Rodney Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just finished the Eduard Bf 109G-6 in 1/48. This was from the original release that was slightly sized wrong. Most of the marking are painted on using masks I made with the Cameo. The decals for the eyes gave me some trouble and I ended up painting the red around the edge. Weathering was done with oils and pigments. I still need to practice with both. I struggled with some of the photo-etch. Not completely happy with this build but happy to be done! Feedback welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Very cool looking Rodney. Question, how was the construction process? Decent or difficult? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, it's a good kit. There are a few places that could be improved or I need to be better at.... The exhaust are fitted prior to glueing the fuselage halves together. On the next one I build, I'll try to modify the exhaust to be painted and glued on at the end. The split flaps were a pain to glue on. I saw a suggestion where to glue the top flap to the top half of the wing and bottom flap to the bottom prior to glueing the wings together. Eduard supplies a photo-etch piece that simulates the spring that holds the canopy in the open position. The part was either way too short or I had it too far open. I'm not sure if any of this changed on when Eduard re-engineered the kit. Thanks, Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
