In the previous article about our upcoming Bf 109E-1 in 1/48, I've introduced the first ever build Emil. During past weekend, I was able to start building a second Bf 109E-1 to bring you this next article, where we go more into details about specific parts of this fantastic kit. Fuselage - Tail Section The rudder is separately molded in the kit. Quite sharp trailing edge of the stabilizer covers the leading edge of the rudder, with well fixed distance between the parts. The final tail arrangement looks pretty realistic. Note the screw for settings of the horizontal stabilizer angle inside th

Bf 109E-1 in 1/48th scale – Test Molds Build

So gentlemen, first Eduard Emil is born! I have built the very first one Bf 109E-1 in 1/48th using the test shots couple of days ago, as you surely already know (check out the Bf 109E-1 Instruction Sheet Revisions article). Also I had many parts from the first test shot frame and they were not perfect, the build was big pleasure. The kit fits excellently which is something what I appreciate very much. All the shortcomings of the 32nd scale Emil are well fixed on the 48th scale kit, and I suppose no putty will be necessary on any section. There were many questions about the under nose radiat

You'd be surprised, how some uncertainties, mistakes or build steps changes in the instruction sheet can be solved by test build. This one quick build model was done by Eduard CEO Vladimir Sulc (remember, also the very first MiG-21MF was build by himself). Currently, we're still applying some minor changes on tools of this new Bf 109E-1. Related pr
