COMPLETED: Bf 109 E-1 Eduard 1/32

Very, very nice Steve. Strange to see the swastika split across the fin and rudder. Great build.

Strange to see the swastika split across the fin and rudder.

I think the Luftwaffe thought so too. It was soon moved to the more familiar position, entirely on the fin. This led to some interesting juxtapositions in 1940 when replacement rudders, or in this case the fin and stabiliser assembly, were fitted.



Cheers and thanks again for the nice comments

That is a great result Steve. Immaculate paint as usual together with an 'unusual' scheme.

That picture you just posted would make an interesting build....

Beautifully built , presented ,photographed ,chosen and researched . I love it. Its always a real treat to see your builds Steve , the choice of subject here is very refreshing - a pre war 109 with rarely modelled camo . The scheme reminds me very much of the RAAF camo , even down to the white tail, i think it really suits the 109's shape. great build matey , cheers tony

I agree with everything already said. I also enjoyed the build thread, very informative as usual. Great build Steve, love the pre-war clean look.

Beautiful work as always Steve.. The Eduard kit is great and your rendition of the E1 type is a text example on how to finish one.

Excellent job and the usual (but deserving) 5*

Cheers

Thanks again.

The similarities outweigh the differences!
