1/72 Eduard Messerschmitt Bf-109F

OK! Finished enough to count towards my 2023 total. They do need isolators on the antennae and same chipped paint around the wing roots but I consider them flight worthy anyway. No reason to ground an aircraft due to a lack of paint scratches…


The early 109F of Werner Mölders…


…and Pips Priller’s 109F-4.

Kits are fun builds with loads of details and very good fit but they require care when building. One thing I noticed was that some of the edges that have been cast very thin (parts like rudder and ailerons) have a tiny hairline of flash. Easy to get rid of with a sanding stick but difficult to see before it is too late (at least when you’re 51 :slight_smile: ).

There are of course things that can be done better (and which of course will be in these builds ) but in general I’m very happy with the general outcome of these. And they look really 109 I think!

I’m off skiing for a few days, I promise some more photos when I’m back!

Gott Nytt År! (Merry New Year in Swedish…)
