What's tempted you into building a 'wingy thingy' young Alex?

Hello mate!


I don't know, just fancy a Jerry fighter with a yellow nose.


I keep looking at these Eduard Royal Class sets. I build so much amour, fancied taking the war to the air

I've built the Eduard 1/48 109 E-4 & that was a joy to build. None of the sometime Eduard over-engineered problems, just a lovely kit.


The supplied engine was nicely detailed, gun barrels with pre-drilled barrels, very fine panel lines & rivet detail. All the control surfaces are separate parts, including the leading-edge slats. In fact, I can't think of a single fault!


I'd recommend it highly, but I've not built the Airfix one so I guess I'm biased

You can't beat a yellow nosed 109! Even though it's a bugger to paint

Eduard it is. If I am buying Eduard parts to make the Airfix better something is wrong.

As you're getting the Profipack Alexander, you'll get all the bells & whistles thrown in. Mine was a Weekend Edition - here's how she turned out






Since building that one, I've sold a few completed models on eBay, but she's still with me which says a lot about how much I like her

Nice. Ordered and I am looking forward to a pleasure build
