1:72 Bf-109 K-4 - Engine (for Eduard Kits / 3D-Printed)

1:72 Bf-109 K-4 - Engine (for Eduard Kits / 3D-Printed) — Eduard, scale 1:72

This set from Eduard is not an aircraft model but a 3D-printed resin detail set of the engine for experienced modelers. It replaces the simplified plastic engine with a finely rendered powerplant and makes a build with the engine cowlings open possible. The set is intended for the plastic kit of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 from Eduard in 1:72 scale.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst was one of the last production versions of the legendary German fighter of the end of the Second World War. It was powered by the inverted V12 Daimler-Benz DB 605, whose detail this set faithfully reproduces.

Building tips

• Wash the parts free of uncured print resin residue so that paint and glue adhere properly.
• Cut the 3D-printed parts from their supports with a sharp knife or a saw.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); sand with respiratory protection.
• For the greatest effect, consider building with the engine cowlings open so the detail shows.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the Eduard Bf 109 K-4 model in 1:72 scale.
• Experienced modelers with experience of working with resin and 3D-printed parts.
• Anyone interested in a faithful engine bay and a diorama presentation.

This is an accessory, not a standalone model. To use it you need the base Bf 109 K-4 kit from Eduard in the matching scale. Paints and glue are not included in the package.
