a bit of progress, more balsa wood work, oh no there is another halve to go cheers

Thank you guys for the kind support words guys, very appreciated! testing some balsa wood for filling, slowly building up... cheers

thank you guys, first former sections, cheers

Hello Gents, Finally I decided to start this project, totally inspired by Master Airscale Peter,to who I thank for sharing his amazing work which makes it look easier than it is, I jumped in this new field with my total ignorance and many things to learn on the process So I will be building a 109, a F-4 or a G2, still have not decided but since both models share many similarities I have some time still to decide but will be representing a JG 5 scheme for sure, I took Jumpei fantastic drawings and scale them up, and cut the 2mm acrylic and ended up with the main outline, first step accomplished, next is adding the former sections, cheers Comparison with a 1/32 model now needs some sanding and refine curves cheers

that looks simply wonderful, I love the camo balance, great mottling, great colors, exquisite work gazzas, cheers! Amtonio

a bit of more progress, bombs glued, cheers

thank you so much for your words Thor for the chipping I mainly apply metal color with a fine sponge and also with a prisma silver pencil, nothing more fancy for the invasion stripes I only applied some black to the base color make it darker, then the weathering and washes will unify the effect, hope it helps, glad you like it! cheers

thanks John, yes interesting fact but no idea why, maybe stock new parts came unpainted cheers some progress, props blades and exhausts stains on the underside, getting in last phase of the build if something catastrophic happens, cheers

thanks gazzas, I'm a mess in building my models with coherent order cheers some paint on the rear canopy also cheers

very impressive progress, any idea in mind of what scheme will she wear? cheers Antonio

more work done, some different lights, had to use a wood stick to widen the windscreen otherwise a noticeable gap would show, it worked and now ready to paint, also filled the mirrors inserts which are not in the right position represented by Trumpeter, the sliding rear canopy will be a nightmare to mask, not my favourite task in modelling cheers

Thanks Greg, glad you like her some update, now she has flaps and serial number stencil, the red seems so saturated in te pics but it is not in the flesh cheers

some progress on the engine and fuel tank, cheers

thank you Jeff, glad you like it, cheers Thanks Maru for the kind words, yes i agree, i enjoy building a model with some kind of history behind, cheers added some wires and a base coat of aluminium, some washes are coming next, cheers

nice work John . love this little rocket bug, great scheme to paint!!! cheers

Thanks John, I use for that effect, just small cut sponges with small amounts of aluminium paint, also a metallic pencil from the prismacolor brand, that's it cheers mate!

Thanks Duke, I appreciate it, cheers Thanks bro, this build has many credit to your amazing masks designs skills, a game changer cheers thanks mate!! glued down the struts and adjusting the height on the wheels, hate vinnil tires but have to deal with it , cheers thanks for watching, cheers Antonio

how I missed this amazing Phantom project it rocks, smooth as always Mathieu !!! cheers

Impressive work mate, the weathering on that engine is sublime, a real beauty 109 in late colors, cheers

some more work, fixed the white lettering on top of white invasion stripe, also more weathering on the wings mainly, cheers

some more paint done, cheers

Thank you guys for the kind words, Some more magic masks work from Mathieu on the fuselage, next the group lettering cheers Antonio
