Well had some more fun putting another model together. This time it was a Hobby Craft Bf 109C. Yep the description reads Bf 109B-2 though, well let's just say the kit has a few problems. Not the best kit I have bashed out and as I said it has some problems. Even though it is shown as a Bf-109C the model is more representative of a Bf 109B-2. To be a C model it would have to have the exposed exhaust stubs and also wing armament, but not on this model. Another glitch in the kit was the placement of the rudder mast, it was sitting dead center on the rudder. I had to remove the kit rudder and replace it with a brass one that I fashioned out of some scrap. All in all the kit does turn out an ok Bf 109B-2 though, nothing fancy, just ok. I have some painted sprue hanging on the wall and found my charcoals, so tomorrow it gets its antenna and some exhaust stains. Over the next few days will also add some more weathering, but not to much in that these puppies did not see much action. I have a few kits lined up for my next project. Choices are between a couple of Accurate Miniatures Yak-1s, Hobby Craft P-35A, Eduard Polikarpov I-16 is what I am debating on now (Yep all 1/48th scale). I just picked up an 1/48th scale Eduard Avia B.534, but going to brush up on my skills a bit more before I do that one. Here is what the Bf 109B-2 looks like now and will still tweek it a bit over the next few days. Kind of like the two blade prop look on the Bf 109.
