- A complicated assembly with many (bad) surprises. A real short run where the best meets the worst. An unknown Messerschmitt designed for high altitude, the Hohenjäger was built in very small series and achieved some success in European skies.
built this one recently , filler galore & the canopy was missing but had a spare that fitted , finished kit turned out better than I thought it would ,fun build ,next build was an Airfix P40 which just fell together , bit boring after the Pegasus
As we said here un France : "un grand moment de sport "😂😂😂
Superb build Stéphane 👏
Hello my friend! I tried to did the best, but it was not easy.... ;-(
Got to love those old kits. Ones that need good old fashioned "modelling".
Great work.
Sure! Thanks for your comment ;-))
I think that this modification of 109 is a very unusual !
Very good work!!!
Yes, it's really a very strange 109. Thanks for your comment mate!
Very good work and interesting model!
Thanks Marian, this 109 is very unusual, i had a big problem (again) with the Tamiya varnish which burned all the paint!!! I did a new coat but the kit was damaged.....
buen trabajo! me gusta mucho este kit!
¡Muchas gracias! Este sorprendente 109 es casi completamente desconocido. Tengo un segundo en stock de otra marca. Buen fin de semana.
Well done on making something decent from a short - run kit!
Just a brief background about the real aeroplane -- Germany had difficulty producing high altitude fighters as they could not obtain sufficient rare metals and raw materials to manufacture the lightweight and high temperature alloys needed for airframes, and especially lighter weight engines and superchargers. They didn't have anything that would compare at altitude with the large multi - cylinder engines by Pratt & Whitney or Wright and the RR Griffin or late versions of the Merlin.
Besides the general shortage of fuel they had not developed catalytic cracking, so did not have sufficient quantities of high octane aviation fuel
The Bf 109H was an attempt to solve that problem, but not successful
As for the kit itself, I wonder if it would have been easier if you had combined it with a mass produced injection moulded kit of a Bf 109G or Bf 109K?
Here's a tip that I must admit I've only found out about myself - for large gaps lay down a strip of plastic card or a length of stretched sprue before finishing it off with filler
Thanks for your so interesting comment. It is certain that rebuilding from suitable kits would have been an elegant solution.
Indeed, the filer has retracted in some places, especially at the junction of the wings. But the worst part was the application of the Tamiya varnish which literally burned the paint already applied on the kit. I had to start all over, losing most of the surface detail!.
Thanks again, very happy to read you and, of course... Happy new year!
tengo el mismo de AZmodel para armar, tus vídeos son una gran fuente de inspiración
¡Hola Julio! Gracias por este comentario alentador. Tuve un gran problema con el barniz brillante de Tamiya que destruyó la pintura. Tuve que empezar de nuevo pero se perdieron muchos detalles y algunas superficies quedaron marcadas ... Qué lástima. Fue un buen comienzo ... Nos vemos pronto amigo.
Excelente muy bueno , muy buena edición de vídeo
Hello Daniel!Muchas gracias por este lindo comentario. Usé un nuevo editor de video, ¡es solo el de Windows!
Ah, the 'joy' of short-run kits.. I still have their VG.33 in the stash. You sure managed to turn this one into a nice model though!
Question: what type of putty did you use? I'm asking since you used a cotton bud to smooth it out; it probably isn't Revell putty.. Or is it Vallejo acrylic putty?
Hello mate! I had a huge problem with the Tamiya Gloss Varnish which destroyed the paint. I had to redo everything but details were irretrievably lost. The putty used is Prince August.
@@stephanedavid3421 I feel you; I recently had a varnish issue with my DFS 230 which crackled the paint. Haven't corrected that one yet..
But it looks like you saved your model quite well. Keep up the good work!
@@KitKabinet I am nevertheless terribly disappointed: the kit was a great challenge and it started off pretty well. I will no longer use Tamiya varnish: the three new sprays go in the trash. It makes me crazy!
👏👌
Thanks Igor
Belle variante de m 109 que je ne connais pas
Salut David! Pour être franc, je ne la connaissais pas non plus avant d'avoir le kit entre les mains. L'appareil est très élégant, par contre j'ai vraiment galéré pour monter cette maquette :-(
Geez! The quality on the plastic seems a "little" below average... Good work!
Hello mate! Oh yes, this kit was not easy! Thanks for this nice comment ;-))
@@stephanedavid3421 Good to see someone getting some plastic together. I have not had time to build at all really but I am longing to.
@@pkmodeling it was very complicated to do something right with this kit, in addition to the very coarse parts, i encountered a big problem with the Tamiya spray varnish which dissolved my enamel paint! I had to start all over again but details were irretrievably lost ... I did notice that you hadn't posted videos for some time and it's a shame because your edits are absolutely superb!
@@stephanedavid3421 I hope to post something before christmas😁
@@pkmodeling Oh yes! For us, in France, no choice: building kits at home! :-)))))
