Looking good Mark. What happened to number 3?

Mark Sherwood
Cheers mate. Ah, the usual John. Eduardargh frustrating, over complicated, instructions random at.best (I'm reasonably intelligent, but Cheez) i.e. interior parts that need fitting roundabout cockpit build, four pages towards the back. It was a good looking 109 F too that's one of the frustrating things. And then there's me if it gets to the point were it's not going right then it gets binned. To date I've only completed one Eduardargh kit, the Fw190 A8/R2 and that was a bugga'

John
Ah, the classic Eduard fiddly bits. They do seem to have more of those than other kit brands (has anyone ever actually finished a "weekend edition" in a weekend?). No doubt they look good but dealing with it all can rapidly deplete the precious mojo if you're not in the mood. Tamiya-gawa seems to be the sweet spot of decent fit, acceptable detail and looks "good enuf" when finished. I like to detail as much as the next plastic fanatic but sometimes it's nice to reset by bashing one together and getting to the good part, painting!

Mark Sherwood
Agree John. Exasperation seems to kick in, that Fw 190 was a weekend build that went on far too long. I find with any kit, detailing in the cockpit seems to get lost on close up. I tend now to dry fit see what can be seen and work from there. Mind you I've had fit issues (minimal though) with Tamiya and Hasegawa due to the age of the kit, but overcome in less time it takes to apply photo etch. The frustrating thing with Eddie is the kits look good it is the depletion of enthusiasm as you build it and they do look good on completion. Enuff' misery. Happy Modelling my Mate.

A classic!

Mark Sherwood
Agreed mate, I've got the others in the stash too, i.e. P-47 & P-51. Thanks for the like too.

John
Nothing more frustrating than airbrush hassles due to paint.

Tamiya/MrHobby is great but the color range issue, yeah.

Check these mixes out though, they're pretty close.

Aman S.
Following for ideas on the 109

Mark Sherwood
Cheers Aman. I wouldn't if I were you. The chances are, it maybe inaccurate, things break off, you shout at the cat, dog, wife, wall, kit, daughter, yer mate, yer mates cat, anyone/thing within earshot through frustration and ineptitude. Finally collapsing to the floor crying "I could of been a Verlinden, if only I'd started at three years old" 🤟🥸👍🤣🤘🤣🖖

Mark Sherwood
Cheers Fabrice for the like. 👍

When I got a photo showing a Pz. I towing a Ju-87, possibly on an airfield in North Africa, I definetely want to build that scenery. The Pz. I is a mix of parts from S-Model Pz. I Ausf. A and B, the Ju-87 is Italeri. I bought some Quickboost add on parts which are designed to fit the Airfix kit, but with slightly modifications they although fit quite well the Italeri kit.
Happy Modelling, Christian
