1/32nd Me109 G4

This was my first Me109 in 1/32nd scale (Revell/Hasegawa). the changes done to the model were the MDC Spinner, True Detail wheels and Quick Boost exhausts pipes. I used the kit's decals.

What a bird

Prosit Chris

Great, what a lovely scheme, are tghidli xejn imma desert scheme m'hawnx bhala.

Very nice job chris

noooooooo it does not have the correct spinner because from the time that i built this 109, MDC have recorrected their spinner... so i think that there was something wrong in the shape.... yuppppp

..They just add some prop blades decals that's all no big deal....

..Ok let's take a closer look to the spinner...

Now his is the actual shape of the spinner...

so judge for your self ...look good at the taper of the spinner and the panel line....

this is the eagle strike...

and this is the MDC..

what is that guy doing?!!!

well i just don't know what to say Marco... all i know is that my G4 has the MDC spinner whilst the other 4 have the Eagle one and the G4 is not convincing me. could me my immagination but it seems strange.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR ON THIS TOPIC MARCO....

FirstLook

This 1/32 scale replacement spinner has been designed for Hasegawa's new Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 by master pattern maker Gregg Cooper of ScaleQuest.

This is an accurate new spinner based on photographs and measurements:

The taper is corrected with a slight indentation where the front portion of the spinner is attached to the rear portion.

The blast tube has been enlarged and emphasised with a flared spinner opening (the blast tube can be shortened to match photo source of desired aircraft subject).

The openings for propeller blades are tapered to the rear.

A raised data plate for the spinner and backing plate with attachment hole has been added.

The forward spinner cap line is also more pronounced.

A drill jig is included to align the propeller shaft opening in the backing plate. A data plate decal is supplied with all EagleCals for Bf 109s in 1/32 scale

This is a simple but quite noticeable improvement over the Hasegawa kit part. The clever casting of the spinner, the backplate and the hub makes this a very straightforward project.

Recommended.

He's checking the burrel if it's clean ...

Chris here is why in my opinnion the MDC is better....





MDC better..

Yes I think so

Not your think so ...it's 109% better ......

agreed Marco and very convincing, that is an excellent study and conclusion. i had fixed the position of the line but the shape is difficult to change.

well im still not convinced yet!! there was some good reviews on both spinners. follow the links below. but the is somthing strange.... why MDC deteted their spinner???!!!!. follow the third link. the MDC spinner is/was CV32014 and in their list it states simply DELEATED. if it was that good and i think that it is the most wanted item to me a very good 109 in 1/32nd scale, i don't think the they would deleated their product! all the other 109 upgrading items are still available. and the argument goes on..............

now i have posted the question on Hyperscale forum too!!!!

I'm sorry Chris for all this ,your 109's all of them looks like 109's .....but your are trying to convince me something that is wrong ..so I cannot stay silent...

Now the matter that MDC removed CV32014 from the cat..just to add the stencil decal and gave it a new cat No CV32029 ....



But business is business , the man who cast for MDC split with MDC and went with somebody else ..so it's not a matter that the spinner is wrong ..it's just a matter of trade.....

ajma kemm inti helu!!! ghal li jista jkun ma tafx jekk kienx izewweg jew isepara jew kemm ghandu tfal hux?!!

fuq il forum tal Hyperscale persuna wahda irrispondiet u dan kien li qal...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to know which of these 1/32nd Me109 spinner has the correct shape. Both are good spinners (much better than the Hasegawa's offering in their kits) but i think that one of them is still slightly wrong in shape. I have both spinners and they look different. So which one will be? MDC or Eagle Parts?

Eagle Editions Spinner all the way. MDC is too small in diameter at the base IMHO nt April 21 2010, 9:16 AM

good day my friend

Chris, ibza ftit ghal sehibna ghax dan l-ahhar qedghin intuh ftit kedded, l-ewwel tal kuluri black and white bil kulur, l-istorja tal 'egg planes' u issa liema huwa l'aqwa spinner imma xorta inhobbuh nibqaw kollha.


p.s. - Nice work from start to finish.

With all due respect to this Brad Main or whatever is his name on hyperscale, IMHO, No One and I repeat No One is above Marco vis a vis Bf109 related!!!!!!

Marco, I do rub it in whenever I get the chance, to see you especially worked up, BUT I WILL STAND BY YOU ON THIS MATTER BLINDFOLDED!!!!!
