airscale Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Well hello again, I have come up with a new set... I had a poll, I took the pulse, I had many learned responses and I chose to ignore all of them..(for now). I wanted to try what the kit people do and bang out 'another 109' so I can feed my family too.. In the coming weeks I will be getting this ready for production and for now I just have the test shots, so many things don't fit as they should or print correctly, but nonetheless I thought I would share the general direction of travel.. As with the Devastator there will be a main stand alone set of PE & interior decals, with optional 3D 'kick up a notch' extras.. The cockpit has new bulkheads, trim wheels, correct floor, rudder pedals and options for a new seat with no moulded belts and a gubbins set with a new throttle, oxygen control and Revi gunsight.. ..there is also a full etched canopy etc with an option to mke your own glaxed centre section.. ..the wings (and chin) get new radiators, better detail covering a horrible gap and the fabric liners... ..new wheels (& tailwheel) - a number of options including for later G series.. ..new U/C door outer liners.. ..and finally hollow & accurate exhausts... so, that wraps it up - despite a few flaws this is a £32 Me109 kit that I think with some help can be really competitive Will share more as it develops and anyone who has built the kit or has any further suggestions I would love to hear from you TTFN Peter Fanes, Kagemusha, rafju and 20 others 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Del - yes, definately by Telford - hopefully in 3-4 weeks. just waiting on a second test shot after some changes which should be here by the end of the week, then 3 weeks production Have added a few bits, so there will be an exhaust & gun 3D set, a cockpit details 3D set and a couple of wheels sets with tailwheel guns.. canopy explosive release added to the details set tailwheel ..will pop up some pics of all the 3D parts when finished TTFN Peter Martinnfb, Kagemusha, Uncarina and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Looks very Nice indeed Peter and you are forcing me to buy another G2 kit Those 3D parts look really nice particularly the throttle quadrant, seat and oxygen system will save loads of work. Have you thought about including a set of your excellent harnesses in with the main cockpit etch set? Regards.

Thanks, Jim Hey Jim - well we ship worldwide so the day of release. I am not sure yet about putting the 3D stuff out to retailers like Sprue Bros as they are not stand alone packaged (just bagged with built in protection), they need the boxes we ship in really anyways, may add a control column to the details set, just test printing a few now..

Peter I can see that's a tricky one on including your own belts due to an increase in price point but if you buy this set then a set of belts are required as well. For me personally I would be happy with a cockpit set including the belts and would expect to pay accordingly. Nice control column by the way and if its anything like your Browning set for the Devastator then the fidelity of detail would be excellent! Regards.

James Rademaker Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I have an additional question, regarding your terrific 109 update. Are you selling them as a package or can you purchase individual components? Thanks, Jim airscale and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards. Andy Thats a good shout actually Andy - would simplify things thank you I am starting a rework tomorrow as I now have an 'experten' on board, there are some changes needed I am thrilled though because it means this set will be bang on for this variant, and I must admit it has been a minefield to navigate the fit out for these G2/G4 birds Peter Uncarina, monthebiff, D.B.
