Revell no.04679 1/72 scale Bf 109E-4 ... supplement

[Wurger]

There a few pics of the kit parts with a close up view at a few details..

 

[Maximowitz]

Plenty of work to do there my friend!

 

[Wurger]

Yep..I agree. Especially if the fuselage is taken into consideration.

 

[r2800doublewasp]

Lots of Rivets!!

 

[Wurger]

Yep.... but you should have added - iincorrect rivets. Or what would sound better - nails.

 

[A4K]

Oh dear...only the tailplanes look to be the right shape! Nice decals though!

 

[spit5]

no

Crikey! The fuselage looks like the hull of the Titanic, and judging by the ujnderwing bulges, that 'E' must have carried 75mm cannons!! I've just remembered - if it's the same kit, I think I built this back in about 1964 !!

I've just held a seance and Willi says he doesn't recognise it either!

 

[Wurger]

Yep you are absolutely right guys. The model details look terrible.But I think I can "cure" all of these incorrections with sandpaper and the razor-saw. If I can find some spare time...... of course.

 

[Maximowitz]

You're a brave man to attempt it.

The subject this time will be a total body transformation, including the deletion and addition of parts which even a certain beer were unable to reach, and the construction of perfect, new components, made from a combination of plastic and the 'Black Arts'.

Exactly...that fues is almost completely the wrong shape, not to mention anything else!

He's got an Me 410 to do first.

 

[A4K]

Even that will be a more realistic '109E than Revell's attempt...

 

[Wayne Little]

That kit is almost as old as I am .....?

 

[Wurger]

I see Wayne. But the plastic doesn't seems to be too fragile like most of old bones.

Might be easier so start out with a block of plastic and a carving knife and use the decals.

 

[Airframes]

Or build it out of the box, paint it in von Werra's colour scheme, and say it's a model of the mock-up used in the movie 'The one that got away'!! Hmm - maybe not, that mock-up wasn't bad really!

One of Murphy's rules says it is better to start all from the beginning than correcting anything.

There is something in the expression.
