Small kits don't take a long time to build . . right? Well, after 2 months I finally finished my build of the 2018 release of the Airfix Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 (A01008A) plastic model kit in 1/72 scale!

This is one of their "pillars" of the 1/72 scale range, with this model plane kit being usually available in some form or another. Whilst tooled in 2012 and is a relatively good model of the Bf109, I did find that there were a few little things here and there that didn't quite help my impression of this kit.

Join me on the workbench as I get this model kit out of the box and build it, using it as a chance to try out new tools and techniques! Not to mention pairing it with some Luftwaffe Personnel figures (A00755V) from the Airfix Vintage Classics range as part of a mini-diorama! I explore my thoughts on this kit, my struggles and successes and round the video off with a review.

Thanks to CT Scale Models for providing a review sample of their canopy masks for this kit - it was a great addition and helped make the build much quicker! Take a look here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395278465499

I used this build to try out the free sample of the Gaahleri Mobius 0.3mm Airbrush and also see what that product was like! 🖌️I've managed to get you a 10% discount off Gaahleri products on their website!
