1/32 Eduard Bf 109 E4

[JimD]

I finished this one a few days ago. I had started this kit before moving. Right about the time I packed up the bench to put the old house on the market I hit the only real snag with this build...the engine cowling. As with most kits, when you choose to close up a panel that is intended to be open, you have issues. The cowling was not wide enough leaving about a 2mm shortage in total. I was able to get it to spread out adequately with some sprue spreaders. I also had BOTH balkenkreuz on the wing upper surfaces shred to pieces. Whatever.

Its the Profipack completely OOB.

Got the E-7/trop in my stash. Great result Jimmy

Another 109!?!? When will the 109 fever ever cool down? It doesn't matter because I am happy to see another beautiful finished build. Did you paint the interior dashboard or it came with the kit? It looks great! And I always liked the color yellow on 109s.

Good luck with the house selling!

Thanks a lot gentleman.

Andy, the IP is the colored PE piece from the Eduard kit. We sold our house in 9 days. I guess my post was a little confusing. We put the old house up for sale in September. I had begun this kit, but had to put it away. My workbench was in the master bedroom and our relator didn't think that was a huge selling point, so I packed my bench away leaving this one in limbo.

Nice looking Emil there Jimmy! Tough break on the markings but the splinter pattern looks right on.

I have to say I love your Emil for a couple of reasons. First, it is simply just a butt kickin' good job.

Second, I am partial to the color scheme...

Wow. Nice one there man. Thanks for bringing me back down to earth. I really like your color. My photos are diluting things a little bit but my washes really killed the contrast in the scheme.
