Tamiya and Aero Imageworks together

Does it get any better than this? I don't think so.

New 1/32nd scale Bf 109E-4 kit



While searching around for a kit to depict Galland's Bf-109E in 1/48 scale I came across this new kit from Dragon Models in their 'Wing Tech' Series in 1/32nd scale. This looks to be an excellent kit but for some reason it hasn't received much publicity.

Perhaps everyone thinks that only Eduard can do 109 kits but let me assure you if you think that you'd be wrong. Admittedly I'm yet to start building the kit, but a quick check of the parts reveals a nicely detailed kit that looks like it will fit together with precision. 

  
The kit reminded me of Tamiya's late mark Spitfires in 1/32nd scale, with its crisp, refined parts and the inclusion of engine and armament details. It also includes decals for five aircraft including Galland's W Nr 5819. Lets cut the parts from the sprues and get this one started!
