Hi
Pictures of my latest MOC the famous German WW2 fighter Messerschmitt Bf-109 are
now available on Brickshelf
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=69828
The model is slightly larger than the stud to a foot scale with a length of 33
studs (28 ft) and a wingspan of 38 studs (32,5 ft).
As you can see the model has many building techniques in common with my P51-D
Mustang presented a couple of weeks ago. I have developed the wing leading edges
in order to improve shape and stability (a must for my next model the Spitfire
with its elliptical wing). The cockpit canopy is also new, here I have combined
part 6070 with two adventures windscreens (30161). This solution can be used for
a number of WW2 aircraft. The problem is for the pilot who has to slimmed to fit
inside.
My apologies to Shaun for modelling the same aircraft at the same time, but this
has been a long time project for me too. The successful dihedral construction of
the wings became a breakthrough for my aircraft production line. The Spit will
hopefully be out on Brickshelf tomorrow.
Questions or comments are most welcome

Way to take it up a notch Mattias!
It's really cool to come back after a few month's absence and see all the new
developments. It's an exciting time to be a builder and spectator for sure!

Really nice Mattias! Great colors, and I like the wing guns.
Interesting canopy solution, too. Though I cheated and dremeled a
windscreen to make mine, I'll put a plug in for my Me109G I did a while back:

Take care,

Thanks Gary
I like your Me-163. I think I shall make a copy and place them together.

Wow. This one is really cool, especially the way you built the canopy!
I look forward for other planes from you, that's for sure!

Hi Mattias,
hey, great job on your Bf-109! I noticed your model a few hours ago and got
really excited.
The way you modeled the fuselage is awesome! I wanted do build the Bf-109 myself
but couldn't find the time yet. I think I will just make one similar to yours
since I can't find a better way to do it anyway! :-)
But one thing I may add, the wings I like better on your P-51D because they are
thinner.
Are you going to present the CAD-file for your plane models? And are you planing
to make any other German WW2 plane models?
Can't wait to see the Spitfire!
Take care
Klaus

Thanks Klaus
Good to see that you now are active on Lugnet. I have got much inspiration from
your great models the DC3, Ju52, Me262, Storch etc.
I plan to publish ldr-files when the final design is settled. In the mean time I
can send you (or anyone else) a preliminary version if you like. Just drop me an
email to mattias.ma@telia.com
I must do some more German planes. Maybe a twin-engined night-fighter with radar
aerials.

Mattias,
This looks great, a very cool way to model the canopy, and the smooth wings add
a lot.
Thanks,
George

Very nice!
Looking forward to the Spitfire too!
What's next after that? Zero? Don't forget Hurricane, a lot do when it comes to
WWII! And Stuka would be a challange!
How about a group shot later when you have some more models? Or do you take them
apart between the models? An dogfight CAD-scene/photo would rock!

Thanks Tobbe
Next model?
A German twin engined night fighter as I wrote to Klaus or some other colourful
fighter: I think the P-47 Thunderbolt is un-built so far. Shaun has already made
an excellent Stuka and a super P-38 Lightning. Hurricane is a fine aircraft but
it would not differ so much from the Spitfire when done in Lego. With the
Japanese planes it is the problem with the green colour.
More photos will come just be patient

Hi,
I really like the model, IT IS GREAT!, and I like the cockpit design. Great job
with the front of the wings. I think it adds something but I am not sure what.
I really like all the SNOT and I like the shape of the front of the plane. I
like the yellow tipped propeller and wings.
Could you maybe post some pictures of the underside of the plane? Does it have
wheels? How did you attach the plane to the stand?
Great model
Good luck with more

Thanks Erik
More pictures will be published shortly. My kind friend Dan is working hard with
the camera.
The models don't have any wheels yet. The stands are originating from the
Starwars UCS sets. I have used Hinge Bricks 1 x 2 Locking (30365 and 30364) to
connect the plane to the stand. Thanks to the locking hinge the angle of the
plane can easily be varied.

Hi all Spitfire fans!
The first pictures opponent to the Bf-109 are now available
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=70352
Please note that this is only an early version that has to be refined in several
ways. The colour scheme on the fuselage especially, addition of pilot and
cockpit equipment, the tail section and markings on sides. For several reasons
it has to become airborne before perfectly developed (ICSS 3)
I have used the new 12x3 wedge plates as part of the wing trailing edges. Light
bluish grey :( unfortunately. I got them from the new ISD miniset. I noticed the
new grey colours but also that there are two versions of the new dark bluish
grey - I say the great Lego company has a serious quality problem.

Hi Mattias,
I'll echo everyone else ... great job! I love how slim your cockpit canopy
looks. That something I struggled for a long time with. Your P51 wing design
is a true winner, and you've been able to produce a number of examples to prove
it in such a short time! Are you really cranking all of these (P51, Bf109,
Spitfire) out one after the other in rapid succession, or have you been working
on all of them all along simultaneously?

No apologies needed! I hope to have some good pictures of my BF109 design up on
Brickshelf this weekend. I think it would be interesting to have them
side-by-side to compare and contrast some techniques.
Great work!

Thanks for kind word Shaun
My building activity has been high for a number of days now (ask my family) It
was the finding of the new P-51 wing that started it all. I also want to finish
these models before the deadline of the ISCC 3 on the 31st Jan.
The models share a lot of common solutions so going from one to another is not
so much work. I use 1:72 line drawings from Osprey Aircraft of Áces series
scaled up by a factor of 2 as reference.
Maybe some of our planes will fly together at the Brickfest PDX Flyin.
Mattias
