a.raglan555 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Pre-warning: the BF109 kit is justย a shoot, poor in everything! ๐ The other days, I came across a 1/48 BF109 and aย 1/48 US Willys Jeep snap-fit and pre-colored kitsย in a flea market. They were being sold by USD3 together. Considering the price, I took them with me home. $1.5 for each, why not try? After checking inside again at home, I found the aircraft is a disaster, but the Willys kit looks ok. I decided to build them to get my $3's worth and share with you all. ๐ Edited August 16, 2022 by a.raglan555 wrong spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 I decided to start from the toy-like BF 109. So after suffering from the torture of the shoot, I might get some sweet from the Willys.ย ๐ These are sprues and instruction. It's easy, so no need to read any words. Ignoring details and quality, I decided to build it as it is.๐ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 This is the interior details of the cockpit, including a seat, a control stick and an instrument board.ย Well, I never saw any kit with such blur details. ๐ ย But it's only $1.5 toy. What can I ask for more?๐ค Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 Wheels built...a little bit weird, but it's less than $1.5 worth of wheels, I decided to forgive them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) The bomb...it has many scratches on surface, and there is a huge seam after fitting together! I tried to fill the gap, failed. I might try some putty later... Edited August 16, 2022 by a.raglan555 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 next is the wings, it comes in almost one piece, just need to add the other one. But the they do not fit together, so I trimmed some burrs and extra pins. It still not fit well, so I glued them! Much better now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 The fuselage is a shoot too. It comes in two pieces. Very easy to combine together, but there is also big seam after fitting. After put the seat in, I glued fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.raglan555 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 I added wheels and combined wings with fuselage. They do not fit with each other well. So I did some trimming and add glue to put them together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
