The ejection seat was detailed with PE parts.

Desert Marlin
Ground based C-RAM is also pretty coo. This kit looks like a great piece of work!

Łukasz Gliński
Another build of this shopping trolley with a rotor? I'm in! 👍

Nicolas
watching

David Smith
I hadn't seen Konrad's build! I'm not promising the same attention to detail.

Watching.

Nicolas
Great looking little bird.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here too.

Stuart Fowle
Looking good 👍

Alex K
I'm in - of course...

Michael Kohl
I only and sincerely hope that you quadruple checked your references that the original plane didn't have an "Airfix" molded on the cockpit side walls - lest you have to scratch new ones. 😉

Łukasz Gliński
My heart broke when I had to do it 😁

Nicolas
I'm in. Got the Airfix kit and the Pavla detail set in my stash, but I'm thinking about replacing it with the AVI kit. I think your report will be a big help there.

Cuajete
Great! The Bird Dog Society has begun. I have felt a great disturbance in the Force, but I remembered that Łukasz is a great tamer of hard plastics 😉

It looks like those photo-etches are doing a good job 👌

Alex K
So... if the AVI kit is destined for the representation of Major Buang-Ly's plane... I'm also eager to see what the Airfix kit will be...

Łukasz Gliński
You're absolutely right Alex - AVI's going to be Major's BirdDog and Airfix is destined to be boxart DJ-coded one.
I was thinking of Maltese markings for it, but there are none available.
Cuajete, the PE are quite good, but the Airwaves set has quite unclear hand-drawn instructions, which is challenging sometimes.
Nicolas, wish I could fetch the Pavla tail set, I need to try restoring the raised lines after having to remove the injection marks.

Nicolas
I'd wish there would be a conversion kit to a Siai SM 1019. But I think I have to scratchbuild the different cowling, propeller and tailsection.

I'm in!

Terve! 😛

Interesting project, I'm watching!

Watching too.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome mates 👍

Clement
Nice project, I'll take a chair and follow along 🙂

CaptGPF
Holy cow! I didn't think it were even possible to make a sub kit that big! following!

Skyhiker
Okay, let's do this!

Doubtingmango
Epic!!!

Bohrmann
👀 Following with interest.

John
Will you be having to rent a boat slip to store this beast?

Jan Hoos
Hahahahah no John, i will place it at the wall when finished. The wall is ready for it as you can see in the album

John
That will look cool up there, just make sure it's secure as it might give you a concussion if it falls on you!

Björn Svedberg
Definitely grabbing a chair for this one! 🙂

Gerald
👍 😉

Christian
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! 🙂
