This is my most ambitious endeavor yet. Last year it was my first 1/32 subject, now I'm pushing my personal modeling boundaries even further.....surgery! Here I tackle the Eduard Bf 109 G-6 which will get the Brassin engine upgrade straped on to the front. The G-6 kit is the original release for 2014 that caused an uproar with 109 fanatics regarding it's inaccuracies. This doesn't bother me and I will try to fix the minor stuff. This ought to be fun.....please join me.
I started with that DB 605, figuring I'd get the worst part done and out of the way. It's a mix of resin and PE. For the resin, I broke out my trusty Dremel and 3 hours later I got here. As you can see the detail is breathtaking and I couldn't wait to start painting.
You are instructed to paint most of it black, which is a bummer since all that awesome detail will be hard to see. I was generous with the drybrushing to make it pop out. I used fuse wire to run the plumbing per Eduard's instruction, as they do not supply the needed wires. 3 more hours, a Detailer wash and then dull coat brought me about here. I'm fairly happy with the results. Not unlike NyQul, the box should come with a disclaimer that says "Warning..don't make any 
plans!"
Next was the cockpit which was fairly nice right out of the box. Not Tamiya P-47 nice, but decent nonetheless, especially with the included PE added. I used the seatbelts, rudders, and IP. The clear fuel line was a nice touch. You tape off the clear part and paint it....looks great!
I then followed the instructions and hacked up the front cowl with my Dremel. I roughed it out with the Dremel then finished with a #11 exacto. Boy I was nervous. Moment of truth. In my best Ace Ventura voice......."like a glove".
I hope the worst is over.
