Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

I built the Spit at the beginning of the year having memories of an excellent kit but i reality it was a bit disappointing 20 years on. Very soft on detail and missing some key detail all together. I have always been a fan of Aires and Eduard but you have to go in with your eyes wide open because parts will not fit OTB but can be made to fit with careful planning. That said the eduard FW190 engine was just physically to big for the revel model and there was nothing you could do with it short of cutting the whole front of the engine off to get the cooling fan inside the cowling. Hopefully their 3D stuff is better than their resin castings.

Ok Piet, you first. Let's see that thing built.

Eduard's 1/32 scale inventory includes the Bf 109E-3, Bf 109E-4, and the Bf 108. "

I can tell you from experience that these kits, prior to the Mustang, are nowhere near the quality and the reason you didn't see a new kit (the Bf 108 is from another's molds) after their Bf 109 series. Sort of the same happened after their 1/35th Jagdpanzer 38 and their 1/16th Schwimmwagen kits.

As for the Bf 109, I kept my Dragon Wings kit (and Kotare's new one will be better). This Mustang is exquisite.
