That is incredible how it messes woth your head. The smooth lines have gone and looks stepped as though it's made from lego until you look at the pictures along the length of the fuselage

Interesting tips there Mal, I will give those a try definitely. Not on this build but will practice on some old etched sites with unused parts rather than on a current build. Regards. Andy

I've use Zap cyno both medium and thin Mal. I use small amounts of the medium to get everything in place and then flood all of the joints with thin and then leave for 24 hours. Regards. Andy

Now I do like HpH etched brass and I think it's the best out there because it's a perfect gauge with well thought out bend positions and fits together perfectly. That is if your instruction sheet matches the parts. So lots of care is needed initially as Infinty have managed to mix part numbers between the upper and lower flaps which are slightly different and don't fit properly. Ask me how I know Once you understand the issue you will be fu e but just another unnecessary issue but very difficult to resolve once glue has been introduced. Im guessing not to many people will have a problem with this as they will never get that far. Anyway some positive progress They do look beautiful once assembled but very tricky. I woll wait overnight until I test fit the the airframe to allow the glue to fully dry. 2 down and just the 6 to go! Regards. Andy

That seat is just amazing Guy, stunning build and looking forward to more. Regards. Andy

Definitely all looking very Typhoon like Max and very nice insignia,masking tutorial thank you. Regards. Andy

Looking real nice Mal, I'm really liking your research, super build thread indeed. Regards. Andy

And when they get round to release a 109E just think of the dualist boxing with Spitfires and Hurricane's. Just thinking out loud Regards. Andy

Me too, think this will sell pretty quickly.

Recieved a set of updated landing gear this morning What incredible customer service from Peter. Thank you Airscale. Regards. Andy

Ahh, is that what last year's cut in winter fuel allowance for the elderly paid for? Nice work Sir Kier.

So my plan is to now build up the etched dive brakes in particular the upper sections and the work from the outside in so I can then re-make the undersize inboard section from plastic card with no big gaps between sections May be a day or two getting this little lot together but a long weekend away awaits in London, lots of nice chill time, food and Linkin Park on Saturday evening. Regards. Andy

Thank you Dennis and its definitely worth keeping on the "to do" list but just a bit lower down. Regards. Andy

Thank you Max, picking this kit up again has really restored my mojo after probably a couple of years of not really feeling it. I'm just loving building again and the problem solving that goes with it. Regards. Andy

The landing gear upgrade is definitely a huge step up on this kit Matt and I've no concerns about strength as the fixing points are spread over a few areas but not managed to show in an update yet. Regards. Andy
