I got this kit for a reduced price on a flea-market - due to the fact that the cockpit and seat were missing. The former owner spoiled it or put it aside - I don't know exactly. But it wouldn't be me not taking this challenge. Lets go and scratch an Eurofighther cockpit...

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting challenge

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your interest Lukasz. I joint the fuselage last night & the cockpit did fit 🙂
pics will follow soon.

Nice start., Jürgen.

Excellent cockpit, following! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi mates - thank you for your nice words on my scratch work. Time consuming - but It came along nicely and better than I did expect.

A little late, but watching with pleasure 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome. No worries - it's summertime again (progress is slow ... 😉 )

Harry Eder
Nice scratched cockpit! Watching with interest! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Harry. Welcome.

Good builds so far. u recommend apply panel line washes so the rivets and panel lines pop out a bit more. Your painting is nice and smooth - so the washes will add a nice pop in detail. 😀

NordMito
Thanks 😄 I will try panel washes for my next builds.

Alexander
Agreed, though even without it the paintjob is so smooth that it looks really nice already - keep up the nice work! 👍

NordMito
Thank you very much 😄

Ferenc Sarka

Amazing idea and work can't wait for more 🍿

The project starts with a horror movie where one figure was shot in the back and had to receive a graft. Part of a Trumpeter deformity was transplanted and now he is recovering from his ordeal. The surgeon had to slash the inside with a bayonet and use a syringe full of acid to be able to beat the torso in a comfortable shape.

The RSO engine appears to be very fiddly, I can't seem to get it lined out straight in the frame. Today I was able to attach the tracklink supports and cut the wood for the dio base.

Interesting 👍

Hallo Stefan, hab das selbe Modell im Regal. Bin gespannt wie deine wird, soweit schaut das richtig vielversprechend aus. Und ich bekomme bei deinen Bildern richtig Lust, den Bau der Messerschmitt ebenfalls zu starten!

Christoph Kunz
Nice Idea with the tape and decal combo 👍

Stefan L.
@Christian Hallo Christian, bist jetzt sind mir bei dem Modell keinerlei Probleme aufgefallen, alles passt wunderbar zusammen , kann dir nur empfehlen das Modell zu bauen. Selbst wenn das Modell verglichen mit den neuen Tamiya oder Eduard Modellen weniger Details aufweist, macht es sehr viel Spaß diese Details selber hinzuzufügen und selbst wenn man die Details weglässt, ist das Modell sehr schnell gebaut und für den Preis meiner Meinung nach sehr zu empfehlen. Abgesehen davon sind die meisten neuen Bausätze der BF109 von der G Variante und nicht von der E Variante. Hoffentlich kann ich dich mit meinem Bau inspirieren, dein Modell auch anzufangen 🙂

Stefan L.
@Christoph Kunz thank you!

Christian
Schaut sehr gut aus Stefan! Die Sache mit den Nieten für meine E hat der Vorbesitzer meines Kits mit einem kompletten Satz Nieten Decals von HGW gelöst. Für andere Projekte hab ich auch schon über ein solches riveting Tool nachgedacht?! Hab jetzt einmal geplant, das Modell über den Winter zu bauen. Allerdings will ich vorher noch meine UH-1B und die MH-60K zu Ende bringen, bzw. diese parallel dazu bauen. Bis Mitte November bin ich noch sehr mit unserem Hausprojekt und der Landwirtschaft eingeteilt. Auf alle Fälle bin ich auf das Resultat deiner Bemühungen gespannt!!!

Desert Marlin
My favorite is the Emil variant.

Stefan L.
@Christian Ein solches Nieten Set habe ich auch gesehen aber um ehrlich zu sein, ist es mir nicht wert, den Preis des gesamten Modells noch einmal für Nieten zu zahlen. Gut für dich, dass der Vorbesitzer sie schon gekauft hat, ich würde sie auf jeden Fall benutzen, bin schon gespannt wie deine Emil aussehen wird!

Stefan L.
@Mark Lawrence since this is my first BF109, I'm no expert yet but I also like the Emil just simply due to the fact, that the Gustav variants seem to get build more often, which why I like seeing the Emil instead of yet another Gustav!

Desert Marlin
Those from the Schlachgater are also quite interesting.

Sergej I
Great progress, Stefan 👍

Stefan L.
@Sergej I, thank you so much!

John
Looks great Stefan and nice cockpit. Neat trick on the fishing line, thanks.

Stefan L.
@John thank you for your nice words! Always happy to spread some tips! 🙂

Marcin Dudek
Wow, thanks for the detailed description! I learned a lot only by reding. I'm looking forward for more.

Stefan L.
@Marcin Dudek I really appreciate your comment Marcin! I wasn't expecting that someone really reads all the stuff I write but seems I was wrong! It makes me really happy that you found some useful tips even though this is just my second proper model and I am far from being a somehow experienced modeler. Take care and keep modeling 🙂

John
For the boundaries since it's straight edge you can just touch it up with a post it note pretty easily.

Stefan L.
@John thanks for the tip! I would have masked it again but the post it method is much easier, didn't think of that, thanks alot!

Christophe
Thank you for sharing!

Stefan L.
@Christophe your welcome! Appreciate it and thanks for the comment!

John
Nice mottling Stefan. 👍

Stefan L.
@John thank you very much John!

Doubtingmango
Fantastic build with a great narrative filled with useful tips

Stefan L.
@Doubtingmango thank you for your kind words!

John
Looking really good!

Stefan L.
@John thanks!

Jennifer Franklin
That's a neat trick with the fishing line; lots of great detail on your work. Very nice work so far.

Stefan L.
@Jennifer Franklin thank you for the nice words 🙂 I'm really trying my best and hope that my increased experience will show at the end result, especially when compared to my first ever modelkit, the Eurofighter

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Looking good, especially knowing this is your second build. 1:48 is a good scale to start with. Thumbs up and keep modeling 👍

Stefan L.
@Thomas Haberl thank you very much! 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍

Stefan L.
Thank you!! 🙂 @Guy Rump

Nice job on the exhaust/gun stains. 👍 You are right, you really can't go too thin on that mix. I'm cheap so I just use XF-1 (and other colors for allied planes that used leaded gas) thinned way down with isopropanol and make multiple passes until it looks right. I also add some pastel/pigment to give some body to the stain as well like you suggested. Looking good, Stefan!

Stefan L.
@John thank you!! Tonight I also used black pigment in the core and close to the gun barrels to give the stains a more interesting look, happy with the result, pictures will follow soon! 🙂 And thanks for the tips, appreciate them alot! 🙂
