Bf 109E - Aircraft of World War II

Hudson MkIII · 07-29-2009, 10:09 PM

When i was younger I made dozens of plastic kits to a very average standard. This is a kit I finished many years ago but has somehow survived, its not flash, it hasn't been weathered but I can remember being quiet happy with my efforts at the time.
Prepare to be amazed

Looks good to me too! What make and scale is she?

Hudson MkIII · 07-30-2009, 04:11 AM

Thank you for your comments, she's a Tamyia 1/48 scale.
I haven't made a kit set warbird for many years, this one has been on top of a bookshelf for a long time.

Nicely done.

That's really not bad at all.

Cool, I wish I had some of my old work. My nephews had an air war while I was away at college.

Welcome mate!

Like the others said it looks fine to me

See absolutly nothing wrong with it at all myself.I enjoy looking at some of my older builds and compare them to what I do now.Now there is a guy along the coast here and Dan might remember who has over 3000+ kits built in his house!!!He is like in his 70's or 80's with what I would call a good wife

.Cheers Kevin

I like the kit u posted, and if I may, its never too late to add some panel line work and some slight weathering to make it shine like she should.....

Havent heard of the fella ur talkin about Kevin, but his wife must be a Saint....
