GREG DESTEC Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Very nice work indeed Greg. Gives me something to aim for with mine, and yes it is a nice kit isn't it. Craig. Thanks Craig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Quick update. This kit is like a snap together! The main components went together with an audible click and needed very little cement to stay stuck, There are little bits of filler here and there but hardly any. Nearly ready for the pale blue underside and fuselage paint. Going well so far...heres the pics 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 That is excellent progress Greg. Glad it goes together so well. Cheers Stix. Yes, its all been plain sailing so to speak....i'm looking out for the problem Steve had with the wing edge slats, but other than that very relaxing build.

GREG DESTEC Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Update time, at last. Main painting done. Next is the tailplanes, rudder, and canopy. I've been using the P-Mask set, and its working well so far. Still a bit of touch up before i put on the decals, but hopefully that will not take me too long. Her's the pics.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Very nice work Greg. Neat job on the paint, good work with the masking. Well done. Craig. Thanks again Craig. I brush paint, and use tamiya tape to mask the edges. Mottle is a challenge hence the neat scheme used on my example. Cheers Greg Crisp paintwork Greg, you're onto another winner here Thanks Dan, you're too kind. I look forward to seeing your 109 progress Nice work on the painting Greg .

Ozzy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nice paint work, I think I need to do a bit more aircraft modelling. As these new 109's look really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Breif 109 update! Got some markings on, but this is on-going if you see what i mean! The decals are all attached by the same carrier film and each one needs to be cut out individually. After destroying 3 wing crosses i finally got one on and it stuck well with the micro set. The transfers are nice and thin but fragile, and its taking me ages to get these all on. Heres where i am so far, feel free to comment! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hi Gregor, I've got some of the Almark transfers too - I think I might have the same set in 1/72 somewhere plus a couple of Stuka sets. It is a pain that they are all printed as one big transfer that you have to cut up, but the end result looks good, particularly in the last picture where you can see how it has settled into the panel lines - very nice... It's coming together very nicely, not long now Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was abit of a shock trying to seperate the two wing crosses from the backing paper as i'd done my usual and put them in to water together thinking they would separate seperately. Trying to cut wet transfers on the backing paper is messy! Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Great progress, Gregor ! Guess its quite hard to cut all the decals out, but as Stew said, they do look good. They settled well in the panels, with a layer of varnish over them, they will look like painted on. Good job, mate ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
