    These seem to have slipped into my shopping bag that makes a total of 16 109s. I can now do the Croatian, two Yugoslavian G10s and the Italian G6AS

    Wish me luck .5mm brass rod should be near scale. Reminds me of Hellraiser for some reason.

    I do tend to favour the eclectic these days. Whereas in my modelling youth I would have done all of these in Luftwaffe unit markings, probably even doing two or more in similar schemes with different gruppen bars!

    My bad, consider myself duly penitent .

    I’m game
  6. Marklo
    Yes I think that sounds about right.

    I shall have to break out my Janes book of fighting aircraft 1918 to make sure I detail the engine correctly. Wasn’t the Oberusal a listen earlier built le Rhone. I know it wasn’t as good and that many of the German aces paid a bounty for captured le Rhônes ( afair a bottle of Champagne)

    Milliput cannon blisters added probably a bit oversized I’ll sand them down a bit once the glue sets fully. Just some seatbelts and the canopy and it’s ready for primer. That makes 2 of the 15 at that stage, my plan is to have all 15 ready for the primer by the end of next week.

    In today’s update from Messerschmitt works west, all 15 mostly assembled, filler on the Avia and the G14, the G2 is ready for primer and the TL Jaeger gets some ( slightly oversized) cannon blisters. The Heller K now a G6 gets some bulges, before getting a full rescribe

    So I hear you say, zut alors, quell idiot ( pardon my French) how can a German plane designed by a Dutchman even qualify for this GB, well it can if it’s been captured and repainted. Now I said I wouldn’t start any new projects until I had a few less 109s on the bench, but I received the kit the other day from a fellow modeller who has sadly had to give up the hobby owing to declining eyesight. So I thought I’d start it and that to do justice to the build I would also try to ‘superdetail’ the engine and interior. With this as my guide.. I also have a Dragon 1/48 kit started so I may progress this as no copy the detail. So next step is to (possibly) fabricate an interior frame from .5 mm brass…

    This is the scheme I’ll be doing the Avia in.

    The TL Jaeger gets some tail fins, a bit of scribing and cannon apertures. Almost ready for paint. I’m going to do it in a generic 74/75/76 scheme with a four letter call sign which seems to be how contemporary prototypes were finished.

    14 now underway the S199 joins the pack. The mr craft kit is a generic F/G and as such isn’t 100% correct for either. To get a better F the oil cooler is made shallower, the wheel wells are rounded and the fuel filler moved.

    Have decided that this is the Swiss scheme that the Heller K ( now a G6) will end up as. My two remaining kits arrived, a KP S199 and a Smer G14, neither great kits but the KP has raised rivets and panel lines which are quite delicate and look ok l, but will probably have to go, hmm quite a dilemma. The Avia will be IAF while I’ve found an interesting Luftwaffe scheme for the G14( no swastikas in fact all the national markings have been overpainted€

    I thought that was just me !! Good to see these back in action .

    First some shameless canvassing for my three group build proposals. Stores on the two Typhoons, which means all four jets are very nearly finished. More work on the 109s. 14 and 15 arrived today an S199 and a G14 both slightly ropey kits but I suppose that’s half the fun. My father is in hospital and very near the end, so bench time may be a bit erratic atm, although I find it is a great stress reliever at times of crisis like this.
  17. Marklo
    stores on both Typhoons. Almost ready for decals all round.
  18. Marklo
    Have to vote for the Gladiator.
  19. Marklo
    Sprayed the underside of the swallow. Very nearly read for decals then rigging.

    I have two more in the list and have been eying up a new batch of Revel G10s at the local art and hobby shop. Tenner it’s a fine line between having fun and ‘somebody stop me !’. Although in my defence there were 35000 109s built and I’m only making 15 (so far) and there are just too many different interesting schemes, and they are fun to build having tackled the brain bending rigging and geometry of the Oertz

    Today’s update wings and tails on everything ( except of course the ones in the post) the Bouchon still needs a nose and 11 more canopies to fit and mask
  22. Marklo
    Thanks guys. Prizes are nice, (but in this hobby I feel the journey is the reward) but Kudos are more than enough. Thank you all. This is my workbench at the moment, just the odd 109 or two yes I’ve gone from one insane project to another
  23. Marklo
    A bit more paint. And some decals. Just rigging and wheels left to do.
  24. Marklo
    I might stipple on some deck tan to tone down the oxide a bit,
  25. Marklo
    Made a start in the office. As it’s going to be silver I’ve painted the interior brick red then dry brushed with pink. I’m not entirely sure what colour the frames should be.
