Username: Donivanp
First name: Don
Category: intermediate
Scale: 1/32
Manufacturer: Hobby 2000 (Cyber Hobby/Dragon) Bf 109E-7 Trop
Extras: non yet but probably a set of AirScale Luftwaffa seatbelts


Kit comes with PE seatbelts but I'm not a fan of these. Kit decals so pretty much what's in the box.

Thank you gentlemen,

Let's take a look what in the box.......


My interests is #1 or 2 with most likely 2

Oh look a bag full of goodies!

Decals and mask, all part of the kit.

PE and a rope to hang yourself with, Oh boy!!!!!

Cyber Hobby/Dragon released the 109E as an E-3, 4 and 7 Trop, as there was a wind screen change in there all the kits have both in the kit. As is you can build any of the kits to pretty much any 109E variant just come up with the decals you need and find the parts you need .

Officially as the interior colour from 1941, but only for areas visible from the outside, other ones stayed in RLM 02. Unofficially, the coat appeared in the cockpits in 1940.. I would use the RLM 66 for the E-7.

Oooooo! #1 camo scheme would be MY choice!! In fact, this scheme doesn't appear to have any 'special' markings (decals) that would preclude me from applying to one of my desert kits? Well, maybe one, the squadron(?) patch, but I may be able to find one somewhere or just leave it off (who would know outside the 'official' judging community?)

A great Kit to work with Don, my GB39 entry uses this kit if it helps in any way.

Alrighty, started spitting a little paint for the cockpit and pulled out the seatbelts.

If you followed my Hellcat build I'm useing the same system, well I'm gonna try anyway,

Go for it Don, those buckles should be much easier in the larger scale.

They were. The hellcat is 1/24. Now I'm going microscopic with 1/32. My Diabetes fluctuates way to much and it messes with my eyes.

I'm hoping I can get the 32 scale done. I wouldn't be able too do 48th scale.
