original 1/32 BF109F-2

  • Hello my friends. It’s with great excitement that I’d like to introduce this to you — a revolutionary paper model kit.
    First of all, as you can see, this is a fully laser-cut set. Every frame structure and skin panel is pre-cut by laser; all you need to do is pop out the parts and glue them together. This cuts down more than half of your building time. In fact, the designer built a complete model from the kit in just one afternoon at the show, and put it on display at the booth right after finishing.
    Second, the skin segmentation has been redesigned with unmatched realism. Every builder has run into the same frustration: why do designers place seams in such illogical spots? This kit completely changes that situation. All panel seams sit exactly where they belong — matching the real aluminum panel joints on the full-size aircraft.
    Furthermore, the kit comes complete with accurate rivet lines and engraved panel lines, with clear differentiation between rivets and access panel fasteners. For the paint scheme, it features realistic weathering, with only subtle artistic exaggeration applied to engine oil stains.
    The assembly instructions follow a layout similar to KA models, though far less complicated thanks to the lower part count. Overall, this kit is categorized as a beginner-friendly build in terms of difficulty.

  • Dear lisiming,

    I moved this thread to the Gallery section.

    Nice work and thanks for deleting the ugly cross.

    An opinion without 3.14 is an onion. You'll understand.

  • Below are photos documenting the prototype testing process of this kit.

    The skeleton is made of balsa wood. The wing part comes as a single piece; wing surfaces are divided as required.

    This is nothing. Abiding by community and national regulations is the most basic standard of conduct.

  • Instead of designing separate standard bridging strips for each skin panel, this kit provides a single pre-cut straight bridging strip

    Hmm, I don’t think this is a good idea for such a detailed model like yours. The strips are quite important for the fit and should a) conform to the shape and b) their thickness needs to be included in the design. Just my 2ct.

  • A very well designed model. I particularly like toe idea of the seperate Glueing strips.
    Only thing I would do is color them to avoid white flashes.
    Different colors obviously to match the camouflage pattern.
    Can the model be bought somewhere?

    I'm not very familiar with how to sell products abroad, but if you need it, these issues can all be overcome. Without counting any taxes or fees, the price for this would be $19.

    Based on my experience, even adhesive edges designed to follow curves still need to be cut into segments to ensure proper bonding. Of course, curved adhesive edges always perform better—this simplified design is adopted for universality and to save on layout costs.

  • Straight strips will never fit into curved parts. They should look like part 2a. Everything else is useless. And cut the stright strip into pieces to fit is.... even as a beginner i haven't done such a crazy thing

    die Zukunft geschieht, egal was man tut

  • You can also make the lashes like Wilhelmshavener (WHV) did it more than 50 years ago.


    Then it will also reduced space on the print sheet.

    Give it a try and you might change your mind. In fact, I've been doing this since several models ago. It doesn't need to fit perfectly—as long as it does its job, that's enough.

    That's a great idea that takes everything into account—maybe I'll do it that way next time.

  • I also want to support Walters methode which is state of the art today.

    See here two fuselage parts from my current project the Halinski model released in 2004.

    As Walter showed it the lashes are also colored like the parts.

    You have to know that our forum comulated thousands of years of experience.;););)

  • Ich sag nur Sergey Mechansky Orden für mutige Montagen.... You won`t understand these words, which are a running gag here, but believe me, that describes your method perfect

    I've always been trying some crazy building methods. Some work out well, some don't. But you won't discover anything better without trying.
