ajcmac Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 This will be my first model this forum. A Bf 109 E1 of Eduard on the scale 1/32.The model. The sprues. Decals, mask, PE and transparencies. This is the scheme that I like but I have a model with the same scheme in 1/48 scale. So, maybe go choose this. Regards ajcmac 2
One-Oh-Four Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Hi ajcmac, Nice subject matter! I'm very interested how it'll turn out! The 1/48 version does look very good, so I have high hopes! Regards, Erik.
Dave J Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 This will be fun! I love these Eduard Kits! even if others don't! A couple of tips that I found that eased a lot of the issues people seem to have are - Add a strip of plastic on the upper and lower halfs of the fuse. This will aid the locating them in place as the pins are very tiny - and add small strips on the nose on both sides to locate the upper cowling if you are not displaying the engine, as per my really bad art work! Hope that helps!
DougN Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Also, stealing Dave's photo, get rid of the seam as indicated as it is not there in the real thing - just some rivets. And do a little surgery on the slats: And you'll have an excellent model! Doug
Administrators James H Posted July 16, 2013 Administrators Posted July 16, 2013 Looking forward to seeing this one. I quite like the Eduard 109 too. Already built two last year, with one a conversion to a V13
nmayhew Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 My love for the Emil will overcome the frowns and frustration that Eduard's rendition brings out in me The guys have you well covered here and I am sure it will turn out great - God even my two Eduard 109s look ok despite my fumbling attempts! Cheers Nick
mikec Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Greetings Ajcmac; ........................................... Mike
ajcmac Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Thank you all for your comments and for the errors of the model and solutions.Initially I was not thinking about leaving the engine sight. Now go get the engine cover open. Avoid problems fitting and will follow all of your instructions.Thank you. I painted the interior of the landing gear wells RLM 02 (Tamiya XF-22). Now weathering. Again thank you for your information. Regards ajcmac
ajcmac Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Have finished doors and wells of the landing gear ... side panels ... and fireproof (I suppose that's what it's called) and the engine mounts. Regards ajcmac
Dave J Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Looks great! What did you use to highlight the RLM02?
ajcmac Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Looks great! What did you use to highlight the RLM02? XF-22 with XF-05. XF-22 (1) and XF-05 (XF-05) and about 80% of thinner. Regards ajcmac
ajcmac Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 More advances.Control panel. The office of the pilot. The engine. Missing the exhaust pipes. A fit test. Regards ajcmac 1
Matt_ Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Great stuff Particularly impressed with the instrument panels.... Matt
efrick Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Very nice so far! I built this kit soon after it came out, and I seem to remember having a terrible time with the cowling (I built it "buttoned up" without the engine). Can't wait to see how this one turns out!
ajcmac Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 Fix the problem of "slats??". I glued the tabs to the fuselage. Finished interiors. The motor with exhaust pipes. A fit test. Regards ajcmac 1
Chris S Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Taking shape ajcmac I like the cockpit work ...very nice . Chris.
ajcmac Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 Thanks Chris S. I glued the fuselage. Fit right (thanks Dave J) with the exception of the lower engine cover. Attempting to rectify. Let's see what comes out. Before. Later. Regards ajcmac
ajcmac Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Air intake already repaired. I will then apply a primer to see if all is well. After redo some rivets and panels lines. I glued the wings and horizontal stabilizers. Now more putty and sanding. Regards ajcmac
NOVAModeler Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Looking great! I'm working on the 1:48 E-1 - does it also have the mistake with the slats?
ajcmac Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 Looking great! I'm working on the 1:48 E-1 - does it also have the mistake with the slats? NOVAModeler I suppose it is. I compared the size of the Eduard model with a model of Tamiya (109 E4) and Eduard reality slats are larger. Regards ajcmac
