TheBaron Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I thought for one ghastly moment you'd begun making a scale jockstrap until I realized that was the harness. You've incredible patience John, they look fantastic! As does all the other wiring and detailing you've added. You're on the home straits now, despite trying to pickle yourself in rioja yesterday. Hope you didnt burn the spuds! Tony 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Evening guys. we are pretty much if not totally done now I think. I finished off the final bits tonight. the radio wire is on with the little cone bits too. (Quich foil to the rescue) and the nav lights are painted and on. all that's left are for me to dedicate the 250kg Havana, install on the rack and take a metric tonne of pics for the RFI. I'll post a final message and sign off this weekend hopefully with some shots to follow. Thanks for sticking with this one. About three months in total. but I think it was worth it. I have been thinking about the next build over the past week or two but have now started. A nice relax after that one at a slightly more manageable scale. can you guess what it is? I'll be doing another WIP if you fancy it. I'll post up and put a link here tomorrow dinner time. Thanks for everyone's help during the build. I'll do a full tarrah on the final post. untill then. Toodle pip. Happy Modelling guys. Johnny Bench space. Edited September 10, 2017 by The Spadgent 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't know about guessing what it is, but it isn't a Sopwith Camel! Do I win? Looking forward to the final pics! Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I cannot believe you are finished. Superb!!!! Now do not trip on the carpet while going to deposit your plastic wonder into the glass cabinet. It has happened before and graveyards are full of people who did it... Brilliant job! As to your next project... a U-Boot perhaps? or a souped up Caudron G.4? Yeah, the latter, without a doubt! Have fun! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks for the BIG love. Sorry for the lack of new build update today. My car died on me on the way to work this morning and I had to sort out a new alternator. . Dang nabbit. By the way no winners yet on the new build.

Squibby Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Amazing work mate, just caught up with your progress, the model is really turning out to be a stunner. Looking forward to your RFI pics soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsticker Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi Jonny Topical, It's been a most interesting build with lots of new (to me) stuff - tools & techniques, and a fantastic model as the outcome, you should be very pleased Looking forward to seeing the Typhoon coming together...so 1/72 is 1/3 the size of 1/24 so 3 times quicker? Discuss.... (I see you still haven't changed your avatar from the despised brew....) Cheers Geoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything at 1/24 does indeed take that bit longer to do, my previous 1/72 builds have taken about a third less time. how about that. We shall see what happens with the Tiff. thanks for tagging along, I'm glad you enjoyed the build and yes a new profile pic I think to rid myself of the dreaded brew. I actually hate Stella.

TonyTiger66 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This build has been the stuff of legends. The best Airfix 1/24 Bf 109 I've seen built, fullstop, and with a full pictorial write up of how it was done. The internet is sometimes 'A Good Thing'. Thanks to BM and spiffing chaps like yourself that share such builds, we all now have a brilliant online resource to help us build this venerable kit . Thanks for a great build Johnny, have a real ale on me ! TonyT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
