These new resin
items from Cutting
Edge Modelworks will permit you to upgrade the wheel wells on all 1/32
Hasegawa Bf 109s with large tires which required large overwing bulges. In
this set you get the inboard lower kit wing with that contains a wheel well of
the proper depth plus all the lovely wheel well detail you need to really dress
up this kit.
The conversion is
very straight forward but it will require you to cut the lower inner kit wing
along panel lines and use the resin parts in it's place. Pretty straight
forward....but make sure your X-Acto knife has a sharp blade.
This combination
gives you
-
a wheel
well of the proper depth,
-
a detailed
well "cap" (in reality it was the underside of the top wing
skin, including the stiffeners), and
-
true
three-dimensional effect of the wheel well, cap, and you can see the
underside of the wheel well bulge though the kidney shaped hole in the
wheel well cover.

Resin casting
is of a very high quality and all the detail is very well done with no air
bubbles. This
new resin set from Cutting
Edge Modelworks really is
an excellent set and is much needed for anyone wanting to build a Bf-109 with
the wider tires and upper wing bulges.....not to memntion the lovely wheel well
detail.
I would like to
thank Cutting Edge
Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
