Dave Williams Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I’m curious how well the 109 is selling, considering it’s an “off” scale for aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The 109 I finally received from Luckymodels. Besides the known issues already pointed out the only disappointment I found was the cockpit instruments. They give you nice outer instrument details for the various frames etc. but nothing for the actual instrument details. Only blank holes. As no one makes a cockpit upgrade yet and odds are will not for a while it leaves me wondering why they did not give a decal at least. The Accurate decals are too large as would be expected. Moulding itself is very clean, clear parts flawless and a lot of options for guns and or rockets. Paul MikeMaben, LSP_K2 and Sepp 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daHeld Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The rivet lines are also incorrect in many places. In addition they are quite pronounced, just like the Trumpeter ones... ringleheim and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell the difference between the two scales from 12 inches away? How much larger will a 1/35 scale 109 be vs a 1/32? The Stuka, should be very nice, noting the details around the 37mm guns. And the 109, seems to have well done details but hard to tell from the pictures alone. As far as accuracy, have to leave that to the experts. Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgoat Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 A 1/35 model will always be smaller than one in 1/32. Always, Paul. Andreas Beck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yes. It’s quite a bit smaller now that I have it. I realized the scale difference meant the Border would be smaller but did not think it would be so noticeable which it is. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The size is pretty noticeable. Here is the Revell 109G-6 fuselage (top) vs. the POMK resin 1/35th 109G-6: The difference is about 18mm. I haven't decided yet to get the new Border Models kit or not to replace it. I was thinking of doing a 1/35th dio with GI's looking over a downed 109. LSP_Kevin, LSP_K2, Martinnfb and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting 1/48 scale figures is a beeyatch. 1/35th is bad enough. LSP_K2 and MikeMaben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Just use Verlinden/Jaguar/Warriors figures! They are clearly close to 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
