Administrators James H Posted February 27, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi guys, Here's a pictorial of my build to convert the Eduard Bf 109E to the rather snazzy looking 109V-7 prototype. This Jumo-engine machine wasn't fitted with armament etc, and has the earlier wing with the extended slats. I hope you like her: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Oh yes, excellent choice, those early 109's do have character. Clean and nice hacking. Cees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Fantastic! Another early 109, my "B" is coming soon but your Eduard has a lot nicer detail than the Classic Airframe version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Did I miss James or what color did you use for the paint? That has almost a SCW era look to it but the markings are more for home defense. I know many consider the early 109's (used in Spain) to be almost a NMF but a little more "primerish" in it's patina. Very wise to convert a better detailed kit like this into a "Jumoschimtt", love the surgery you performed, not much room for errors on a 1/32. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted March 6, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'll have to remember the colour mix I used, but it was something like 70% RLM02, and 30% light grey, to get that specific shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Love this 109! I have a couple of the Alley Cat conversions for early 109's and will definitely refer to this thread when the time comes to build them! Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted March 8, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hi Doug, First, real nice to see you at LSM! The AlleyCat conversions do fit real well, but you need to measure a 1000 times and glue once when it comes to the matching profiles of the bulkhead and the new nose. You notice I didn't follow the constructional sequence too, with regards to adding the wing before the nose? The one suggested just seemed too illogical.
