Dogtail2 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hi all, My latest effort, built per box, except for addition of some Eduard seatbelts and a few scratch built cockpit details. Tamiya acrylics. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That looks nice. In some of the photos the wheels look very splayed but that's probably just the camera angle. I like the last picture, very atmospheric indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The undercarriage angles pretty much match my reference drawings. The splayed look was a feature (and a weakness) of the 109. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 She looks great! How was the build? I've got an ICM Friedrich in the stash but after their mk .ix Spitfire left me gibbering I've been avoiding it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no major issues but I'd heard that the fit of the cowlings was poor if the engine is fitted. (the kit provides a fully detailed engine). If you intend to have the cowlings closed up, I would recommend doing what I did, and leave the engine out, except for the part the propeller mounts to. For the price of these kits, I was quite pleased. I'll probably do another, but with the engine fitted and cowlings open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once the flashbacks have subsided and the DT's have calmed down I'll give it a shot. I wouldn't bother with the open cowling after the "fun" I had with those on the Spit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
