Revell 1/32 Bf 109G
By Kari Kuronen
I´ve been surfing the LSP website for some years. It has been very, repeat, very interesting. I´m also interested to 1/32 scale aeroplanes, especially WW II.
As I was a kid, there were lots of models in this scale, and I bought, begged and sometimes borrowed them, built them and played with them. (I was an ace with my Revell Bf 109, because I was able to rise my landing gear!)
Now, I´ve found again in my early 50 years, modeling. I was lucky enough, to have contacts to IPMS-Finland, and through them I was treated by modelers who wanted to get rid off theirs old Revell 1/32 scale models. Well, now I own some lot of old Revells:
- Spitfire
- Seafire
- Hurricane
- Beaufighter (two of them)
- Bf 109 G
- Bf 109 F
- Bf 110
- Zero
- P-40
- Corsair (two of them)
- Hayabusa Oscar
- Thunderbolt (two of them, bubbletop and razorback)
- Lightning P-38 (two of them)
- Typhoon
- Stuka
These models are really treat for myself, and I´m not only enjoying studying the boxes, but whats in them.
But, I´m also starting to build these treats. My first one is the Me 109 G. Its was my first model in years and I tried to make it as authentic as possible with my skills.
I lengthened the fuselage, built the wheel wells, made the wheel bulbs top of the wings smaller, added some scratch detail in the cockpit, wing 20 mm guns...
