Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can't wait. If it is the same quality as their Spitfires I am going to go broke. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

randypandy831 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I hope they rework the closed cowling issues. engine had to be hacked up to have the cowling closed in their 1/48 Emils. Edited January 19, 2014 by randypandy831 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tbolt Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This should be good. I hope they rework the closed cowling issues. engine had to be hacked up to have the cowling closed in their 1/48 Emils. Lets hope so, I wouldn't mind if they just did away with the engine and you just buy a Brassin one if you want the cowlings open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nerdling Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I am tired of more of the same... Good for you... Some of us are excited to see a new Bf 109. Companies do this because they know the kit will sell and sell well. They are in the business to make money after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I agree...One of these days, the old adage of "It's Luftwaffe, so it must be able to sell", will just not work. Brad I am tired of more of the same... Edited January 21, 2014 by Brad-M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The 20mm cannon look grossly misaligned and the color scheme is all wrong for an early G-6. The kit is obviously crap. Anyone want to make a bet on how many pages the thread will be when the discussion starts in earnest on the accuracy (or lack thereof) of this kit? I'm going conservative - 18 pages.

Hal Marshman Sr Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wonder if it'll be humpbacked like the E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Well, all they need now to be taken as a serious manufacturer is a 1/48 P-51D. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Could the OP please change the title of this thread so it reads "Eduard 1/48 Bf109G-6" - having the hyphens in the wrong place for the next year and a half as this kit is dissected is going to drive me nuts.

Ruud Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 i'm with Jennings on this one. Eduard 109G... cool, if it is like their Spitfire. Hoping it comes down to 1/72 (along with their MiG-21). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going conservative - 18 pages. judging a kit by the picture, what a shame. this was the picture they showed when they first announced it. I have a feeling they will get it right. jennings, who cares about the dash because I obviously don't. I can't believe some of you people on here.

MikeC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well, all they need now to be taken as a serious manufacturer is a 1/48 P-51D. ;-) And a Mustang I, P-51, A, B & C (with and w/o fin fillet) to complete the series As for the 109, would parts for one of the recce variants and/or one or more Slovak marking options be too much to hope for?

11bee Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking that 11bee was being sarcastic actually. Thank you Nerdling! Yes, that post of mine was supposed to be humorous. My bad. I was mocking other posts where people noted inaccuracies with the box art and then assumed that the kit itself was garbage. I've actually got high hopes for kit.

sharkmouth Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Could the OP please change the title of this thread so it reads "Eduard 1/48 Bf109G-6" It would still be wrong as it is missing a space (according to period Luftwaffe documentation). I have seen both BF109 G-6 and Bf109 G-6 (note capitalization) but there is always (so far) a space between the model number and variant letter. I hope to see a Finnish sharkmouth!

echolmberg Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've actually got high hopes for kit. Whoah! Now hang on here just a second. What kind of high hopes are we talking about here? The high apple pie in the sky hopes? Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randypandy831 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 i'll fix the title so we get less negative post/comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
