i love the finish - your stuff is always tops in that regard!
PCM kits in UK are either unobtainable or unobtainably expensive, so this is really the first time i have seen one of these built well, painted well and photo'd well
one question: what is the cowling flap part(s) like? the definition looks rather vague, as i can see where some wash 'held' and in other parts it presumably got wiped away because the parts were not moulded sharp enough?
thanks for sharing your excellent work!

beautiful as ever
may i ask which mag?
-
there is a comparison pic of these, revell, Hassy and G-Factor all together over on LSP - the Eduard ones look *extremely* compressed compared with the other three
any thoughts chaps?
-
what an awesome start!
i just love research driven threads like this
out of interest (and I suppose having Son of Sherman book I should know, but...) what identifies the tank with all the track over it as a Sherman V?
the angle is quite shallow so you can't really (to my eye) readily see the enlarged gap between the suspension bogies...
it is a VERY cool looking tank though!
cheers again for a very entertaining read

although i am not a fan of these US Spits, i really like the finish you have achieved
the dusty but not too over the top weathering looks just right to m eye
thank you for sharing

wonderful!
i must get to building these kits i have in mys stash
-
hey Steve
hope all is well and that you can come back soon
Nick

my point was the photos look exactly like the parts that i have handled in the past (and still have cowl ring and maybe other stuff in stash)
but if they are sharper in person then fair enough
-
hey Jim
i don't have the kit (yet!) but this would be one of the things i would look to correct
more of a commercial suggestion to Eduard than anything else, as I am sure others will bring part out - just that Eduard have it ready to go, so might as well take advantage etc etc
-
looks tip top
the cockpit is very sharply cast indeed cf the Eagle Editions Dora...
gun cowling:
will Eduard release this part on its own as a cheaper correction option for the Revell part, which I understand is not as good as it could be?
-
exceptional work and a joy to follow the build
thank you Rick!

firstly, i have used all these sets i think apart from the props on my Dora build, and was very satisfied
but if i am honest - and i may be flogged for saying so - the casting is indeed exactly the same standard as when these products came out many moons ago, and standards of the best in the industry have moved along since then
now maybe the stuff is way sharper in real life than in the (admittedly excellent quality) pictures, but the casting does look a tad 'vague' compared with what Roy Sutherland and the AMUR Reaver (Russian dude 109 stuff) are producing
i also find their stuff punishingly expensive in UK when compared to Roy's stuff of similar volume / complexity
still, for things like the cowling and nose ring, they are the only game in town
-
great stuff!

i never realised there was cutting work to be done with this conversion
many thanks

wonderful!
an aircraft from this squadron is definitely on my 'to do' list, and i hope it will turn out even half as good as yours!
thank you for sharing with us

hi Mal
the Spit looks beautiful
one question: should it have the IFF antennae coming out of the fuselage?
I thought these only started to be fitted at the end of September / early October, and so would not be seen on most BoB Spits?
Aerials and antennae are a bit confusing I must admit many pictures are not clear enough
thanks again for sharing!
Nick

thanks Dave!
is that thinned with Mr Levelling thinner?
yeah i had a VERY strange occurrence with rattle can super clear gloss over mr hobby paints, over mr hobby surfacer 1500 - the gloss seemed to drag the anzer grey pain away from primer around raised surfaces eg rivets and such like
the effect was actually pretty cool, but should in no way take place!
i said to Jim i will try decanting into cup then airbrushing next time and see what happens - i have just spent $60 on buying loads of rattle can stuff from Seal Models
anyway, back to your very cool 109!
-
i love the crispness of the propeller!
-
nice Dave
what do you use as clear coat for decal base?
as Jim will know, i have had some very unexpected (unwanted) results with Mr Hobby Super Clear on top of Mr Hobby paints
can't believe i will have to - if you'll pardon the phrase - go 'Back to the Future'!
-
i couldn't resist coming back to these and looking at the pictures again
WHAT a beauty!
I had always thought that if ever i do get one of these monsters (the lanc is the one I am holding out for really), that it would be the upcoming F model
however, looking at what you have produced here, I think that if budget / successful bank robberies permit, i might dive in for a G too!
