Kahunaminor Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) That looks great Arnold! I am finally ready to "break plastic" (or should that be resin) on my build and have the MDC G6 pit. I hope I can do half as good as you have!

Arniec Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanxs guys, I have also done the decals for the instruments, but no foto jet. Maybee tomorrow. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi guys, Here is a photo of the finished instrument panel. It is not much. I am now buzzy with finishing a other model (SHAR 3/what if GB), so there won't be much updates till New year. After that I have a more room to finish this one.

Arniec Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi guys, I have done some things today. I have put the cockpit inside the fuselage and put the underside with the wing spars to it. Here are some pictures. Here is a picture of the wing spar that I modified a bit, otherwise it wouldn't fit (because of the MDC pit). And the last picture with everything closed up.

Arniec Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Thanxs, guys. I hope to do some more work on it after the SHAR3 is finished. I need to get started with the wings. I hope to do some more work this week. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi Guys, Just to let you know that I have just finished the SHAR 3. I will be able to do some work on the 109 this weekend. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi Guys, Here are two pictures of the wings done. I still need to clean them up. I also did manage to delete the 2 holes in the wheel wells (I think) The second picture are the wings on a testfit to the fuselage to see how it fits. And it fits very well. Hopefully I can do a new update later on. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Very impressive my friend! Love the work done so far - that cockpit is very good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Here are some more pictures of the wings. I have cleaned them up and changed the wing lights a little. I rescribed around the original and after that I filed them flush with the wing. I have also put some contacta around the wing bulges for the wheels. This is to get it flush with the wing. The bulges were pressed into the wingpanel so there shoulden't be any panel lines there. If these have a thorough drying time they will be sanded to get a nice flush panel.

Dan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Very impressive! The cockpit looks almost real and I'm sure all the improvements will make for a seriously fine model when complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Thanxs Guys. Here are two more pictures. One of the navigation lights and one of the oil cooler. The oilcooler was a tight fit, but with some super glue and persiation it went on. The navigation light were also placed with some super glue and after drying it was sanded and polished flush with the wing. The navigaton light on the left is alread sanded. The one on the right isn't. I have also put the wings on the fuselage and they were a very good fit. Maybee some pictures of that tomorrow.

Spikelhund Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Nice progress Arnold, I like how you've blended the wing bulges, should look smart when painted up. The wing tip lights look good too. Cheers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi guys, Here are some pictures of how the build is sofar. The spinner and cockpit glas is a loose fit to see how it fits.

Arniec Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi guys, I have been doing some work today on the glasswork. I have put 2 handholds on the windowshield and the handgrip on the canopie for the locking meganisme of the canopie. I have also painted it on the inside RLM66. Hopefully I will put some pictures up tomorrow. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Here are some pictures of yesterday and today´s work. I have painted the in and outside of the canopy and windshield in RLM66. After masking. After painting the RLM66. You can see in the last picture the handels that were there. these are from some stretched sprue. After removing the inside masking. The outside will stay on till everything is painted. If you look closely at the windshield you will see the armoured glass panel attatched. You can also see the handle for the locking mechanisme in the foto below. And the final foto is one with the windshield attached to the fuselage. I used 2 components glue. I hope I will finish this one on time. It will be a close call. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
