that would like to backdate this beautiful kit into earlier G versions like G-10, G-14/AS, even G-5/AS or G-6/AS.

Zoukei Mura has announced earlier G's.

 

I have hoarded these conversions for some time, searching for them on the internet. But they should be generally available, really!

I certainly agree Tomas.  Great value indeed.  Did Vincent make the masters way back when?

I have used several MDC 1/32 109 cockpit sets over the years and they are little jewels. Glad I still have a couple left.

The interior sets are not dated in their instructions, but the Hasegawa Bf 109 G-6 arrived in 2001. So I suppose not before then. The first K-4 arrived in 2003. IIRC they appeared around that time, but as I didn't build in 1/32 then, my memory cannot be trusted at all.

Vincent K is a member of this community, I suppose he should remember.

Sadly, this is no longer the case.

Wowa!

makes me want to hug the sets I have even harder.   They are beautiful indeed.

I have several myself, including a G-4, G-10, G-14, and I think even a K-4 set.

If the masters are still in good shape it would not be a bad idea to put these back into the market

I have suggested this to Bob, he's looking into it, even the K-4 set.  Please note the G-2/G-4 set is indeed still in production and available at their site. Their service is excellent, BTW..
The various G-sets are very similar. Only small details differ, like early gun sights in the early sets and the plywood floor and large gun cover in the G-10/G-14 sets.
