Eduard 1/48 Bf109E-Build

[@tpaul802]

Absolutely open canopy James! Show off that great paint job in that cockpit

[@lpjmodels]

It's looking like open cockpit is the way forward 😀

[@robbo1068]

Excellent start to this build series, James. Terrific cockpit paint job.....will be looking forward to seeing the camo scheme too.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Robbo, much appreciated, on my end I'm on the decals and it's looking good (imo) I hope you enjoy the camo next week

[@roadweary5252]

Definitely keep the canopy open! Show off all the excellent cockpit goodness!

[@murraykriner9425]

All the devils in those details should be substantial enough to pull off an exceptional finished product. Will be keeping tabs on further progress as you proceed. Thank you.

[@yu-mingchang2256]

Great build and video. The narration is also very helpful for learning model building. Thanks for your work.

[@lpjmodels]

You're welcome thanks for watching

[@michaelmenard8614]

109!🥰 love it great work! Heres abit if useless info on the slats for you! They were automatic and spring loaded so on the deck they are meant to be out it was the air hitting it at high speeds they would retract.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks my freind!

[@allanrichards6448]

A nice build James. I agree on the open cockpit. This said I am as guilty as many in using shading, shadowing,washes and filters etc on cockpits but in reality it is almost impossible to see much detail of the cockpit on the finished model. You need ideal lighting, and for me, my magnifiers. Still I guess its an "I know its there" sort of thing, like hidden detail parts

[@lpjmodels]

I dont mind putting the work in as long as it looks good, thanks for the kind words !

[@thomashaupt79]

Just a short tip for the photo etch. There are pencils available (for nail design) wich makes it much easier to place small parts.

[@lpjmodels]

Great tip thanks 😊

[@alainvandenbosch2685]

Hey James !!! I ordered this kit last week at one of my local store in Canada. Not only I felt in love with the Bf-109 aircraft but also I noticed this special édition was backordered everywhere. I placed my order immediately. And two days ago I discover your latest videos showing building, painting and wheathering this precise kit !!! There must be some stars aligned in the perfect way to make that happened !!! (I took no more risk and ordered the other Eduard Dual Bf-109 Special Edition kits 🤗🤗😊😋). Silly hein ?

[@raifevesra581]

Great build....made me realize I haven't built an Eduard in awhile....gonna have to remedy that....

[@lpjmodels]

I do love an eduard kit

[@Vmssupplies]

A diamond in the rough!

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks VMS 😊

[@Vmssupplies]

@@lpjmodels Sure!

[@RaduB.]

I've started this kit a while ago and I think its weak point are the underwing radiators... They stand too proud of the wing surface. I had to do some plastic surgery in order to get them sit flush. The Bf109s are a great painting canvas so I am looking forward to finding out which one you'll choose! 🙂 (I've started three at once because of that, actually 😁.)

[@lpjmodels]

They do 100% I had a lazy moment and left mine 😅 As I like non standard paint schemes where possible I ended up with one that isn't grey/green. For the F2 I was thinking the box art one looks like a challenge but that's a long way off yet

[@LoPigs-q8e]

a good job, as always. congratulations. But the question I always ask myself is, is it really worth it? a lot of time, energy, materials and tools spent on the interiors. and then not even see them when the model is finished. I hope that at least each of your models is accompanied by a large photo gallery, otherwise what's the point? ok, I understand the pleasure of doing a job well done. I feel the same, but at least the tanks with interiors can be disassembled to show the details. but a plane? I hope that sooner or later they will invent a way to magnetically connect the parts, so at least half the fuselage can be opened to admire the interior. who knows ... in the meantime, I still congratulate you. best, Alessandro

[@lpjmodels]

I think its always worth the effort. Otherwise through the glass it wouldn't match the exterior :)

[@supercededman]

Yeah, Alex, I get what you mean. Tamiya have at least shown the way to partly solving this issue by introducting micro magnets to cowlings. See their 109G6 engine cowling, for example.

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Looks great! I’m interested to see how this one will come out! Do you know where I can buy VMS products? I’m in the US, and can’t find it anywhere even online. Thanks

James, you need to buy a photo etch pen, you won't need to stab the parts with your scalpel, is your other half still building Toon Tanks?, Trumpeter are or have released a Sturmtiger, I'll be getting one when they become available in Australia...

[@simonleach6632]

A 'non standard camo' eh? I'm interested to see what that might be! Personally I would leave the canopy open because that cockpit is too damn nice to hide!

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Simon, canopy looks like it'll be open 😀, Its standard, but non standard for where its operating.

0.15 but that's just what I have loaded in at the mo. , it works ok but a bigger needle works a lot more smoothly.

[@muskel-john9189]

Maybe you only notice this when you're from Germany, but it's funny how all English speaking people always say "Meschersmitt" instead of "Messerschmitt". I watch a lot of documentaries about history and aviation. And this mistake occurs in absolutley all of them!

I think because I have always heard messerschmitt said from a English speaking perspective I personally never thought to correct myself. I'll try and remeber this when voicing part 3 😁
