Mark P Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Title says it all. Does anyone do a 1/32nd scale resin conversion to create an early Bf 109 (A thru D)? I believe there was in the past but I can't remember it... Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Alley Cat was mine, but 4 1/2 years ago Alec Smith took it over from me, my new little venture is Aerocraft models, but Alec has most if not all the product that I made and developed. Just look for Alley Cat models on the web. Ali scvrobeson, Mark P, Rick Griewski and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Werner Wings also did some early 109's, like V-13 and V-14. But they are OOP now. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Mark, the Alleycat sets are perfect for the Eduard E1. If you are mad about accuracy the nose should however be lengthened in its rear section. This is quite easy as far as you choose the best location to avoid the small side and upper vents where you saw. Adding 2mm may look overkill for a 1/32 kit unless when the discrepancy is located in a specific area and this is unfortunately the case here. Just look at the location of the rounded panel line on the lower side of the nose right in front of the wing root and you will understand what I mean. It is far too close to that wing root on the resin part in comparison with the full scale Jumo nose. I corrected mine in more or less two hours. I do not remember but have possibly a picture of the correction somewhere. Mebo and Rick Griewski 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi Thierry Please post pictures of jumo nose if you find it. I ordered Allycat A, B, C and D conversions last night. Cheers Mikkel Fanes, MikeC and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Here's the set of promised pictures: https://imgur.com/a/Hw0T3HH I saw each part in two, added a 2mm thick layer of plasticard glued with CA and filled the gap with epoxy putty. Then the seam was sanded, polished and scribed. Hth Thierry D.B. Andrus, MikeMaben and Kagemusha 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 DId the Alleycat D coversion some years ago - an absolute delight. I used the Eduard kit (as prescribed) and some years later I did a unmodified Eduard kit... it was actually easier to add the Alleycat nose than use the Eduard standard nose. That's how good it is. Highly recommended MikeMaben, Troy Molitor, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
