1:48 Bf-109F wheel bays angular PRINT

Eduard 1:48 Bf 109F landing gear bays of the angular type (3D printed accessory)

Eduard 1:48 Bf 109F landing gear bays are detailed 3D printed landing gear bays (wheel bays) of the angular type for building a Messerschmitt Bf 109F model in 1:48 scale. It is not an aircraft model and not a whole kit; it is a replacement detail part that takes the place of the simpler bays from the original plastic kit. Direct 3D printing makes it possible to capture the busy interior of the bays faithfully: the structures, ribs, runs and skinning that are clearly visible with the gear down and that markedly raise the realism of the underside of the model.

Fitting and use

• Once the parts are out, rinse them in lukewarm soapy water and remove any printing residue
• Separate the bay carefully from the print supports and clean and sand the mating surfaces
• Check the fit against the fuselage before gluing and fine-tune it carefully if need be
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate), which holds printed parts reliably
• Bring the detailed interior out with a dry brush and a fine wash once painted

Who it is for

For modelers building the Bf 109F in 1:48 scale who want faithful, busy landing gear bay detail instead of a simpler plastic rendering. Working with 3D printed parts and super glue suits more experienced modelers.

Protect your airways when sanding and work in a ventilated room. Handle super glue carefully. Keep out of the reach of children.
