Airfix 1:48 Bf109 (New Tool)

**Fenlander** · 30-07-2010

Will I be buying more Airfix? Well, if they continue to release kits like this then I certainly will. Already have my eye on the 109 Tropical (just so I can have a drop tank lol) I think they are doing a new Hurricane, may even be out, but I am not sure. But yes, I would buy a kit of this quality again with no hesitation.

Well done Graham,another very smart Bf109 to add to the collection. I wonder whose tropical aircraft they will do options for. Airfix usually go for the well known but you never know.There are some well known colour photos of Bf109E-7s of JG27 flying over North Africa. Best known is probably the one of "Black 8" over the Libyan shore line. It's a great camouflage scheme with green blotches over the sand coloured upper surfaces.

It certainly worked.

A bit of detail. The Luftwaffe showing off at Gazala,before we nicked it back off them.

Cheers

Spot on as usual Steve, this is the link to the Airfix page, it is indeed Black 8 Link there are a couple of others to, click on the box art for a nice big pic of the box.

110% Graham that is one really fine Me 109, and I like the paint job. Don`t worry about the Alclad2 it`s easy, ones fingers look nice in chrome?
Excellent job mate.
Gareth.

Cheers Gareth, never though of chromed fingers lol. I am really looking forward to trying this out, warts and all. When I have made most of the mistakes, I will expect one of you masters to show how it should be done.

Don't know the middle one off the top of my head. Top one is a cracker and would look really good. Is the bottom one an "Emil"? It looks like it is marked for the Condor Legion in Spain,where there were a lot of "Bs" IIRC.

We'll have to wait until someone buys one LOL.

Edit. Airfix are correct the one shown on the box is one of 44 "Es" sent to Spain. I'll look it up when I get home.

**Fenlander** · 30-07-2010

Will anyone buy one???? I will for certain lol. Quite like the idea of the Spanish one.

**flounder_al** · 30-07-2010

I'll defo get one at some point. Need to add to my 1/48 Battle of Britain stash lol

Great looking build Graham. After your first post of this kit review I've been itching to get my hands on one. But after a disastrous 1:48 (old) Airfix Spitfire where the decals flaked off on some parts and refused to come off on others, I've been afraid to start on another kit until I fixed it up.

Well I went out and got one anyway

I have no self control
