BF 109 K-4 FULL BUILD of Eduard's new kit.

Full Build video of an excellent Eduard 11177 BF 109 K-4 in 1:48 scale.
NOTE:
The small wheelwell covers you can see under the wings are misplaced- left is where the right should be. This was pointed out to me and corrected already, however the video showing the version before the correction.
Previous BF109 versions did not have these covers at all so, apologies for my mistake, but the subject is rather new to me :) I caunt on your understanding.
Unboxing of this kit you can see on my channel:
• Unboxing of the new BF...
The Messerschmitt Bf-109 is a German metal-structure single-engine fighter in a low wing configuration with a classic tail. It turned out to be the basic and most produced Luftwaffe fighter during World War II. The flight of the prototype took place on May 29, 1935, and serial production continued in the years 1936-1945. In total, it is estimated that a total of about 35,000 Messerschmitt Bf-109 fighters of all varieties were produced, many of which ended up in the Czech and Israeli air forces after the war. The roots of the Bf-109 go back to the competition announced in 1933 by the Luftwaffe for a new fighter plane. In competition with the He-112, the Bf-109 project initially lost, but thanks to Willie Messerschmitt's intrigues, the project could continue and eventually he was the winner of the competition, becoming the Luftwaffe's primary fighter. Several main variants of the Bf-109 were developed in the course of production. The first pre-production series was the Bf-109B (Berta) with different versions of the Junkers Jumo 210 (A or Da) engine. They were tested in Spain from 1937 during the Civil War. The next version is the Bf-109C (Caesar). They had a different engine than the B version, and extensive armament consisting of two 20mm and 2 HP 7.92mm cannons. These machines also fought in the skies of Spain. The third version is the Bf-109D (Dora) with the Junkers Jumo 210 Da or Daimler-Benz DB 600 engine. It fought in the September campaign, but at the turn of 1939/1940 it was replaced by the E version. The most famous model was the Bf-109E (Emil) with a Daimler-Benz 601A or N engine. It was the first to use a three-blade, not a two-blade propeller. Bf-109E fought in the French campaign, over England, and in North Africa and on the Eastern Front. The ace who started his career on the Bf-109E was the famous Adolf Galland. The next version is the Bf-109F (Friedrich), which, according to the German pilots, was the most aerodynamically perfect. It sowed the changed shape of the fuselage, wings, cabin fairings, but no new engine was used. It was put into service at the turn of 1940/1941. As part of the development of the design, further Bf-109 specifications were developed, of which the G (Gustav) version was produced in the largest number of copies. The most important change increasing the machine's performance was the installation of a new 12-cylinder Daimler-Benz DB605A engine with 1475HP. The armament of the Bf-109G was a pair of 13mm machine guns located in the fuselage in front of the cockpit fairing, and the MG151 20mm or heavier MK108 30mm cannon. The last mass-produced version was the Bf-109K (Kurfirst), which production started in October 1944. A Daimler-Benz DB 605DB or DC unit was used as the engine. The Bf-109K was the fastest version produced during World War II, reaching up to 730 km / h. Apart from that, two versions were created - H and Z, but they were rather experimental versions and their mass production did not start. Subsequent improvements in propulsion and armament made the Messerschmitt Bf-109 one of the most dangerous fighters of World War II, and at the same time showed the great potential of the slightly angular airframe created by Willi Messerschmitt. Technical data (version Bf-109 G-6): length: 8.95 m, wingspan: 9.92 m, height: 2.6 m, maximum speed: 640 km / h, rate of climb: 17 m / s, maximum range: 850 km, maximum ceiling 12000m, armament: fixed - 2 MG131 13mm machine guns and 1 MG151 20mm cannon, suspended - 250 kg bombs, or 2 Wfr missile launchers.

I've ran into issues with the area in front of the windscreen and always having to fix the area they had the sprue attachment point on top of the fuselage and the area under the cowling. Looks like they've corrected a few of those issues on the K.

[@darrenwhiteside1619]

Very sweet model indeed! Your skills seem to improve with each and every build you attempt I've been studying factory Luftwaffe comouflage patterns for my upcoming 1/32 109G build and you definitely got it spot on. Even the wavy pattern of the wing leading edge is correct which many modelers get wrong. As always looking forward to your next build Rafal!

[@modelfun]

Thank you Darren. I'm trying to do my best every time, and I'm happy you see I make progress with my builds and skills :). I understand why some modellers get the wavy pattern wrong, as I have corrected it 3 times before I was happy with it. It is not the easiest to paint :) So, you already made some preparation for the next build, and after the Lightning the bad guy will join the collection. Wish you have a lot of fun with your builds.

[@darrenwhiteside1619]

@@modelfun Yeah I've only made US warplanes up to this point so my Zero, 109, and 190 will definitely feel out of place 😉 By the way my Lightning is a little behind schedule so it looks like I won't be finished with it until sometime next month. Have you figured out your next model yet...will it be another German subject or something totally different?

[@modelfun]

@darrenwhiteside1619 :) Once the evil force join in numbers they will feel better :) Zero, 190 & 109 sounds like a strong company :) I hope you do not feel frustration or burnout and progressing with the Lightning at the own pace. I noticed when I rush with things, or have no time for building, the result is either my frustration or corections I have to make on model that I wanted to speedup. So, I'm learning to build with no deadlines and slowly. This results in only 5 models completed this year, but well, at least I enjoy the process. For the next one, I decided already. It will be my first jet aircraft from the soviet era. Mig-21R in Polish markings. I have absolutely no idea what to expect. But I know how I want to build it. And because it was widely used by Polish Air force back in the time, I have plenty of reference materials, and saw few of them and even been in the conckpit as we have the planes in local museum, This gives a little more feeling of the aircraft, so I'm excited :)

[@darrenwhiteside1619]

Thank you for the great advice. It's been three months since I started the build but being a stickler for detail I normally work at a very slow pace. And yes the axis fighters will be a great addition to my collection but the American fighters will still have an edge in numbers 😉 What scale is your Mig? It is a very historic aircraft being over 60 years in service so studying it should be a lot of fun for you!

[@modelfun]

Yeah, good guys have to win :) Mig is in 1:48 and yes, there is plenty of information and photos. I do not go too much crazy obut it as it is my first jet and I take it easy. Plus, the kit looks very detailed, to the point I find it very good straight OOB.

Very nice build, paint and weathering on this aircraft, looks real good. How, or what did you use to make the little bumps (conductors?) on the ariel wire? Very effective.

[@modelfun]

Thank you 🙂. I made them with ultra glue. Placed the glue on the wire with a toothpick and after a while painted black.

Nice work yet again!

[@modelfun]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

[@Historybuffm8]

Have you ever used super glue for attaching the landing gear? I use super glue when adding the landing gear. I heard that would make it less stressful about getting it symmetrical.

[@modelfun]

Hello, No, actually I have never tried, I think because I'm affraid it must be a quick action. What if I place it wrong? Once super glue dries I have a problem- right? How it works for you?

[@Historybuffm8]

@@modelfun I dry fit the part first to make sure everything is correct, then I apply the super glue and put it in place.

[@freemanreed5228]

I thought there was a seam line in the top and bottom of the rear fuselage. They say you are not supposed to sand those off???!!!! Just asking?!

That is why I rescribe both lines. Sanding is to remove glue, melted plastic.

[@twojoptyk8358]

For what You have used silver paint?

It helps to get more realistic chipping effect.

[@Michu32421]

Mam pytanie jesli model 1/48 ma nity to rozjasnic srodek calego panelu a przyciemnic linie podzialu nie patrząc na nity czy cieniowac kazdego nita i rozjasniac kazda przestrzen pomiedzy nitami?

[@modelfun]

To zależy jaki efekt chcesz uzyskać. Ale, myślę że malowanie/cieniowane każdego nitu osobno może być wyzwaniem. Do takich akcji lepiej sprawdza się wash. On podkreśli nity, nie ważne czy to wklęsłe, czy wypukłe. A w zaoszczędzonym czasie można się pobawić cieniowaniem większych powierzchni:)

[@Michu32421]

@@modelfun mi się wydaje właśnie że lepiej rozjaśnić cały panel nie patrząc na nity a później wash przyciemni nity i wyjedzie podobnie

Even a Dassault F1-B or X-15....just not the same old same old SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!! Large transport aircraft could be SO COOL as you can add scratch built lights, electric motors, and a full interior to hide the batteries in leu of nose weight. Same old same old same...old.....
