Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Good morning everyone...in the last 20 hours Ive spent 10 at the bench. Im tired, Im sore, and I spent an hour on my Knees today fighting the Damn carpet monster. Being disabled Im not supposed to get on my knees, it usually requires emergency services 🚑 to show up and pick me back up. I was able to get all my builds up to the same stage. Everything's done now except for the fragile stuff like antennas, pitot’s, and canopies. Those will be on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts.

Toryu Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 That‘s fantastic progress Dennis. Looking great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete F Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 This looks really good. I was wondering whether to use the decals for the tail cross on my He112 or paint it. The decals on yours look good so that's the way I'll probably go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Excellent result Dennis. Thanks so much for taking part, this 109 has come up tops! There’s plenty of time left, can we tempt you in for another Classic Heller kit?? Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.. Dave Id love to build more... Sadly I don't have any more Heller kits in my stash, and the one swap meet here in Chicago is cancelled. That's where I bought these last year. If you have any ideas I'm open ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Our local swap meet got cancelled as well, however I’ve been very fortunate to source a small collection of classic Heller kits in the last few months. Not sure if you are on Facebook, however many buy/sell listings seem to be on there these days too. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Yeah, but you'd run out of paint half way through then & have to mix some more, stick with 8:2. Lovely job on this Dennis, you've made me look at my Heller bf 109B in a new light.

Thanks Steve, Its my 2nd one and wont be my last one. If I can come up with more I will do more, plenty of good schemes including an early night-fighter in 1941. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Nice work and a great finish. She looks the biz and always nice to see a Heller 109B. Hope to throw one in the hat myself. Steve 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
