... the F-107A.

This is Trumpeter's. There are some some inaccuracies to be corrected (cockpit interoir details and air intakes), but it's a good kit.

That's an odd one! I was thinking about building a Trumpeter 1/24 Bf109 K-4 (Just the one, I'd have no room in the house for another model that big!) at some point in the future but I heard that the Trumpy Fw190 D-9 had a few issues... is the K-4 a bit better?

Hi Paul,

I don't know the Fw 190 D-9 from Trumpeter...
I remember the Bf 109 K-4 had some inaccuracies, particularly in the engine cowlings aera.
Here is a link to the Bf 109 G-10 :

The left side of the upper engine cowling is inaccurate. Not very difficult to correct but must be corrected.

Two pictures from the link above, with corrections :

I still have unbuilt the 1/48 MPM limited editions of the Me-109T and the FW-190S two-seater.
Think they are more or less rare items by now!

Hi Nico,

Yes, they are...

Great, Jicehem. I enjoy looking this art

Hi everybody,

A little problem arose

... The air intake is situated just 3 mm too far forward.
On a previous photograph, one can see I'm also correcting the vertical width of the air intake itself which must be 7 mm (6 mm on the kit). I corrected too the lower lips which have a wrong shape.

Cheers,
Jicehem
