Lucky you - I'm still waiting on a notification from Alley Cat for my conversion set. Thank you Fanes, I think Alley Cat pretty well cast to order so the longer delay in receiving my order but no problems for me as I have plenty of other builds under way at the moment. Regards.

Gazzas Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 That has to be one of the best early sidewalls I’ve ever seen! monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Gaz, currently re working the throttle quadrant/ linkage on the other sidewall. There seems to be quite a bit of difference on these early 109's. Regards.

Hi Mike, I'm using SAM Publications data file number 9, "The Messerschmitt Bf 109 Part 1. Prototype to E variants. Has a large number of excellent images of a very late A variant. Regards.

MikeMaben Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah that's a nice book. Like you say, that's a late A in the walkaround. One thing I've found in researching these early 109s is that there are many cases of 'some do , some don't' as far as features and markings. Early development meant numerous changes in a relatively short span of time. Looks like you're having fun monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, if you're building a B , I wouldn't rely to much on that Russian walkaround as B-1s were the first production a/c and were different from the A-0s. Do you have a copy of German Aircraft Interiors by Merrick ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 So back from holiday to find my Alley Cat conversion waiying for me, on first looks it all looks very nicely cast with no flaws in a light cream resin. Spent a little time this weekend cleaning up the nose parts for a test fit on the fuselage, first up was to cut the Eduard fuselage in readiness. No going back now so on with cleaning up the resin nose section. and together in readyness for test fitting with the fuselage. and a test fit to the fuselage. L Looks like a pretty good fit which is a relief so back to the cockpit conversion work but also need to start having a look at the wing conversion work as well. Regards.

Less work than my Cutting Edge mod Thanks Mike, had a quick look at your 109 thread and its definitely a slightly different approach Cutting Edge took, the Alley Cat set is for the Eduard kit and seems to fit well and also the Eduard kit has an E-1 lower wing included so makes life a little easier.

monthebiff Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Made a start on the lower wing conversion this evening, radiators removed and replaced with resin blanks. A really nice fit with minimal filler required, so far so good. Regards. Andy Fanes, LSP_Kevin, MikeMaben and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
