Mozzy19 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I started this the other day and thought I'd show how I was getting on with it. One thing that immediately strikes me is how small the 109 is. I also have even more respect for people who build in 1/72, this is small enough and it's 1/48! Sorry for the rubbish photos, they were taken in poor light...

Mozzy19 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks Ant. I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment after a rubbish 2016 for models ( didn't finish a single kit) so I'm making hay while the sun shines so to speak. Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzy19 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Only 1 picture, but a lot achieved. Essentially all I need to do before painting is a little bit of filler and sanding, all major construction is now done. Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzy19 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 White on. I'll try get the red fuselage band on tomorrow. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Missed a trick there mate. Should have just left the rudder off and painted it separately. Save a load of tape and time. Good effort though 👍🏿 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to leave it off because as you say it makes things easier but I got a bit carried away sticking things together Sean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Still plodding on. Painted the prop spinner, red fuselage band and the undersides of the wings (not that you can tell in the pics...) Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Silver on and the upper wings painted. Sean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Painted the canopy frame and started the camo on top of the engine cowl. And also a little size comparison to what the Americans used to throw off their carriers Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Major airframe painting is now complete, just a few bits of detail painting and then onto decals. Sean 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzy19 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 No decals yet, a bout of man flu put paid to that. I did manage to pant up the exhausts, wheel wells and main undercarriage. I also glossed the airframe so decals are a step closer... Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Got a few decals on it today. I had a bit of a nightmare with the fuselage cross on one side where it folded over on itself a little bit and wouldn't move once placed. But apart from that they went on very nicely, even the spinner decal didn't give me many issues. I might get the rest on tonight but I'll probably wait until tomorrow when the weather's supposed to be less nice Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the underwing decals did something similar but not quite as bad. On the plus side they are nice and thin and have settled down beautifully in the panel lines and rivets with no decal softener.

Mozzy19 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Last WIP photo for this one. Only a few of the more fragile pieces to put on and then it's done. Usual rubbish photo but at least I've got them showing no thanks to Photobucket Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
