Hello,

In this topic i will post pics of my finished builds of the Messerschmitt family.

My latest build is Eduards 1/48 scale Bf 109 E-4, the mount of Oberfeldwebel Fritz Beeck, 6./JG 51, Wisant, France August 1940.







This is my fourth build after i started building airplanes early february from this year.

Here is a pic of all 4 together.




I ordered 5 more of Eduards Bf 109 kits as i find them fun builds and lots of AM decal options available.

Comment and critique always welcome.

P.S.
I know about the missing MG barrels, i simply forgot to glue them in place and only noticed it after the build was complete.

Regards
Tony

Nice looking Messerschmits. Well done.

I thought you weren't allowed to show the swasitka in Euroupe, or are the more relaxed in some countries?

I like this kind of work, all the same, but all different, and good work too.

in 1/48 scale, they will add up quickly, you will need a new room on your house soon..!

Nice start to your collection. Staying focused on one mark can be very difficult as well as very rewarding as you do your research. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

This question comes up every one in a while. The answer is that it's complicated.

There's no such thing as a relaxed European country...

What about relaxing a bit?

There are Little problems with the Swastika in Scandinavia. Maybe if you go to the German article about the Swastika on Wikipedia, and look at the Picture of the Carlsberg elephants, youy will know why
