Airfix 1/48 Bf109E-1


Recommended Posts

My take on this rather nice kit,finished with aftermarket decals and seatbelts.The RLM colours are Xtracrylix,the yellow Humbrol Acrylic and I think that the RLM65 is a little too dark.Pics were taken with my new Canon SX120IS and the Maplin portable studio.

It looks nice. One small detail: You have 2 canopies. One is rounded, and the panel lines are down the sides of the curve a bit more. One is squared, with the panel lines at the corners. You've mixed the rounded rear canopy (right behind the open hatch) with the squared-off flip-top lid and the squared-off front windscreen.

E-1s would have the rounded canopies, I believe, unless specifically retro-fitted in the field to replace damaged parts.
