JOCKNEY Posted January 2 Posted January 2 This is another unfinished build for this year in the Project Cancelled GB Stalled build thread below I'm determined to get some of these completed before starting another build Cheers Pat 1
JOCKNEY Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 Ok, some pictures progress and a set back. First of all the kit as stalled The reason the build stopped was I took the kit on holiday and lost the canopy So I contacted KP who act for AZ Models and they kindly offered me a free replacement as long as I paid the €6 postage. Job done ? Well i thought so to until I did a trial fit with it tonight You've guessed it wrong canopy ! I've emailed them again along with the above picture so fingers crossed I'll get a replacement. Meanwhile another coat of RLM75 (H247) will get it a bit closer to the finish line Cheers Pat 10 2
silverfox63 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Hopefully, the correct canopy makes an appearance soon. If not, which is the easier option; shortening and narrowing the current canopy, or widening and lengthening the fuselage? Only joking. Cheers, Chris. 2
HarryHobbyin Posted January 7 Posted January 7 i hope you can get a canopy replacement thats an awesome looking Messerschmitt. 1
81-er Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Hopefully they come through, Pat, I'd love to see this one finished James 1
JOCKNEY Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 I've popped a wanted post in the relevant section here on BM for a replacement canopy. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear from you. Unfortunately AZ Models are not replying to my emails, which is very disappointing. I tried an old Heller Me 262 canopy but it's both too wide and long Cheers Pat 2
jean Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Hi Pat, I thought those stuff ups only happened in Africa.... Come to think of it, I won't go back to civilisation. Me happy here!!!! Good luck mate. This is a beautiful model. JR 1 1
JOCKNEY Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 Those wonderful people at AZ Models have come to my rescue Canopy fits, it's to get dipped in Klear and masked without further delay Cheers Pat 6
JOCKNEY Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 Forgive the muppetry a photo of the new canopy would have been an idea ! Cheers Pat 10 1
JOCKNEY Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 New canopy masked Now to decide on the paintwork Cheers Pat 6 1
HarryHobbyin Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Awesome news you found a canopy.....it makes me happy you'll be able to finish it. its a great looking rare aircraft. 1
Roberto Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Great customer care from the AZ MODELS people!!! I never got a Bf 109 canopy which was missing from a sealed box...I was willing to pay, but the famous company always refused to send me one...I never touched another kit of theirs. Rant finished, keep on the great work! 1

JOCKNEY Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Some progress on the 1106 Having been inspired by this picture I'll try to do something similar with a hairy stick 5
JOCKNEY Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 So here's is my version so far Kleer and canopy next Cheers Pat 13
AdrianMF Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Looks terrific Pat, although I'm kinda sad that you didn't save the scheme for a Blitzbuild 😉 Regards, Adrian 4
JOCKNEY Posted February 11 Author Posted February 11 New canopy fitted, time for klear and decals Cheers Pat 10
JOCKNEY Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Getting there Some of the kit decals are misbehaving so I've delved into the spares box for an eclectic mix Cheers Pat 8
