Marklo Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 The spray booths getting busy Just the base coat for the 81/82 schemes left to do, then all sixteen are either done or one colour away. The first five now ready for decals and details. The next five not too far behind. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Black in the spray booth today. Second camo colour on the Mersu Black trim on the SCW E Black trim on the Buchon Some 76 on the wheel covers That makes six ready for decals and bits, with another six needing just the second camo colour and the remainder needing two camo colours. Getting there. Edited August 28, 2021 by Marklo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 A very busy spray booth. Everything now has at least one camo colour (. Except for the G14 which I forgot ) and the Bob E the TL Jaeger the Italian G6AS, the Hungarian G6 and the Avia have the second. Which makes 11 ready for decals and details, and only one ( or two) spray sessions left ( 82/83 and red) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 And the reveals , all except the Swiss are decal ready. The stragglers. The two Yugoslavians and the Croatian need second camo and some mottling and the poor G14 needs two camo colours. Still I’m more amazed than anyone that I haven’t had too many paint mix ups so far in this build. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Seeing red The spray booth is busy again. The mummy is ready for burial, errr Swiss Croatian III/JG 53 E Todays crop, just the G14 and some mottling on the G10s to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 The whole fleet ( minus V1, which I forgot). Mammoth decal session next 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Decals started on the first four. Will be quite an eclectic collection when done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) The Mersu and the Spanish E. Counting the Swiss that makes seven partially decalled and four needing a bit more paintwork. Edited September 1, 2021 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) The TL Jaeger, the second E the Hungarian G6 and V1 get some decals. Which leaves five more, now if I can just find the decals for the G2… Edited September 2, 2021 by Marklo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hi Marklo, dare I say that I feel terribly inadequate, struggling to finish my one and only model on time for this GB? Your endeavour is damn impressive! Keep it up! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember.It’s not about impressing each other it’s about enjoying your modelling. Tbh what with the (continuing) lockdown, my health and being ( hopefully just) currently unemployed I have a lot of time on my hands. I’d also say that while I’m enjoying the build I’m never going to try another build like this again and shall try hard to get my wip back into single figures On a separate and ironic note I’m starting to think the BOB E is my favourite from the build, followed by the TL Jaeger, then probably the Buchon ( again ironic as I used to hate it but only because it ( like the Paton tank) kept getting used in films to replicate the 109E), but that said I’m really liking the range of colour schemes of the whole group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) So let’s see how we’re going vs the Plan The Plan: 1. Bumps, bulges and fairings - in progress 2. Pre shade - complete 3. All the undersides 65/76/78 and V1 - complete 4. White/Red/Yellow - complete 5. first camo colour 02/71/74/79/81 dark earth and the SCW E - complete 6. Mask for second camo colour - complete 7. Second camo colour 70/75/82 black dark green - complete 8. Dark blue on the Buchon - complete 9. undercarriages - five done 10. Paint the props - first coat need finishing 11. paint the wheels - in progress 12. lots and lots of decals - in progress about 80% complete 13. mass balances, pitot tubes antennae 14. Rf wires So the new plan 1. finish painting - just mottling on the Italian G6as, the Croatian and second Yugoslavian G10 and the G14. 2. Finish decalling- just the 4 above and the G2 plus a few odds and ends to add to the rest. 3. finish the undercarriages, rudders, props, bumps and bulges. 4. Antennae, mass balances and rf lines. Well at least it’s a much shorter list and eminently achievable by Sunday. Edited September 2, 2021 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Today’s progress so far. Decals almost done New prop. Decals almost complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Prop and undercarriage on the E Undercarriage and some natty hand painting ( even I’d I say do myself ) on the F And the Fin. And the Swiss. And the Avia. So that’s eight at say 95% complete. Should have a lot of bench time tomorrow so still hopefull to get most, if not all done by the stroke of midnight on Sunday Edited September 3, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 First Yugoslavian. Still can’t find the decal sheet for the G2 and may need to print off some decals for the G6AS, oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 V1 gets its prop. The TL gets some Cannon The Buchon gets some cannon and the last decals. Not feeling 100% today and I have to go up to Dublin later so I’m not going to push the build. May have a few over the line but nobody dies if I don’t make the GB deadline so I’m going to just putter along and complete the builds as and when I’m in the mood and have the time. Probably a little over ambitious of a build given events irl but it’s been fun and the finished collection will be quite a talking point if we ever get back to real world model meetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 The rest of the build. I reckon about another eight to ten hours of bench time to finish the lot. But at this stage l’m going to try to complete just the TL Jaeger, the Buchon and V1 for Sunday and take my time on the rest. The G14 The second Yugoslavian G10 The Croatian G10 The Italian G6/AS One of several 1:1 scale projects that got in the way of the GB Some serious masking… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Even that wasn’t to be. Just didn’t get the time or inclination to finish anything today. But not to worry I shall set up a WIP thread and endeavour to knock the sixteen 109s out in a timely manner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps that I’ve chosen a representative but eclectic set of schemes. Which reminds me the F and the Spanish E are slated for this week Edited September 27, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 The second E4 and the F are back on the bench for final bits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
