DoubtingmangoThat engine is stunning! I've had my eye on this kit for a long time. Love to hear your thoughts on it when you're done

Igor KondrashenkovKit is absolutely fantastic. parts so nicely fits together ... minimum sanding work no issues with clear parts fitting (although clear plastic is a bit soft in my opinion, so requires extra care).. detailing is amazing, (almost 450 parts plus I've used several photoetched sets mostly for interior, which added more realism), very thin and crisp panel lines and rivets - ... model is almost finished, so I can surely recommend it ... several words about the engine - it is very detailed and can be done with a great level of realism., so it could easily be treated as a separate model kit 🙂

William JoelPaulo - very nice job. Question - how did you make the water / waves for the dio? Material list please.

Thomas KolbThe water splashing and frothing around the vessel is superbly done! I only wish you had posted some step by step descriptions and photos for us to learn.

NicolasOh, a kit from my favorite area of interest. I'm in. Great start with the instrument panel.

Michael KohlLike the plane and the livery you are going for.
My two cents on one or two aspects: I found the brass undercarrige and the cockpit section you listed as aftermarket pretty useless. The undercarriage doesn´t solve the problem to ease the alignment of the landing gear and the cockpit section doesn´t provide any better detail than the kit parts. I set both aside and rescribed the soft outlines of the cockpit doors. Pouring transparent resin into the cabin windows gave a nice flush appearance. You may consider that.
Good luck with your build. I will follow with keen interest.

Stephan FässlerThanks Michael and Nicolas. As my second kit to build, I thought I spice it up a bit with some aftermarket stuff, indeed, the new cabin with the new windows gave me some head scratching as to how install it, then figured it eventually out. My alignment looks a bit messy and I hope u can make it look aligned with putty etc… so far my opinion as an inexperienced builder is that you could safely leave it stock, as is….
I did not come yet to the brass parts and hope it will be better with these parts. Let's see 🙂

Thomas KolbI am happy to take a seat! I personally find red liveries extremely difficult to pull off, so I am watching with great interest!

Łukasz GlińskiFollowing this challenge.
The Aerocraft cockpit will require a lot of sanding, but the original windshield is definitely too narrow - been there, done that 🙂

Erwin LeetinkThanks Gorby!
I found out that I managed to get the tracks on reversed. So I switched them around and, while at it, shortened them by one link.

Thomas KolbThat's a lovely finish! I really like that you weathered the decals too, especially the large "284".

Moreno BaruffiniI agree with the above, a super clean assembly and a very precise livery!

John MulhallThank you for the kind comments and likes. This was a rescue build of a kit that I had started 20 years ago, and boxed it up when I was sent overseas. Tamiya's BF 109E is still a great build. I really using Flory Dark Dirt Wash as a pin wash and "popping" it with an enamel oil filter.
10 July, 08:29
HansYes, very nice. It's convincing that it looks dusty without excessive weathering.

Ben MHow did you shade the ribs like that? Beautiful build of an old kit. The wheels are a remarkable illusion. Did you 3d print them?
8 July, 23:11
JoachimThank you guys! The wings were just painted one colour, the "shading" is the surface detail of the kit. Wheels were transparent mouldings with the orignal Inpact boxes and I painted only tyres.
Later reissues moulded them opaque.
Inpact was high-tech of the sixties and I still rate them among the best fabric covered model airplanes.
Cheers Joachim
