sean Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Cheers fells, nothing done this weekend due to alcohol 'fatigue' after a wedding Friday. Now I'm away for a couple of days, so things will have to wait a bit. They look great Sean, really nice. Good job!Sorry about the tool collection costs... I think I'm all tooled up now... Until the next 'must have'! I shall send you the bill! The thing is, it usual turns out it's a case of 'Why didn't I get "insert tool" before now, especially the snips, and Tamiya Extra thin, great stuff.

sean Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well after work getting in the way this week, I've managed to get some modelling done, and managed to finish some models, and progress on others, One 109 has been completed with the last bits added to Machold's aircraft, namely the the canopy and the aerial. I managed to get the aerial off in one piece, and feeling pretty good about it, then when I went to sand off the small residue of sprue, half a mast disappeared. I only rubbed very gently with Tamiya finishing sand paper, but no joy. So I've made a an aerial from scrap vac form sheeting. So one down, one to go. Hopefully I'll get a couple of hours during the week to decal and finish the other 109, Pics in the gallery. Sean 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Fantastic Sean! Brilliant work and I really love the vignette too! Great stuff! A mighty fine result all round! Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thank you all very much, I really like how this has turned out. There's a couple of things I could have done a bit better, but overall I'm quite satisfied with the result. No decals added to the other 109 yet, too busy painting the Spits and Hurri, but I did buy these for displaying it when it's finished. and because I've enjoyed these few builds for the GB, I've also bought these, Cheers Sean 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thats really looking good, Sean. Great diorama as well. Fantastic work ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Cheers Bernd. Well, decals have finally found their way onto the 109. I had a day off on Tuesday, and spent over three hours getting them on. A newly aquired box set of Glen Campbell lps got me through, came with 7 lps, I'd listened to five and half records before I was done. My original intention was to use the last of the Almark decals, but one of the crosses folded upon itself, and as I using the blue cowling pennant for Wick's aircraft, I went with the Airfix decals for the majority of the markings. The duck(?) motif and kill markings are from a Superscale sheet, with the swastikas and some stencils being the only decals used form the Almark sheet. As was the case with the other 109, I manged to get the aerial off in one piece, but managed to break it when trying to clean off a bit of sprue gate. I'll make another from vac form left overs. It will be most likely that the next time this is updated, this will be finished, and a start made on the dio. Sean 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Looks excellent with the decals on. I always think everything starts to come together with them on. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the diorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Dapple Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Looking good Sean I have read that the little bird on the fuselage was a Kingfisher, but I have no idea of its significance. Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Looks impressive, Sean. The best way to avoid damage on small and fragile parts is to add them with the finishing touches, work sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Very nice work Sean, very much enjoying your build. Shame about the antenna, but it sounds like an easy fix Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Sean. Good to see you managed to get some photos in the Gallery. And it looks fantastic too! Great diorama too! Well done. Hope you're having a good weekend. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) So I have finally got around to getting some things finished. Work has been rather hectic of late, with long hours and basically being knackered when arriving home. But, I've been able to squeeze in a bit of modelling here and there to complete this and another three builds,( 2 Spitfires and a Hurricane.) As I mentioned above , I've used the figures from the Zvezda German Aircrew set and very nice they are too. They seem to be more "fuller figured" than the Prieser or Airfix offerings. So here is the finished build, Cheers, Sean Thanks Stix, seems you were typing at the same time as me. Having a relatively quiet weekend for a change, no work for a start.
