AndyL Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) As it says, my next build will be a Bf109 Jabo from LG2. Obligatory box shot (kit from Rabspat aka Simon - cheers matey!) Will be cutting and preparing parts for an RLM 02 spray session...more pics as it progresses. Regards Andy Edited September 18, 2008 by AndyL
Erwin Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Nice to see you adding another build into the GB. Edited September 15, 2008 by Erwin
AndyL Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Cheers Erwin! Right - everything cut, sprayed, and wings and fuselage halves together. Just need to paint the RLM65 undersides and first coat of RLM02 prior to masking off ready for the splinter pattern. Thanks for looking.
AndyL Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Cheers Simon, and help you certainly did! Progress thus for...masked, and splinter patter painted. Next stop the mottling...
Deanflyer Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I've said it before, this Tamiya kit just flies together, doesn't it? Even so, I reckon you're doing a bit of a speed build here - airframe together and camo on in a day and a half? Crikey. At this rate, it'll be on the table at Sutton Coldfield this Sunday... That Eurofighter seat arrived today, by the way - thanks very much! Cheers, Dean

I've done the mottling and will post pictures later. Plus I've ben toying with and old SC250 bomb from the Prieser set to sling under it. I've added the fin supports from brass rod, and marked the fuse positions on it. Just needs a lick of paint. Pics later chaps!
AndyL Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Cheers Mish...now got it decalled. A few applications of Microsol/Set to bed the decals in nicely and then an application of Promodellers dark wash. Might get it all done by tonight - and on the bench for Sutton Coldfield on Sunday.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Blimey Andy I thought I built fast. Nice job my friend
AndyL Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 Right...... one Bf109 painted, varnished and finished! I'll take some better pics for the gallery later. Thanks for looking. Andy
Seamus Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Bloody hell, if you can knock a build of that quality together in 3 days, I'd certainly like to see how you get on when you take your time Actually, having seen your BF 110 I already know the answer to that Super stuff Andy
Deanflyer Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Result. Well, at that rate, I reckon you could turn out another 14.6 builds before the end of the GB. Go for it Andy, I've got a winning total of 56 to reach! Nicely done, Dean
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Andy are you on steroids or speed or something? Phew I thought I turned them out. Really nice build, are you bringing it on Sunday? Love to see it.
AndyL Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Shaun, Dean and Mish - thanks for the kind comments. Yep, it'll be on the bench this Sunday. I'm just sorting out a base for it a la my Bf110. 14.6 builds a week eh Dean? I'll never know as I don't have the stuff in the stash to build See you Sunday! Edited September 18, 2008 by AndyL
AndyL Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 Ok, now on it's base, with the spare figure from my Elan set. The others will go in the gallery. Thanks for looking.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Andy you knocked that base out quick.
AndyL Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 Pretty easy to do - one old picture frame, superglue, plasticard, balsa cut to strips, and oil paint to stain the wood. Grass down on the plasticard over diluted PVA glue. 2 hours tops.
Erwin Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) What a great result in such a short time. A well done job. Edited September 18, 2008 by Erwin
AndyL Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks Erwin. It's down to me having loads of time on my hands of late. Now, about time I did something British for this GB isn't it?
Erwin Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Now, about time I did something British for this GB isn't it? It sure is. Howabout a model of a type not yet build in the GB ? There's a list a few postings down in this topic... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15924 Edited September 18, 2008 by Erwin
Skii Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Beautiful, my favorite 109 version in my favorite markings. Love it
