66Foxtrot Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 This is the Eduard 1/32 Bf-109E-1, built straight OOB. I completed this 2 months ago. It's also the last model I've completed... "Yellow 2", 6./JG 52, Husum, Germany, 1940. Finished with Gunze acrylics & lacquers, Model Master Acryl, and Vallejo acrylics. Light weathering with an acrylic wash in the panel lines.
DennisTennant Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Mighty fine build, Jim. The cockpit looks fantastic.
RONBO Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 James a fine build as always. That is one sweet 109. Journal Article? Please. And welcome back to the lodge. Ronald F.Thorne Jr
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 Hey Whiskey Boy...........with all of the Hoopla over the Glassware, how was the fit??? Mighty fine paint job!!!
Don Flynn Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 You did a nice job on that POS James, I still ain't got a cockpit into mine after 3-4 months
66Foxtrot Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Posted July 11, 2009 Hey Whiskey Boy...........with all of the Hoopla over the Glassware, how was the fit??? Mighty fine paint job!!! The fit is very good, Bun E. Boy....;) All of the hoopla was over the shape of the E-4 canopy. I won't rehash any of it here. As far as I know, the fit of that version is OK, too, but the shape is inherently incorrect. Eduard has listened to the masses, though, and is producing a corrected canopy for the E-4 which will be available this Fall. No word on pricing.
TimHortman Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Nice work. Looks like I may have to pick one of these up afterall!
ghodges Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Excellent Emil! The camo looks sharp and the instruments on the main panel are stunning! Is that the kit panel (painted), or does it come with a decal, or some other type of instrument material? Lovely build! GIL
66Foxtrot Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Posted July 12, 2009 It's all pre-colored PE, Gil. I was sure that IPMS had reviewed this kit, as it's release was pretty major back in February. I don't see it in the Review's list, though. Must've been somewhere else. Swore it was here, though....
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 I can't be sure, but I think Lynn was working on it.
66Foxtrot Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 I can't be sure, but I think Lynn was working on it. I did not know that.....!

I don't see it in the Review's list, though. Must've been somewhere else. Swore it was here, though.... No, we don't have it up -- I do not think someone has it out either, but could be wrong. We're on a pull system with Eduard these days -- they send a list, we ask for what we'll build, and that's what they send -- so no one may have wanted it.
MichealX Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Beautiful build; with the canopy open I can not see the problem there. The engine and miscellaneous stuff in the compartment looks incredible.
David M. Knights Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 James, Since there doesn't seem to be an IPMS review of this one pending, how about submitting one for the website? I am sure John would appreciate it.
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 :) I already put the touch on him :)
Ralph Nardone Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Beautiful build; with the canopy open I can not see the problem there. The engine and miscellaneous stuff in the compartment looks incredible. As James noted above, the canopy shape issue is with the E-3 kit, and Eduard has corrected the shape and will issue the corrected canopy in their E-4/E-7 kit. The E-1 canopy is correct.... Ralph
Ralph Nardone Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Sweet model, James. You definitely have the touch when it comes to the mottled camo.... Ralph

The E-1 canopy is correct.... Ralph Ralph and all, Has Eduard said anything about replacing the canopies on the alreadfy issued kits?
Ralph Nardone Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Ralph and all, Has Eduard said anything about replacing the canopies on the alreadfy issued kits? The last post I saw on the subject indicates "No". However, I don't know if they've re-thought that....it would be the right thing to do. I guess the answer will come in one of their newsletters.... Ralph
