1/48 Eduard Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 (JG 50 Grislawski)

Another beauty Joe! It looks really cool all opened up and was worth the effort. Looks like a fantastic kit!

You knocked this Eduard right out of the park, Joe. Beautiful work.

Was this your first Eduard kit or just the first with all the Eduard aftermarket goodies?

I have to echo Mustang Joe's comment a bit, I have fond and vivid memories of building my first Eduard, also a 109, a few years back in the 109 GB, so I know what's involved in this kit. How you have done what you have done in a few weeks has my head spinning. If yours looked slapped together, that'd be one thing, but it looks like a contest winner to me.

Anyway, I recently recieved my second Eduard, one of the Spits, and it may be partially your fault because of this WIP thread!!!

More importantly, I always enjoy your WIP's, thanks for this one.

Dangit Joe! I was looking in to see the progress on this thing and BWAM!!!!! It's all done! . Man you've really gotta slow down on these builds as you're making us all look bad. I'm in awe not only of your work but the short time that it took you to achieve it. Was this a commission build or one for your shelf?

Just superb work!

Do you have a room dedicated to displaying all your a/c models?

No...I've built many Eduard kits.  It's my first surgery to display the engine kit.  Thanks for the kind words..

Call me a petrol head but I always love seeing those engines on display. Great work, Joe. Love how that turned out. Im totally Jelly.

Thanks bud...this one will be on its way to Massachusetts shortly.  The good news is that I plan on taking a break from commissions and build for myself for a while.  I plan on building one of these closed up and then the airfix P-40B I ordered from Hannants when it arrives from across the pond.  Thinking Pearl Harbor markings....

Nope...I have a handful of favorites but I sell most of them on eBay. It's turned into quite a lucrative business for me and has spawned several regular customers, to include the recipient of this one.  I hope to use the money to send my daughter to college someday.  

Thanks for the kind words...

 How in the world do you ship something like that without worrying about all the open panels and goodies falling off? I've transported mine to shows but that was me.............not the postal service. You know how those guys can be with packages sometimes. Just curious is all.

 

I have a pretty good packing system. They are basically sandwiched between two slabs of high density foam and secured with wire, contained within a box.  Little stuff does sometimes fall off but that goes with the territory. That yellow nose P-51 I just finished was shipped to Italy and made it unscathed.
