Roger Newsome Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We've just sailed from Aberdeen following a brief visit for fuel, water and stores before returning to sea for the second four weeks of a two month trip. It was organised for us to to get parcels delivered while we were alongside so after a visit to Black Mike Models online shop this will be my project for the second half of the trip. Thanks very much @Duncan B 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yesterday's work..... I managed to break the fuel line. It's repaired now but is going to require some delicate handling to paint it and glue in place. Fortunately the weather has settled down for that kind of work.

Biggles87 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 My, you’re a fast worker ( she said shyly ). I still have a couple of Hasegawa 109s but not build an Eduard one in 1/48, it looks like a nice kit. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattlow Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Looking good Roger. I think you may need to fill those underfuselage shell chutes though, pretty sure the Fs didn't have them (I suspect Eduard's instructions will show a piece for blanking them off...)

Matt You're correct, Eduard shows a piece to block the chutes, but it has to be installed before glueing the wings to the fuselage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
