Farmerboy Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 That’s a smart piece of modelling, like the sun bleached weathering, especially on the markings, good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I love desert camo and weathering. It's a fun challenge to get it just right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Very neat number eight! I wonder what has been leaking from the refilling hatch just fwd of the '8' on the stbd side, though. That's the refilling point for oxygen and it's especially important to keep it free from oil and grease… Excellent modelling overall!

My research had indicated that it was fuel filling port. This is actually my first 109, so I didn't know much about it. If that's the oxygen, then where is the fuel filler? Tank is behind and under the pilot, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the pilot is virtually sitting on the fuel tank. The fuel filler is on the port side spine, shown by the yellow triangle with the legend '87' (indicating octane) just above the '8'. The blue colour on the stb side cover indicates oxygen. Don't worry – we all learn by little research mistakes. 😉 Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
