Airfix 1:72 Bf109
Discussion
Flushed with (limited) success with my Spitfire, I am having a go at sticking together an enemy aircraft.
Not sure why I bothered painting the engine and mount, when it will be covered by the cowl.
109s seemed to have a prominent fuel line running across the right hand cockpit side, and a massive trim wheel on the left of the pilot’s seat. Both these features are missing from the kit so have improvised with spue.

The fuel line was on the F and G variants, not the E.
One of the many,many reasons PH is so good.....Where else could you get corrected on fuel line positions of a German aeroplane..... model.... lol

Is this a new moulding compared to the Bf-109E4 that dr_gn built? (I was going to add "a couple of years ago"....but it turns out it was 2012!)
I hope the problems that he found have been corrected.
It is - my son built this exact one recently, and most of the issues I had appeared to have been corrected. It’s a good kit.I hope the problems that he found have been corrected.

When you suspend the 109 from your ceiling with the Spitfire in hot pursuit, attach some cotton wool, sprinkled with black powder paint to the 109's engine cowling, it makes for a very effective glycol leak. 'Repeat please...'
And pierce some of the panels with a red-hot pin to simulate bullet holes?dr_gn said:
