Wow, some really outstanding work there!

Looking for some advice. Used these for the first time and my usual method of hitting them with the hair dryer and then a little Mr. Mark Softer didn't work too well. Any input on getting good results with these?

Eduard needs to jump back into the 1/32 109 arena....
Mikester replied to Mikester's topic in Modelling Discussion
Steve, That's what's killing me right now, a $25 kit that needs another $25 of after-market to get it up to speed. The one example I built with the kit supplied landing gear has already collapsed. $15-$20 for Eduard Brassin gear legs unless I can come up with a way to beef up Revell's silly design for the struts. $15 or so for new cowl beule and and upper cowl section to correct the MG spacing. There are some other less glaring issues that most people wll live with but you and I won't. I love the versatility of the kit and the amount of options it gives you but it's far from perfect and the bargain basement price means that no one will attempt another 1/32 109 for the forseeable future. -

Well you guys are just full of good news! Not surprising though. Will Tamiya EVER give us a 1/32 Luftwaffe bird? -

Gorgeous build, Tom! -
Been seeing lots of really impressive 1/48 109 builds of the new Eduard kits. They really need to upscale these to 1/32. I thought they had plans to do the whole 109 family in 1/32 at one point, I think maybe they were a little put off by the negative reaction by the Diaperscale crowd to a couple of minor issues on their 1/32 Emil. I still think their Emil is a really good model though and enjoyable to build. The Revell kits are OK but still a disappointment due to a couple of glaring errors (beule size, cowl MG spacing) and questionable engineering (rickety land gear). Trumpeter has some shape issues as well, Hasegawa is IMO the best of the bunch (still) but you have the availability and price issues. I'd love to see the F, G and K with the same subtle riveting Eduard used on their Emil. If they could produce these in the $40 range for a Weekend Edition and $60 for a Profipack I think they'd sell like crazy. If you see Eduard management at a show, tell them!

Looking good so far! Good call on the Brassin landing gear, the one G-6 that I built using the kit parts collapsed after a couple of years on the shelf. -
