Seemed like a good idea but it made the pedals weak and they broked when I cutted them from the sprue.

Thanks you all, hopefully I'll receive the PE parts this week. Until then, this project is on hold.

You did an excellent job on the cockpit. I bought a Fujimi 1/48 F-4E a couple of years ago. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and it had no cockpit detail, only a floor and 2 planks for seats. I managed to shoehorn the cockpit out of an old Revell F-4 into it. Other than no cockpit detail it was a nice kit. I would like to get my hands on their 1/72 FU-7 Cutlass though.

Thanks Clifford. I was quite surpised too when I saw the interior parts. Thank god there a lot of Eduard's build pictures on this website😉 . I used theses has refrence to build the interior. The other complain I would have with this kit is the softness of the resin. It was soft & had an oily texturee. I found it made the riveting harder since it would not produce crisp details. I like dry & hard plastic better.

Good thinking on the fitting of the revell interior. I tried to find it in your projects, but,man, do you have a lot of completed projects!

It is the one with the picture of me sitting in my recliner with my dog on my shoulder. LOL.

The build is finished. I should have applied putty in the curved panel line bellow the canopy. The panels splits are different for the Bf109G-14 variants vs the Bf109G-14AS & later variants. Unfortunately, I discovered that after having applied the clear coat. I should have done a bit more researches instead of relying on the instructions sheet.

It's a nice kit. I really like the RLM 82 on 75 combination. Much more lively that the 74 on 75.

Looks very nice Guillaume.

Nicely done Guillaume. I like the 82 & 75 camo colors too 🙂
