Kahunaminor Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Welcome to what should be the second build of this GB, the venerable Hasegawa Bf109G-6. I have had this kit for some time, collecting bits of AM, awaiting the right moment to present itself. The obligatory opening shots: Again the final scheme is undecided as yet but it will be one of the two provided: For Grislawski's aircraft, I also pulled the profile from the Eduard Bf109G-06 Royal Class to compare: Bartel's aircraft need a tropical filter and that is included in the AM: Onto the AM. Well if I cannot do something with this lot, I should give up. First is the HGW Riveting set, a first for me but I am keen to put my toe in the water, so to speak. On the metal side of the AM aisle we have Eduard full PE set, blotch mask set which may or may not get a run, canopy mask, Rexx exhausts and Master Barrels Fw190A-6 armament set for the MG131 tips, MG151 barrel for the gondolas and pitot: Moving over to the resin side of the AM aisle, we have Ultracast extra wide prop blades, wheels (on order) and Bf109G seat with belts, EE spinner, QB Tropical filter So that sees me set up for an exciting run of firsts.

georgeusa Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I am very curious about the riveting set as I have never seen one applied. Will be watching this with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahunaminor Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks one and all, The final pieces of resin arrived so the build is green lit: I just have to select a tyre type. The control column set has one each of an E and F/G/K type so good for either build. Regards, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The control column set is a nice upgrade, didn't know they existed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looking forward to this, it's still a nice kit despite it's age. Good luck with the HGW set, I'm doing some ' free line ' rivets at the moment. Take your time and be careful to press out all the water from under the film, is my advice. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi, me again. I have just spent about ten hours riveting a 1/32 Spitfire and they disappeared under a light coat of primer, so I am not impressed. I hope yours work better. Good luck.
