Heres a top and bottom shot after dealing with a couple of oversprays (thank god for post it notes!). I'm now ready for Klear, but I'll do that later after this has well dried.

Nice looking 109 Dave, keep the pics coming, well done matey.

Thanks Tango

Now in need of superglue to finish the final asembly, still got some parts of the canopy to paint, but I have learnt over the years it best to do a little, do something else and then come back.

Latest picture, all ready for final assembly bar the canopy, which I'm still working on.

That is a superb paint job there.

This is what puts me off a lot of Luftwaffe stuff........the bloody mottling (or more like my lack of ability to do a decent job of it :whistle: ).

Great job, can't wait to see her finished. :thumbsup2:

Two more quick WIP shots whilst I'm waiting for the canopy glue to dry, before blowing the final coat of paint on this, and then sealing the decals with klear

all but there now, the mattcote when on just before going to work, I used tamiya flat in a 20/80 mix (flat/Klear) and it seems to have worked a treat. only got a fe minor decals to do now, and a bit of a look round to cure any odd bits needing attention.

Thanks Argaron

Done the last decals this morning and a bit of weathering on the cowling, I didn't think it would be a shiny and new for long. I have to say I'm please with this one.

the 20/80 matt coat worked a treat so I will remember that, infact I have a bottle mixed up of it now.

Anyway heres the finished item
