As a novice builder, I recently bought a few Marek models from ECardmodels and decided to give the BF109E a go (no butt joins!). I have noticed, as I have been reading on the forum, that the instructions is very sparse compared to my last build, the Inwald Spitfire Va. Searched the forum, but cannot find any mention of this model build. Anybody got some advice to share?
Started yesterday evening with the cockpit. The instrument panel is made up of 2 layers and I hit my first snag as I cut out the dials on the front face (my knife skills suck). I thought that I could round them out with a marker while colouring the edges. There was far too much ink bleed and it spoiled it. On the second try I once again roughly cut the holes, but used a toothpick with a little CA to round them out nicely, did not colour the edges. Unfortunately my photo's came out very badly, will rectify and post as I go along.
