Question for OP:
What brand might be selling vacuum formed clear parts? Seems like you found some as seen in photo #11. I've seen some for airplane/jet canopies, but none for cars, so I wouldn't know where to look.

Hey Treehugger, the parts in the picture are part of the kit. But funny that you mention this topic because I actually dealt with this question myself recently. I finished two 964s earlier this year (Revell and Fujimi) and the clear parts in both kits were of very poor quality. Searched for aftermarket replacement and found nothing. So I decided to try myself at vacuforming and made the clear parts myself which turned out to be pretty decent (after countless tries and errors) I have not posted pictures of the builds yet but intend to, keep an eye open. You are right, there is definitely a lack of aftermarket windshields for cars...

Alexander, I'm really sorry about this mishap!
They show us the difference between a normal modeller and a master modeller: mishaps happen to both, but with you there's nothing to see afterwards!

If you only knew how many car models I had to repaint! I honestly think most of them, partly or in whole. It is a rarity a paintjob succeeds at the first try. I don`t even call them "mishaps". Just "happy little accidents" like Bob Ross 😄

Exactly, the lullaby channel😄 no, the guy was really great.
But on the topic of repaintings again, I actually counted the car models which are right now in my home. There are a total 16 on display and I had to redo the paintjob on 9 of them! Partly or in whole. So that is actually not the exception but the rule 👍

Anyway, your car paint jobs here on SM are the reference for me, no kidding!
Thank you also very much for the detailed description about used paints, 2K stuff and thinners etc in your build logs 👍
Fortunately, I don't normally need such high-gloss finishes, but I have helped other modellers (no SM members - yet) several times by pointing them to your build reports.
Thank you very much, your documentation effort is highly appreciated!

Alexander, fantastic work!Really like the painting jobs, the "leather" seats and car body. And the whole process is well documented, I leant a lot. Will add this page to my favorite, as I need to go through all these pictures before I build my next car. Thank you for sharing.

Lorraine, you are welcome!
Mr D, I must admit I had to google what "Rudge wheels" are. but it seems to be an own VW/Porsche design that differs from Rudge wheels. USCP sells them separately too.
Landlubber Mike, my pleasure!

Thank you for showing how you attach the small PE (like name badges) on the body. I'm stuck on a couple of cars at the moment trying to figure out what to do as I was worried about using CA and causing the same issue you had with your grills. I'll have to pick up some of that Micro Liquitape.

Thx guys! Mike, CA leaves absolutely no room for error, found this glue to be just perfect for the job.

I gotta admit, I'm gonna have to get some of that Liquitape. It certainly does the job. I do however, wonder if it lasts? We've all glued bits back on, that have fell off our models, just from age alone? You would have to carefully replace it, so as not to upset the paint?

Can anyone confirm if this set will indeed be a Dual Combo like the prior Gustav Limited Series OR will this one be an exception to include 3 separate Bf-109s?

There is zero info out even from Eduard - in fact not even pt 3 last time I checked. But I would bet that pt 4 would likely follow the previous kits trend - so go for duel.
Edit I checked and nothing even for pt 3
Should be the last edition! At least for the 1/72 Gustav
If you really want to know you can fire a mail of to Eduard - they do respond

Thank you guys for the interest and patience with my never ending typos 🙂
I am of course not the first one to build this kit in the IDF version, but I am trying my own approach.
@Mr D: I am using Xtreme Metal paints. Their Aluminium and Duraluminium are by far my favorites among many other I tried in the last years. Both need no thining and can be used directly out of the bottle. The metallic paints from Xtreme Metal are compatible with Alclad metallics, where my first choices for "Steel" and "Jet Exhaust" are. So you can mix both brands for shading. I am using the Mr. Hobby Thinner, since especially the Alclad Steel is thick and more pretentious. Otherwise regarding the Vallejo metallics, although I experimented quite much with acrylics, nobody managed so far to convice me that spraying acrylics has any advantage over the other "dark side" (other than smell). The Vallejo Silver is indeed the best metallic paint I have found so far that can be applied by brush (for small details or minor chipping). It settles well without waves or protuberances maintaining a good shine (if applied properly). Otherwise, I would personally never think of applying acrylic metallics by airbrush. But there is certainly a reason why some people are still trying that, just that I personally don't know the secret recipe.

Hi Marius 👋😃👍
Thanks for the info, be really helpful .
I'm trying to learn about paint and techniques....and advice like this is appreciated 👍
I only purchased an airbrush about a year ago.
Yes the Velejo silver brush paints really well.
What size needle jet do you use for the Extreme metrics?? and general use ?
Thanks

Nice work on those stripes.
I share your frustration regarding Print Scale lack of research, they are also pretty hard to apply, especially small stencil sized decals.
I tend to avoid the brand these days.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your build, it's gonna be a stunner.
