Zvezda 1/48 Bf109F-4 - DONE! (again) New Pics

Post by wing_nut »

Jimmy invited me to join in over here form another forum. have to be honest... didin't know about this one but I do see some familiar names I've not seen in a wile.

Happy to join the fray.

For this party I'll be using the Vector resin update set, less the spinner. That will be the Eagle Parts spinner which comes with a drill guide base to get the holes.

Image



The spinners in order... Eagle Parts, Vector and the kit. The Vector and kit parts are a bit too bulbous and neither has the rivet detail the Eagle spinner has. I may just make the dimple a little more crisp. Also the F spinner has a tear drop shaped opening for the prop blades. Kit part-none, Vector-a bit too much and the Eagle part are just about right.


Image


This will be closed canopy to just need to be able to see some rudimentary shapes inside. A scrounged through the drawer that collects all the stuff that doesn't get used up and found 1 set of Luftwaffe PE seatbelts at the back of the drawer. The engine is there for no other purpose than to hold the exhaust in the correct position. I left one of the kit pipes in place for the pic to see the difference to the resin updated pipes.

Welcome to our forum and the GB! The Zvezda F-4 is a good choice, maybe the most accurate F in any scale.

For me it's the Hungarian one, please.

Good to see you in here...love those Zvezda 109Fs!!! Maybe they'll pop a G-6 as well since Eduard screwed their attempt...

I vote for Yellow 6...

Welcome! :kissing:

I dig "V-03"...just for something different, but "6" in a beat up white wash would be pretty damn cool!

Cool and welcome. Looking forward to this build. Yellow 6 please
