Blitz23 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Well I'm in with this one, it's actually just a Revell rebox on a ICM kit which I didn't realise at the time I bought it. Really not a fan of their flimsy plastic but we'll see how I get on. Work has started with the engine built and basic cockpit painted, ready for detailing. I'll post my progress in the week but here's the box art which I think is rather good! Thanks for looking guys. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can without a doubt say Eduards will be superior but this one still has an engine you can displayed which I intend to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz23 Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Update on progress so far, I forgot to take sprue shots so here's where I'm at currently. Need to finish some more detailing and the cockpit areas will be getting a wash this evening before I can button up the fuselage. Wing sections are all together and hopefully by the end of the weekend I can get the fuselage and wings glued up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz23 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Weekends work has left the 109 in this state... Engines ready to be installed, need to finish a bit of sanding first and then she's good to go! Will get pics of the cockpit next weekend but she's coming along! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually isn't bad, only issue is there's no locator pins which make it a little tricky. 2 hours ago, modelling minion said: Very nice work, I really like your engine it looks great.

Blitz23 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Bit of late night test fitting 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz23 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Cowling now attached, flaps added. Next jobs are to add the radiators and the engine intake cowling which in the pic is just added to test the fit. Debating whether to also pose this open and scratch build some interior detail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 If you have the cowling open, ICM do some nice figures that can be tinkering in the engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a possibility but she'll most likely go on display in my Cabinet with my Bf109E-4. I may look at posing some if I can get bases etc, maybe with some Luftwaffe wings in the foreground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
