Oups... Alain PS:fake quote from ZM! A tall-tailed G-6, I would guess. A suppose a quick giveaway would the flat area behind the pilot seat, instead of the protruding box area.

jeroen_R90S Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Nice photo's, not something I would save up for (subject wise) but viewed as a model kit it looks amazing! Thunnus and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like that options are available for different versions. I’d probably lean towards an aircraft not painted in RLM 74-75-76 and with a tall tailwheel; just a personal preference. Does the kit include seatbelts? Cheers, Tom Thanks Tom! The kit does NOT have any seat belts that I could see. On 9/5/2022 at 10:07 PM, Dpgsbody55 said: Great review, John. I was particularly interested in your comments about the undercarriage both on this kit and the Ta-152 which I have on order. Like you, I've wondered if it is possible to leave these parts off until it's painted. This kit may well be my next project, assuming the etch and brass guns barrels arrive before I finish my present project. Guess we'll find out then. Cheers, Michael Thanks Michael! Yes, we'll find out for sure when we start building this kit. But the Ta-152H leg situation can be very tricky. You should expect cracked seams, on the leading edge as well as within the wheel well, when you force those part in.

somebody Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 after 3wks since I got a notice of shipment, I finally received the model. thanks for the unboxing......now if one of the 109 "expert" can start a WIP, that would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stambaugh Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 John, I wish that you had not shown to me those very excellent sprues. I had very well convinced myself not to buy this kit and now I'm out $100 bucks and it's all your fault! Thanks alot buddy.

nmayhew Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Thanks for the sprue pics I have one on order and have little doubt it will be the best 109 of any variant in 1/32; whether it is 'better' than the Tamiya G-6 in 1/48, well yes it probably is if you value detail over ease of construction - not quite an apples to apples comparison I realise I am slightly disappointed by the lack of rivet detail - in our scale i think aircraft risk looking somewhat 'nude' without it at first glance, the Beule look rather too square to me, but maybe it's the camera or maybe it's me not actually comparing to any reference, only what I remember them to be shaped like interested in others' thoughts either way quite excited Nick Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Just paid the balance on my pre order. Should be with me early next week. So all I need now is some Italian schemes to throw at it. Maybe Stormo will reprint some of the old sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) That's a nice scheme... I wonder if that's Gefr. Alfred Michel in the photograph with the bandaged head? He appears to be wearing German flight boots (for lack of the correct term). If that is him and it was his first mission, it certainly was his final and only mission....
