The Eduard Bf-109G-6 and G-5 are beautiful kits. One of the complaints or discussions on the kit is that the exhausts have to be added early in the build and then have to be masked.

This Brassin set addresses this. Included in this clear vacuformed package are four pieces of light grey resin that are perfectly formed. There is additional detail included on the resin, namely the spark plug wires. The exhausts are hollowed out nicely. Also included in the packaging is a fret of nickel plated photo etch.

Adding the parts is easy enough. You just have to add the inserts with the opening in the front before you close up the fuselage halves. Then you can add the exhausts and photo etch deflectors at any time. I added mine at the end of my build. Care must be taken when adding the exhausts. They fit tight so you have to be careful not to break off the aft stack like I did on my one. They fit so tight that they do not need glue. The deflectors fit perfectly once you bend the right upper one. Everything else fits perfectly.

They look really good. I’m pretty happy with the results and will use them again. The additional detail is nice but the thing that is really nice is the ability to add the exhausts later in the build.

Highly recommended
