JP Warbirds 1/5 scale Bf-109G

Hi all, in this thread I will show my new project. It is 1/5 scale Bf-109G. The first one came from my dad´s plans and molds at the end of 90´s. She was designed like a semi scale large combat airplane. Two years ago we decided to make it more scale and the Friedrich convert to Gustav version.
First models flew with foamy core wings and pneumatic retracts. The new kit will come with the wing plans or foamy core and will get electric retracts. For the next year we would like to prepare the fibreglass sheeting of the wingshttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...47130aba86.jpg

Thank you Mike!!

There are still some questions about the wingspan. I expeceted, that it would be clear when I mention that is 1/5 scale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109). Well, our kit is 1/5 scale, it means, that wingspan of the model is 1985mm (78,15in)

I would like to provide this kit with retracts, oleo legs and scale wheels. I asked 3 retracts producers if they would like to cooperate, we will see. From one I use to take oleo legs for Spitfire.
Here is one picture of pilot master.

I am getting back to Bf-109. When I finish P51 cockpit I will design one for the Bf-109. Yesterday I revised the Revi16B gunsight.
Here are pictures of the first one (not finished yet). Same as the older design, also the new will come with dark front glassing.

Finished the 1/4 and 1/5 scale Revi 16B. Happy with the result. Some better shots will come soon. Here are some better shots of the MG barrels and exhaust stacks.
Would like to start works on cockpit kit. At first the instrument panel.

Some better shots of the Revi 16B gunsight.
Now you can choose Mauser MG17 barrels if you prefer "G4" version. I did new design of those MGs. Same ase two options for gunsights, now have two options for machine gun barrels. MG131 and MG17.

Cowl latches are done. With those details will look cowl more authentic.

Here is the first pair of our Mauser MG17 barrels. I am happy with result, well now I can work on the cockpit.
With MG17 were armed also Bf-109E,F and FW-190 A1-A6

Some better shots of the MG17 barrels and Revi16B kit.

Some pictures of new design gunsight Revi C/12D. Ready made gunsights and kits will be available soon.

New gunsight Revi C/12D is almost done. Attached some pictures where you can see and compare the new and old design of the Revi C/12D.

I did new design of MG 131 barrels. Hour ago I finished the first pair of that premium model.

New detailed shots of accessories are here! Some more will come soon.

Another kit is in progress in North Carolina. Got those pictures day ago.
