ScanmanDan Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Here is my latest finished project built wheels up and OOB. Built quickly and for fun. Camouflage is somewhat generic and while the markings are from the box they aren't for this camouflage. Just wanted to build something and finish it in a reasonable amount of time ( About six days all up over a few weekends this month.) I'm recharging my modelling batteries so to speak and having a lot of fun. I hope you like my little efforts. Dan 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMCS Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Cracking model, it looks so graceful with wheels up..It is one of my most favourite 109 marks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Looks great in that dynamic pose. I'm not an experten, so was convinced by the "generic" finish. Great result from such a quick build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekon Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Lovely weathering and finish, really captures the the look of a late war 109. Edited November 23, 2014 by mekon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didier Leroux Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Very nice works.... and your paint and wearthering are great for me.... Edited November 23, 2014 by Didier Leroux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkeEins Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ..superb. I like what you've done with the cockpit/pilot - it appears to be 'greyed out' with some 'shadow' highlights. Very effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yep, I like that. It can be quite refreshing to just build something without having to worry about matching profiles. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Evocative pose and really nice build and finish! My only nag would concern the dark wash used to further emphasise the fabric covered control surfaces. The framework effect becomes much too pronounced and quite unrealistic. In real life, it's hardly visible at all, even close by. That apart, a thorughly impressive display! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thank you gentlemen for all of your wonderful comments. I am overwhelmed that you like my little efforts. I'm pleased that my in flight display came off as well as it did. I have a few more ideas to try out on my next few kits. Joachim-Your criticism is well taken. I was trying out some new materials and as I am usually not very subtle at the best of times I went overboard. each build is a learning experience and I am constantly working towards getting better and more subtle.

AndyL Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Superb job! Where did you get the base, as I'd like something similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks Andy The wooden base is a sofa/ottoman leg turned upside down, sprayed flat black with some little rubber feet and a chromed doorstop as an up right. The connection to the plane is two sections of square brass tube which have a slip fit one inside the other. I packed out the fuselage with epoxy putty to give the tube something to seat into and spread the weight of the model and used a bit more of the putty to finish off where the square tube fits into the hole of the doorstop. Not especially pretty but it works, is cheap and repeatable. I just need to work out how I'm going to add some nane plates to the front of the bases. IHTH.

cunners Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm loving the paint you've done there, and an ingenious way of mounting it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
