The Eduard Bf-109s are some of my favorite models to build. They look great when done up. Of course there are limitations that plastic can do. So that is one of the reasons that we do resin aftermarket parts. Brassin is the Eduard resin line. It combines resin and photo etch in perfect harmony.

This set is designed for the Eduard Bf-109F series. Contained in a typical vacuformed plastic container you get five pieces of perfectly cast light grey resin and a masking set.

Removal of the parts from the sprue is easy enough. Nothing dramatic except the molded in detail which is impressive to say the least. I did have to sand down the spokes for both wheels. Each wheel is beautifully rendered. The tail wheel assembly is a single piece and looks great despite being a single piece.

Adding the parts to the kit is fairly straight forward. Don’t forget to add the tail wheel before you close up the fuselage.

I painted my wheels Alclad black primer first and then used the masks to paint the wheels Lifelike Tire Black. After the paint had dried I added the spokes. Weathering of the wheels started with a dry brush of artist oils Buff to the outer wheel. Then some Mig pigments were added to the center section working out. That was set in place with Mig Thinner.

Adding to the kit axle was fairly easy, however, I did have to thin my axles slightly to get them to fit. I could have drilled them out too. They were fixed in place with a drop of super glue. The fit was very tight.

The superior detail of the wheels, especially the tail wheel, makes this a great addition to your model. The masks worked perfectly. I loved the way they turned out.

Highly recommended
