A pretty little aircraft, not so well known and there´s only a resin kit on the 32 market. Stefan Second that suggestion- why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete G. Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 If they were to extend the 109 family, there would be a gap to fill with the F model. RBrown and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Hasegawa have a similar ethos to Kotare in that they tend to keep their kits relatively simple and focus on accurate outline and finely executed surface finish.

I also heard the Hasegawa 109K is pretty good. For the record, I haven’t built either yet. Hasegawa already had a 109K but Kotare did one anyway. It seems to me that the Hasegawa 109F doesn’t stay on the shelves long and I’ve only seen the one tropical version of the kit. By gap, I meant there seems to be a gap in supply vs demand. I should have used better wording. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have used better wording. Cheers! Thanks for the clarification. Well, the Hasegawa Kurfurst is a mixed bag. The very weird fat spine and too round spinner are spoiling the look if not corrected. The kit also has a fuselage length issue even if this is not really noticeable on kits without the nose gun "Beule". Such issues also affect the G10. The Friedrich has none of them. I do not even want to mention the Trumpeter K case problems. I think this explains the K initial choice by Kotare. I agree about the supply but I'm afraid Kotare is alas not really better than Hasegawa for that. They rely on the same batch production philosophy. When a kit is OOP you never know when it will come back! Pete G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The Marseille f4 is available for order at HLJ. https://www.hlj.com/1-32-scale-messerschmitt-bf109f-4-trop-hsgst31 But lots of other 1/32 kits are listed as "discontinued". Christa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Assuming they stay with WWII, my guess is a Typhoon. Iconic, big impressive model but still single engined, and like the early Spit and K (I think) a tad underdone in 1/32? Not a ton of variants, but cool load-outs. It isn't on my wish-list, but this is not about that, right? Kels. Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
