CPNGROATS Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hi Ian: I got some of the splinter camo on the 109, unfortunately the masking tape pulled off some of the underlying paint, probablly an issue with using both acrylic and enamel paint on the same model... , so some touch up will be needed...I'm sourcing decals from the stash for the Messaschnzel.... I'm also doing an update/or two on the Spitsfire since they will be displayed togeather, brake lines and wing tip lights as well a general clean up since it's been gathering dust for some time... Also, future updates on the Comic Ni-11 will be posted on the Vulgarian thread/topic... This GB inspiration has got me back into regular building again...I think that's a good thing....

DaveJ Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 That is looking great! It almost has me wanting to get one of those cartoon hot-rod kits with the monster head sticking out of the top..... Too much fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yes, they are lot's of fun....here is a cleaned Spitsfire next to the close to completion, Messaschitzel, you can see the family resemblance...the spitsfire was originally built circa 1981. I bought both kits in the late 1970's planning to display them as a complementary pair...it only took 26 years..!!! Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPNGROATS Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Update: The landing gear is on both the Messaschnizel and the Spitsfire. Almost done with the 109, some small painting details and the nose and wing cannon barrels need to be added...on the 109 as well. Attached are some mug shots of the almost completed Messaschnizel..
