Great vid! Will you be building that T-55 that you showed WAY back?

[hyperscale]

The kit is still somewhere in that queue of unfinished projects. One day, one day...

[sooupdragon]

A question, is this the Eduard weekend edition model or the professional one? :o)

[Miezinis]

@hyperscale I think that is the main problem of modelists, we have many unfinished projects and we still start new ones. ;D

Sorry for my bad English. :)

@digglyda This is the same obsession with many models I think. Instead of building as you say examples that have never been seen. A good example of this is ship models, almost all of them are either aircraft carriers, battleships etc. but you almost never see any models of the auxilary ships which are just as important to the fleet.

I'm not a modeler myself but it seems there's allot of interest in BF109's. Recently Flight Journel had a commemorative issue (Oct 2010) featuring 109's and 190's. On the cover is a 109 with yellow cowling and it's packed with all sorts of pictures, camoflagues, details etc. I just thought I would mention this in case any of you are interested you can contact flight journal dot com and maybe they can help you out.

@digglyda

Perhaps its that very same functionality that makes it so appealing to some, hmm?

[digglyda]

I can't understand some modellers interest, bordering on obsession, with building endless examples of the 109. It must be the single most over-done modelling subject, wouldn't the manufacturers efforts been better spent on some alternative aircraft that have never been selected for creation.

There must be dozens of 109 kits available of pretty much al the variants of the different marks. Trouble is, the aircraft just isn't "interesting" to the eye, it's just too functional to be beautiful.

@148scalemodeling it just means that etched metal parts and (maybe) resin cast parts are already included in the box and you don´t need to buy any aftermarket parts, except for maybe seatbelts which is not always included in these ADULTS ONLY model kits. -ASK THE DEALER TO OPEN THE BOX AND SHOW YOU THE CONTENTS WHEN IN DOUBT!!!

[scoodlers]

do review only building models becuase i want to see a review on the unimax forces of valor 1:32 diecast bf-109g

[148scalemodeling]

[policeman1313]

Great video editing. Wish I could buy that, but I'm stuck with a 1:24 trumpeter 109 G-2 kit.
