        Can't wait to see if it is a horror of a kit or if the 1:48 scale was better then the 1:72 scales

              To save you having to hold your breath for an extended period, here's a review of the Starfix 1/54th Bf109:-

                cheers for that mate it er did make interesting reading , I actually can't wait to build it when it does come that is , if it does prove unbuildable it will end up as a crashed relic in a field and from reading that it might just make the kit look better

                  There's a contrary side of me that would love to re-scribe and super-detail one of these and then enter it in a contest, just to horrify the 109 aficionados. (Strictly speaking, since modelling contests are supposed to be judged on modelling ability rather than accuracy, it would actually be possible to win with a well-built Starfix kit...)

                      I like it, it is a basic kit that cost next to nothing and is an ideal source for messing with, trying techniques and having a great time with your lad...that's the best thing.

                        Just to add, that Starfix do a 1/48 109, it is a really terrible kit with little detailing, poor fit and stickers for decals, worth doing if you want to use up some left over paints or just practise on.

                            Alan i can't wait to see how good a job ya do on it.

                            Migrant that's it I think that model makers should be given more marks/points for taking a dog of a kit and making them shine and not just by adding better bits to it or taking parts of one kit and adding it to make it better. would love to see all those who have far better skill then me and my lad have a go at these dog kits and make them look amazing.
