stevej60 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Hi folk's just before she goes into the loft here's a recent build for the MTO GB the kit is well known to most and is a cracking build a bit fiddly in places I really don't like the individual exhaust stubs but as it's my third go at the kit they must be doing something right! A Libya based aircraft it retained it's European scheme before the sand/green mottled scheme worn later.Thank's for looking.

BIG X Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Wow - I seemed to have missed this - before you popped it in the loft - what is the final varnish coat? Satin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little more work Ian and should be done,It's a mid war scheme with a similar mottled finish to this one. 3 hours ago, BIG X said: Wow - I seemed to have missed this - before you popped it in the loft - what is the final varnish coat? Satin? It's Humbrol matt coat but thinned for the airbrush with white spirit which gives a slight sheen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what you can achieve with an airbrush - when I used Humbrol matt coat it simply turned everything white - almost like a plane on a frosty day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rattle can version ruined a couple of my builds I use the small bottles which if thinned give the same finish using a flat brush . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, Is the Me 262 kit also in 1/48? Do you have it already and can you tell already something about the quality of this Trumpeter kit? I also plan to build the Trumpeter 262 in 2017? Thanks Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Michael I think the Trumpeter Me262 is 1/32, the sister company Hobby Boss do a comprehensive range in 1/48 of the Me262, which is a very good kit. A good looking 109 Emil, nice finish and it looks ready for action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Michael It look's superb in the box Micheal a dry fit of the fuselage shows a great fit,detailing is finely done with panel lines and rivet detail I like the front wheel bay which is cast as a solid piece of metal for weight.It certainly looks like a 262!Yes it's 1/48.
