Dave Williams Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 One is a single kit of a Bf109G made by Revell and the other made by Eduard containing two Bf109G kits in a box. Did I win? thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B. Andrus Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 44 + - is Erla production G-10. No. 2 + - is WNF production G-10. No. 12 + is MTT production G-10(can't see image well enough...) That's my take. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'd hazard a guess that the Eduard 109 has a much higher parts count than the Revell. Hardcore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Sorry guys, the REAL difference is that the Revell kit passes the K.I.S.S. test. The clue was clearly printed on the box: 40 parts. 40! I bought the the kit to use as a paint mule (I recently gave away all my unfinished kits to a fellow here on LSP). It is a simple yet reasonable accurate build that I first built when I was a teenager. (The larger Hasegawa Bf109s are similar) I liked it very much which is really why I bought it again. Now when I think about it maybe I should go back to building kits I liked. They will not be the best, but perhaps a better base for an enjoyable build? (anyone got the big old 60's Revell Bf109 in the stash?) Edited August 19, 2023 by Hardcore MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The F ? Built it in 1967 when it came out. Later I started collecting them. Had 5 and gave them all away a few years ago when I decided I was never going to build them. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 @MikeMaben I built that and the G back in the day. Both models now long gone, we are talking early 70s after all. I seem to recall that one came out first, then they rehashed the moulds to make the other, but (a) I can't recall if it was F then G, or the other way round, or (b) whether that was what actually happened.

MikeMaben Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hey Mike, yeah the F was released (where I lived in Seattle) in 1967 along with the Spitfire and P-40, then some time later they just added gun bumps and called it a G. Those were the days. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggz Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I remember my dad building that F back in the early 70s when i was a wee nipper.. Was the only 1/32 kit I ever remember him doing.. MikeMaben and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I built that very same 1:48 '109 many, many years ago. While sparse in the 'pit (probably the wheel wells too), it was still a nice little kit. MikeMaben, MikeC and Hardcore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
