Haggis Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi everyone. The banter has already started on HS. Some are having a go on the accuracy of the nose by looking at the drawings in the instructions! Anyway, here are the links so you can make your own mind up. It seems a bit more complicated than the Eduard offering but you do get an open radio bay which is welcome plus a complete open nose unlike Eduard. They've gone for Priller's aircraft, nice and original!!!!!!!! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10099481 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10099481z11/70/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I would love to have a closer look at it in the flesh. What is going on with the propeller in that photo? There is some funky lighting juju going on there... It almost makes it look as if the two top blades are reversed and the bottom blade is pointing the right way. Strange!

Scotsman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 No opinions on the kit , 109's arn't my thing, but oh boy throw a new 109 details into the other place is like throwing raw meat into a pen full of pit bulls....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radu l tend to agree with your observation here Radub. Upon closer inspection l see it more clearly and l dont think its a funky lighting effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro32 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 MMMMM.... one prop blade set up for counterclockwise rotation.... the other two clockwise.... that would make for interesting performance characteristics on the full size article..... I think somebody should chuck the Trumpy kit's prop in a Dremel tool to find out! At least it should be a source of SOME parts for kitbashing with the Eduard issue.....

JamesHatch Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Montex make some great Swiss marking masks is you opt for the E-3 from Eduard. I think that's the route I'll be going even though I should have this kit before long. I've popped some info about the release on my site at: http://scaleplasticandrail.com/kaboom/inde...ent/article/160 Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Jennings, I have that 109s in Swiss service book by Georg Hoch. Its in German, but let me know if you need any info as its pretty expensive to buy. Actually, would any German speakers care to buy it 2nd hand?

nmayhew Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 after a careful look i note that teh photo-etch parts for the wheel well actually look as though they might fit, unlike the ones in Eduard's update set for Eduard's own damn kit!!!!!

Greg Springer Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi Gents, I just took mine out of the box. All of the prop blades are angled the same. Viewed from the cockpit they would rotate clockwise. One item I have noticed; the demarcation for Priller's yellow nose is incorrect on the markings directions and the box art. Eduard would have you bring the yellow cowling color back over the air intake scoop and covering the cowl guns access panel to the windscreen. The b&w photo on page 4 of Scale Aircraft Modelling's Combat Colours # 1 appears to show the yellow ending at the forward edge of the intake scoop. The painted area aft of this panel line is covered with a dense spray of what looks like RLM 71. An easy fix. Cheers! Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 you got yourhands on one allready? I think there's some confusion here between the Eduard kit and the new Trumpeter kit. Radu was pointing out a visual anomaly with the prop blades of the new Trumpeter kit, whereas I suspect Greg is talking solely about the Eduard kit.

Greg Springer Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 OOPS! I just got the EDUARD kit. The comments stand for it. I really shouldn't post before my morning caffiene dose! Sorry! Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
