Eduard 1/48 Bf109G Stencils
By Jacob Russell
This set of stencils is intended for Eduard's new 1/48th scale Bf109G kits but it is really suitable for any 1/48th scale Bf109G kit. There are a total of 77 different stencils on the sheet to apply to the 109G airframe. In certain instances you have several variants of the same stencil to choose from, like wing walks and trestle ("Lift Here") marks in 2 different colors, etc.
One distinctive feature of the set that might go unnoticed is a set of triangles for the MW-50 (Methanol-Water) tank. This stencil is only applicable to the Bf109G-10 and there are 3 versions, one for the Erla and Messerschmitt Regensberg factories, and one each for WNF and Diana. This is a thoughtful, and much appreciated, inclusion.
The decals are brightly printed, clearly legible and in register. What else can one ask for? This is a comprehensive, useful set of stencils. No Bf109G model is really complete without them. I recommend this stencil set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
