Hi Alan
Don’t write off the eduard detail sets too easily, I personally think the pre-coloured instrument panels and seat belts really lift an aircraft build....only go with the basic set though....the rest is not that useful.

[Guest]

ah ok was just thinking not to get myself too technical at first if that makes sense :flushed:

[Tim Marlow]

The pre-coloured stuff is like hard decals really....just get the simplest set, the most useful part is the instrument panel, they are really sharp and lift the cockpit finish considerably.

TBH, I’d say: build your first model(s) without these kinds of embellishments. Walk before you run, etc.

cheers tim, so the pack is that labelled as the eduard weekend pack for the 109 ?? sorry for the stupid questions !!!

Welcome to the forum Alan...from the sound of it you are off to a good start. Picking a scale to model in is very important. Your first consideration should be, how much space do you have to dedicate to your completed models. Then there is the consideration of cost. Just a couple of things to think about before you jump in.
Cheers, Rick H.:thinking:

Hi mate
I was referring to the eduard set EDFE 205. It’s one of the zoom ranges. The parts are pre-coloured and self adhesive, though I’ve needed to glue them in the past. The weekend sets are the whole aircraft....
Jakko may have a point though....and Rick’s advice about scale and space is also sound.....

space not a prob as im just in the process of building my man cave lol do appreciate your help !!! sadly in society these days it is seemingly sparce :flushed:

Hi, well as a kid I used 'Revell contacta professional 25g',
I don't think it's a bad glue, but for me the problem was that everytime I had a bit of time to work on a model I lost 20 minutes cleaning the needle ... When the glue is stuck in the needle you have to take out the needle and hold it above a flame to burn out the glue...

I think you don't need to buy another glue but you can give it a try some day

Cheers

Ha, anything that involves fire is right by me ! :smiling2: .

I can whole-heartedly agree with this statement...even if I didn't take the advice on board :flushed:
The Sdkfz 251/1 I'm still in the process of finishing has been an utter nightmare using Eduard's finest brass fiddly add-on bits!
I fairness I have leaned a lot of what not to do throughout the extremely unpleasant experience I've gained over the last few months!

Damn, I'd kill to be 51! Nothing like adding almost 20 years to your life. Oh, and JR. wouldn't surprise me a bit if you did have a horse and cart. The Lads at my wingy thing job have accused me of working on Pterodactys! Can you imagine, a youngster like me having to endure such abuse? Shameful!
