Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 2, 2019 Administrators Posted March 2, 2019 Guys, Floyd’s releasing 10 of these long, long, LONG sold out V-14 conversion kits. A few of you asked me about mine, and Floyd is selling 10 on eBay for $50.00 each. Three including mine are sold as of right now. If you want the red V-14 racer conversion, this might be your last chance. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Werners-Wings-Resin-1-32nd-scale-Bf-109V-13-14-Conversion/263919869558?hash=item3d72d99e76:g:lJwAAOSwJFhbkGjK 2
HubertB Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 A racer aircraft .... über cool .... one with a nazi swastika ... not so cool And a (personal) reason to pass, just as I resold my He-100 kit, which I intended to convert to Dieterle’s V-8 ... Hubert 2
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 2, 2019 Author Administrators Posted March 2, 2019 Agreed on that Hubert. But like you I’m a sucker for a racers so I try to overlook the swastika 2
Martinnfb Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 hank you for the heads up Ernie. I would love to see Floyd producing 209 V1. That would be nice. Regarding swastika, I believe the historical value is tremendous , especially on a "civilian" aeroplane. Propaganda is powerful weapon as we tend to forget easily . 1
HubertB Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 No arguing with that, Martinn. But, in my personal standards, there won't ever be an aircraft with Nazi swastikas in my home. Full stop. Each to his own. Hubert 6
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 2, 2019 Author Administrators Posted March 2, 2019 I respect that as well. I’m the same way with Japanese Army stuff. What they did to Nanking is unforgivable. 4
TJTX Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Just ordered mine. Been looking for a civilian build! 4
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 2, 2019 Author Administrators Posted March 2, 2019 1 hour ago, TJTX said: Just ordered mine. Been looking for a civilian build! Yep. I built one about 7 years ago as one of my first builds and my very first conversion kit. Let’s just say I keep it as example of how far I’ve come since then.... 4
TJTX Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Of course, after I purchased it I realized I had a G-10 kit and had to go order an E-3. Oh well, I've needed a civilian build and this is perfect. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 3, 2019 Author Administrators Posted March 3, 2019 Get the Eduard E.1 weekend. Profipac is good too. Just remember, get G-Factor gear. Those towering Eduard gear look odd 3
TJTX Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Picked up an E-3 profipack. I'll grab the gear as well unless I cut down the kit gear. 3
TJTX Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Mine arrived in the mail today. What a beautiful set!! I am moving this project to the top of my build pile as soon as the kit arrives. 4
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 8, 2019 Author Administrators Posted March 8, 2019 Yep, I received mine as well. Tony, with your attention to detail, you'll clobber this kit. Because you need to remove all guns and military equipment, the E-3 is a bit more work to backdate, but should work well. I need to grab a couple more as well. I have an E-1, but it's earmarked for an early Jumo powered, two bladed prop conversion. 3
