Eduard 1/48 Bf109E-Build 

Your presentation and modelling skills just get better.

Absolutely open canopy James! Show off that great paint job in that cockpit

Definitely keep the canopy open! Show off all the excellent cockpit goodness!

Hi lames great build buddy love eduards 109s think they are the best looking forward to part 2 have the canopy open mate to show all the great work you have done to the cockpit.all the best Gary

Great build and video. The narration is also very helpful for learning model building. Thanks for your work.

All the devils in those details should be substantial enough to pull off an exceptional finished product. Will be keeping tabs on further progress as you proceed. Thank you.

Excellent start to this build series, James. Terrific cockpit paint job.....will be looking forward to seeing the camo scheme too.

*Such quality building plastic kit ...it makes me crazy! So nice Bf109!*

Nice one James, a pleasure to watch.

Very enjoyable to watch, Looking forward to part 2.

Sensational video. I can't wait for Pt 2. Very good lighting and editing. Subscribed.

109!🥰 love it great work! Heres abit if useless info on the slats for you! They were automatic and spring loaded so on the deck they are meant to be out it was the air hitting it at high speeds they would retract.

Absolutely love your painting approach. The colors you use give such a natural result

That's one sweet looking plane!

Looks a great kit. I am sure it will look stunning when it's finished.

Just a short tip for the photo etch. There are pencils available (for nail design) wich makes it much easier to place small parts.

Very nice!!!! 👍👍👍

Can't wait to see what grill in front of the supercharger intake is.

Great build....made me realize I haven't built an Eduard in awhile....gonna have to remedy that....

That sir is one sweet build, see you on the paint vid, stay safe pal😉👍😁

Really impressive

Beautiful work so far, can't wait to see the paint job :)

A nice build James. I agree on the open cockpit. This said I am as guilty as many in using shading, shadowing,washes and filters etc on cockpits but in reality it is almost impossible to see much detail of the cockpit on the finished model. You need ideal lighting, and for me, my magnifiers. Still I guess its an "I know its there" sort of thing, like hidden detail parts

Excellent work, mate 😊👍

A diamond in the rough!

Hey James !!! I ordered this kit last week at one of my local store in Canada. Not only I felt in love with the Bf-109 aircraft but also I noticed this special édition was backordered everywhere. I placed my order immediately. And two days ago I discover your latest videos showing building, painting and wheathering this precise kit !!! There must be some stars aligned in the perfect way to make that happened !!! (I took no more risk and ordered the other Eduard Dual Bf-109 Special Edition kits 🤗🤗😊😋). Silly hein ?

bloody sexy result mate :D

a good job, as always. congratulations. But the question I always ask myself is, is it really worth it? a lot of time, energy, materials and tools spent on the interiors. and then not even see them when the model is finished. I hope that at least each of your models is accompanied by a large photo gallery, otherwise what's the point? ok, I understand the pleasure of doing a job well done. I feel the same, but at least the tanks with interiors can be disassembled to show the details. but a plane? I hope that sooner or later they will invent a way to magnetically connect the parts, so at least half the fuselage can be opened to admire the interior. who knows ... in the meantime, I still congratulate you. best, Alessandro

Thanks JC. Another mesmerising Vid 🙌 Your fine detail work is nutty as fuck, and your knowledge and talent is unreal. 😯 And your narration and video production quality continues to excel! 👊 I'm excited for part 2... Cheers bruva! ✌😎

Looks nice

A 'non standard camo' eh? I'm interested to see what that might be! Personally I would leave the canopy open because that cockpit is too damn nice to hide!

I've started this kit a while ago and I think its weak point are the underwing radiators... They stand too proud of the wing surface. I had to do some plastic surgery in order to get them sit flush. The Bf109s are a great painting canvas so I am looking forward to finding out which one you'll choose! 🙂 (I've started three at once because of that, actually 😁.)

James, you need to buy a photo etch pen, you won't need to stab the parts with your scalpel, is your other half still building Toon Tanks?, Trumpeter are or have released a Sturmtiger, I'll be getting one when they become available in Australia...

Lovely clean build as usual James could I ask where you get your sanding sticks from please? As for the canopy, got to be open mate to show all that interior work off.

👍👍👍

Looks great! I’m interested to see how this one will come out! Do you know where I can buy VMS products? I’m in the US, and can’t find it anywhere even online. Thanks

Did you have any trouble fitting the engine cover on??

I hope by ‘throw away’ the tin foil you mean ‘put in recycling’? 😮

What size needle set did you use for the VMS varnish at 20psi?

Needle size spraying the VMS varnish???

P/s leave the canopy open

Nice luftwaffe plane german air force

Maybe you only notice this when you're from Germany, but it's funny how all English speaking people always say "Meschersmitt" instead of "Messerschmitt". I watch a lot of documentaries about history and aviation. And this mistake occurs in absolutley all of them!

Like all model building video’s, would be much better without dramatic music.
