Eduard's Limited Edition Bf 109K-4 'KÜRFURST' | Full Build | 4K

I like the scheme on this one, a bit different than typical. Professionally executed as usual, nice work

Hello! I've been watching your videos for awhile and just ordered a new airfix starter set, the ME109 F-4. Super excited!!! Love from the US 💗

[@SMAZVidoes]

Great finish on a great subject. I real like your painting techniques.

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much sir!😁

Wasn’t sure I wanted to watch someone build another 109 but that was nicely done

[@machmodels]

Haha thank you very much!😁

[@highdarktemplar]

Beautiful paint job !!!

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much!😁

[@ricardoroberto7054]

The unusual green fuselage colour was the primer. Normally the whole plane was then painted RLM 76 over the priner and then the top camo but 76 was expensive to produce so often they didnt have enough of it and so left it primer with the too camo over the top. The wings were sub assemblies produced elsewhere so came with their own variations!

[@machmodels]

Wow! Thanks for letting me know and bringing some context into this😁

[@feniraken]

Is it Zinc Chromate are you talking about?

[@ricardoroberto7054]

@@feniraken quite possibly. I think the colour can vary though. The important thing is don't lose sleep over it. It varied with the factory and age.

Spure glue is amazing and helped me with my Kintetic F-18 battle. I have not tried the Mr putty magic stuff yet.

[@machmodels]

You should try it out! It is a magical tool😁

[@jameshall1300]

Awesome paint job. I love those haphazard late war German schemes that use the duck egg green ( I've seen it called RLM76A and RLM84 before also ). I've got a 190D-9 thats a wild mix of camo and bare metal and primer that I'm itching to get to.

[@enriqueandujar-garcia73]

... the underside 'Sky' colour was in reality referred as the 'green variation' of RLM 76. Due to late war shortages in EVERYTHING, the color production was'nt able to produce the proper tones. Even the brown-violet colour was originally an olive green,but,due to poor quality colour, faded quickly to a brown-violet.

[@machmodels]

Wooohooo yes those late Germans really do get me, they are such a lot of fun. Let me know how you get on, and thank you very much😁

[@JamesMackenzie-sx2bu]

@@machmodels you were right - however I don’t think the bottom of the ‘morane’ FuG 16ZY should be pointing forward. The instructions don’t even suggest that so not sure where you got that from? Just as bad as the cookienumpty and his backward facing antenna The only whip antenna to slant back was the one on the port underside at frame 3(?). That was the FuG 16ZY

Beautiful Build 😍. One of mz favourite planes. But zou made a mistake The plane is named Kurfürst.

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Haha whoops I’ll sort that out👌🏻

[@Pipewellgate]

Beautiful build, love all the contrast you've managed to get into that paint scheme. If you are going to offset the tailwheel make sure to offset the rudder too - in almost all aircraft those controls are interlinked, so that the rudder pedals can be used to steer on the deck too. Not a criticism though, I love this model, and I think you nailed the weathering level for a 109K!

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Ah great thank you for letting me know, very much a valid comment to make. I’ll see if I can sort out that rudder👌🏻

[@nickcummins3084]

Wow,you’ve absolutely smashed it out,and being able to see you making it at Hannants was also a little bonus.Thanks for the A-10 and Bf-109 also,and this video will for sure be great inspiration for the 109.I also have one question, How can I make a boring Raf grey and green scheme interesting?

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Looking forward to hearing about how you get on with the builds. I would do exactly what I did in this build, specifically on the wing👌🏻

[@KGmodels]

I am hoping to start them soon,and Thanks for that tip,I wouldn’t have thought of doing the same technique for a different camo.Well,because I am slightly stupid I guess,but I will try to copy it as much as I can.

Another great build Luke, re all the comments regarding the censored swastika , personally I think the historically accurate rendition should have included swastikas in their entirety, people forget that the swastika symbol originates in Indian culture, specifically hindu scripts, the Nazis hijacked it for their nefarious ends. Anyhow, great build and looks ace. 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MansourReviews]

I enjoy your build videos and the finished results, truly amazing. Question, what is your video setup?

Hey Mach! I'm thinking of stopping by at Hannands London next time I go to England, and I just thought I'd ask how their prices are compared to other shops?

You should use the KZbin logo in place of the swastika. I think your point would be understood.

Haha I’m not sure how that would go down…

@@machmodels So KZbin would ban\censor symbolism? They would earn the suggested symbolism if they did that.

The slats on Bf109s are NOT spring loaded, they slide in and out freely and are operated by air pressure changes due to the angle of attack. On the ground they are in, unless a ground crew pulls them out for some reason. They are Handley Page slats.

When I was stationed in West Germany in the 80s, I bought a 109 kit at a hobby shop downtown Mannheim. I remember the decal sheet having the swastikas cut out. That was a cool shop, too, Inner city shops have a common look to them. They certainly handled reconstruction better than we did here in America. Here we named bases after the traitor generals. Can you imagine in Germany had named their military bases after their generals? They threw off their Hitler problems. We still deal with ours.

[@dannyhoward3437]

The bases have all been renamed. We did fine with Reconstruction. Btw, this is a modeling page, not a Communist Party page.

[@kg2995]

I can't imagine no freedom of speech or expression even if it's something you disagree with, which is only unique to America, atleast real America. So yeah we get models with swastikas becuase you can't erase the past you need to learn from it.
