is it windy yet? Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looking forward to this one, and the subsequent releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daryl J. Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It's on my to-purchase list.And detail-oriented men discussing with emotion and supposition instead of raw data and fact are on my to-avoid list.Sounds win-win! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 And a Mustang I, P-51, A, B & C (with and w/o fin fillet) to complete the series As for the 109, would parts for one of the recce variants and/or one or more Slovak marking options be too much to hope for? ICM made the camera and camera fairing for a late F4 and G series 109. Been on the hunt for quite awhile myself as the kit is currently out of production. But on the otherhand Quickboost does the fairing in 1/32, but no camera. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scvrobeson Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Maybe they'll release a trainer version of it. That is something I would buy in a heartbeat. If this is to the same quality level as the Spitfire and MiGs, I will be one happy camper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hal Marshman Sr Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 According to the 3-D mocki up Eduard has shown over on Hyperscale, the fuselage top does have that inaccurate curvature. Hal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tbolt Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 According to the 3-D mocki up Eduard has shown over on Hyperscale, the fuselage top does have that inaccurate curvature. Hal What's actually wrong with the curve? I haven't seen the 'E' in person as I don't own one, is it just overdone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGB Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hello, Nothing is wrong take a look here, http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Eduard/Campaign/Bf109G-6/T-29/Bf109G-6_Recherche/Edu_Bf109G-6_Recherche.html Couple pics down. Cheers Boris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

S1b Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I am tired of more of the same... Hopefully, one of these days a company will bring out quality interwar/golden age planes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 But a 109 will sell 10,000:1 over the most well done golden age/interwar biplane. And in fact, Eduard *has* done one of the single best interwar biplane kits ever - the Avia B.534. It's a **gorgeous** kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Modelmkr Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Snip I'm not a fan of airplanes from the time of World War II... If you'll just step up to this wooden stake atop this pile of wood, sir, the fire will be along shortly... ;) Marc B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 And in fact, Eduard *has* done one of the single best interwar biplane kits ever - the Avia B.534. It's a **gorgeous** kit. Agreed, I bought two even though I don't know of any sharkmouth schemes (it does have that look to its nose though). Looking at the sprue shots, I don't see the hunch back, unless I need new prescriptions for my eyeglass lenses. Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kohona Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I hope they rework the closed cowling issues. engine had to be hacked up to have the cowling closed in their 1/48 Emils. why would you have to even bother with the engine if you were closing the cowlings anyways?

mawz Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 why would you have to even bother with the engine if you were closing the cowlings anyways? The engineering of the Emil made it extraordinarily difficult to attach the propeller robustly without the engine in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robertson Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 According to the 3-D mocki up Eduard has shown over on Hyperscale, the fuselage top does have that inaccurate curvature. Hal I agree, but hopefully it is just an adjusted/forced CAD perspective, or something that has been corrected since... And for those who think that there are too many of those, just consider that the last "state of the art" Gustav attempt is a quater century old, and that the Gustav is 70%+ of the entire Me-109 production...

Robertson What are we talking about here? Are you saying that the fore/aft curve is wrong, or the profile over the top (viewed from aft) looks wrongs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Just as in that Czech show (http://www.detailsca...lease-8268.html ) where Mr.Sulc was showing off the new Me-109 in a weeks time the plastic test sprues will be there for all to see at the Moson show in Hungary too. So drop in on the weekend April 12-13 and have a look at the real thing, the plastic test sprues and not only the CAD images to make judgement!

dragonlance Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Seeing the fuselage sprue today, there is only one beule. And we know there were more styles... and the 3D advert says "accurate beule". Which one? Not holding my breath... Vedran Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm fairly certain Eduard knows there is more than one kind of bulge. And it clearly states there are many parts missing from the sprues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robertson Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) What are we talking about here? Are you saying that the fore/aft curve is wrong, or the profile over the top (viewed from aft) looks wrongs? It is the profile front-back of the spine that is in question, not the right-left cross-section. Newly published side views of the sprues are, unfortunately, not convincing either: They confirm the excessive curvature of the spine profile, if you look right at the sprue attachment point area, and past the text trying to obscure the rest... I fear there is more going on as the diagonal rear canopy outline seems extremely tall...: There is still the incoming Zvezda Me-109G: That one at least will settle the issue once and for all. Even so, as soon as the Eduard kit comes out, anyone will be able to put it next to the benchmark Zvezda Me-109F, which already exists, and so we will know right away. My cardiologist would probably prefer that mentions of the Hasegawa Me-109F/G/Ks (in any scale) be kept separate from sentences related to incoming Me-109 releases... Robertson P.S. Agree with Vedran that the recessed cowl bulge location is not a plus... The outline varied and now we are stuck with just one...

I don't own either the Eduard 1/32 or 1/48 scale Emil and I know the 1/32 one had a 'humpback' problem but I thought it had been fixed on the 1/48 one. If there is any distortion in that photo of the fuselage then that curve is going to look worse than it is, I guess we will only really know when someone gets it in their hands but if it is a bit over done I guess it's not to difficult to sand it down a bit.

vesthepes Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) The engineering of the Emil made it extraordinarily difficult to attach the propeller robustly without the engine in place. It would also be difficult to attach the exhaust pipes without the engine in place. It is necessary to put it in and to trim it to close the cowling. Other than this IMHO the kit is great...

Of course this looks like this will not be a problem with the 'G' as the cowlings are molded closed, with only the gun trough as seperate piece, so it should all fit well.
