First and first, Mery Christmas to all who celebrate today! All the best wishes, and may the sprue&glue be with us through whole next year! I've planned to participate North American Aviation GB (host: @trickyrich), but unfortunately GB didn't make it to the final group during bunnpoll, so why not build it then in this new GB category? Until the start of the build, I'll put this boxart as a placeholder - it will be replaced with the photo of sprues... I won't tell you yet what do I have on my mind in terms of markings and livery, let it be a surprise in a way but for sure it will be kind of a exotic one! Cheers, S.

Fantastic finish! I agree with Marco - this truck makes me wanna have some beer! 😋

Thanks for the kind words mates. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Cheers, S.

Or make them moveable? 🙄 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, S.

No problem Dennis, we learn altogether through this research work for our kits But hey, looking at first photo of starboard side on first link you gave, you can see pattern of brown fields around Yugoslavian roundel. And also if you look more closely, it is visible the tail wheel is protruding top of the fuselage. Does this suggest this actually was a long tail wheel? 🤔 On this photo tail wheel is also visible protruding the fuselage top Anyway looking forward to softening camo edges and final look after setting decals. Keep going, doing good so far! Cheers, S.

Dennis, hope it's not too late if you wish to make some modifications to the camo, before you soften the cammo pattern edges. A friend of mine did this G-10 some 15 years ago, and I think he did the most correct camo pattern regarding to available reference. Here's the link to his finished kit: http://hsfeatures.com/bf109g10am_1.htm Hope it helps a bit... Cheers, S.

...and Aluminium it was! 😎 (Gunze MC218)

Details in wheelbay and doors itself are really nice, and it would be a shame to have them omitted if you choose to put the doors closed. 🤔 Of course you have the best idea how you would like these details to look in the end Cheers, S.

Absolutely gorgeous! This cammo suits it very well, and I must praise the quality of photos too! Cheers, S.

Wow, that shading on metal parts... 😍 And weathering on floats... huh.. brilliant! Nevermind you didn't made it with base - model itself is really masterpiece, bravo! Cheers, S.

Well, as it was a rainy day here in Belgrade, I thought it was perfect timing for doing some more painting. Other wing was painted in white, leaving some preshading visible underneath - I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Next on the schedule is Aluminium for the rest of bottom fuselage... Cheers, S.

No time to waste Today was rainy here in Belgrade, so it was perfect day for staying inside and do some painting. Panzergrau (Gunze H401) was applied overall, and lightened with few drops of white in few iterations. Few more days and we're off to RFI... Cheers and thanks for visiting this topic, S.

This looks awesome - very realistic weathering, I just can't wait for the finish Great job and skills Hewy! Cheers, S.

Well, I must admit this GB is going with the lightning speed, there are so many nice builds, so one almost cannot find time to do his own build Anyway, I've been doing some bits on mine Mustang during past few days. Etched wheelbay covers were primered with Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black on the inner side (that will go into aluminium), and also wheels, landing gear, and propeller. Extratech underbody intake radiators were assembled and glued to their place, and that small "fence" on oval frontal intake part. Dryfit show this part is very nice addition to this kit There will be some more work before assembling the cockpit with fuselage, and closing the fuselage itself, but I think after that everything should go straightforward more or less... Thanks for watching Cheers, S.

Finally I've managed to find time for painting i.e. primering for the start. I've sprayed Mr. Surfacer 1500 Grey overall, and after some half hour break I did the preshading too - Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black. Preshading was done on panel lines where camo colour is lighter, while panels that will be in aluminium colour were painted in black beetween panel lines, in order to give metalizer some depth. Fabric parts were painted in black where they are sunk. On underside I did some playing around. Bottom of the left wing is painted in black (asymmetrical RAF camo), but... I've painted only middle parts of panels, while panel lines were left almost visible in grey primer. I'm trying to make some distinction beetween panels, especially because panel lines are raised. Next one is white colour on other wing, and then we go "metallic way" Thanks for watching, S.

Thanks Jeroen After few days off, today I've found some time to put the primer on. I've used Mr. Surfacer Black 1500... Cheers, S.

Nice work on cockpit Rich, I really like detail of number 295 on 'box' behind the seat.

It seems you managed to salvage the kit very well, which is nice - a proof we always have to wait for some cooldown period after something break our plans :) This looks really good, details in cockpit are very realistic, although I too cannot see canopy attached on that photo 🙄 it may be a stealth one? 😇 Cheers and waiting for new photos, S.

This scheme looks brilliant on Phantom! It really refreshed its contours, and you did a really good job in painting those white stripes and tail flag! Cheers, S.

We have 2 more weeks left in 2019, so I thought "Why shouldn't I try to finish another one in quick-mode?" I've started work on the kit on Monday, most of the plastic parts were assembled then, while yesterday and today were spent on PE parts...pretty tiny as you can see on photos. Everything ready for the primer! Cheers, S.

Aoshima, ARII, Fujimi? Academy, Dragon? Bilek, ICM, KP?

These modifications look really cool, I like how you extended tail fin, while cockpit..huh.. no words!

I like how interior turned out, keep going!

You're going very well and also clean and precise with this one!

Pretty detailed cockpit, those Eduard bits raise the level of realism!
