Messerschmitt Bf109G-6

Great work, Stefan!

 

about the over engineered kit, I would like to say my impression: I was puzzled about it, and tried several approaches to minimize the troubles I expected from it.

well, in the end the only serious weak point I found was on the landing gear and, having already built Hasegawa and Trumpeter 109, definetly I elect the Revell the winner: the qualities of both design and styrene itself, coupled with the more than reasonable cost, make it The One-O-Nine kit, IMHO.

Yes, considering the detail, fit and price this kit is a bargain and it has been a very enjoyable build so far!

 

A bit complicated, yes,

Difficult, No, Revell has managed to pull it off very well, I do like the kit!

 

Only thing that really is needing replacement are the landing gear that looks a bit weak, but I have the solid Eduard Brassin legs for that.

 

The other detail sets I have used are only icing on the cake, really not needed.

I won´t use the "Beules" so I filled the holes with plastic rods.

These small inlets don´t look so good…

Sorry Stefan, show's over! I can, however, move it to the WiP forum for you if you like. Just let me know.

Hi and thanks to all!

 

More Black primer and now I can add some missing parts, first a desert airfilter from Quickboost…

 

 

IMG_9387

 

The fit was outstanding and as in most cases with QB parts, they fitted with minimal work…

 

IMG_9388

 

Next detail to add was the ”gunboats” under the wings, once again BarracudaCast parts, perfectly done and outstanding fit….

 

IMG_9390

 

This set also included two sexy metal barrels from Master….

 

IMG_9392

 

 

…and they fit perfectly against the wing and the simple instructions are crystal clear where they will go.

They are handed so be aware!

 

 

IMG_9393

 

 

Bad (I know, I know...) photo, but I can tell You that the detail on these are outstanding, as always with `Cuda parts!

 

 

IMG_9394

 

 

More to come soon!
