Redboost Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hi fellow modellers, this is result my of latest "weekend" build (took me actually 6 days to complete). I must have a soft spot for "outsider" kits which I usually prefer in favour of much better kits... You may know the Airfix effort, not completely bad, but also with odd areas a details. I simply built it as it came with only most striking details replaced as were the propeller, wheels and some cockpit details. The "109" boffins will hopefully forgive the E-4 windshield, but I did not intend to ruin a vacform canopy I save for my next AMG builds. The decals are from recent Hannant's "Spanish Civil War" sheet. Cheers Libor 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Beautiful model. Nice to see a very familiar shape in unfamiliar (for me, anyway) markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 The more that I see of your work the more I think about taking up knitting instead..... Beautiful job. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 1/72? Are you sure? Looks far bigger! Stunning modelling on all levels. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu12 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'd normally critique that it's not dirty enough, but I can't! Excellent! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Does anybody know - do the frame numbers come as standard on this airfix 1/72 decal sheet - or are they 'aftermarket'??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It varies on which boxing you get. Not in the starter set but on the A01008 boxing they are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Very nice indeed. One of my favourite aircraft and schemes. I like that you haven't overdome the weathering; SCW 109's were kept quite clean. Outstanding for 6 days! TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
