Uncarina Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nice build ! Actually, i am now doing the same thing, building a fast an easy kit to have a break between major builds, and i'm building the revell G6. Those revell 109 kits are great ! I was also very happilly suprised by the detail rate and fit. Thanks! Yes, for the price and the subject, I'm looking forward to building more!

Guest Peterpools Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Tom Terrific progress on the 109 and one good looking front office for sure. Barracuda's resin upgrade parts look awesome and are a super plus to the 109 looks. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Could you provide some advice? For "Green 7" and perhaps the other G-10 Erlas, what is the color of: -the landing gear struts -the inside of the gear doors -the wheel wells? For example, are the struts RLM 02 or 66? I understand some may be red but it doesn't appear to be for this particular a/c. Thanks! Tom Edited August 21, 2014 by Uncarina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Farrel Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 On Green 7 I'd go with struts and gear doors in RLM 66. Notice that even though most of the undersurface is NMF it looks as if the outside of gear doors are painted RLM 76. The wheel wells are most likely natural metal. /Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Boris, Mal, John, Thanks for looking in on my build! I have a micro update, entitled "be not proud". The plate at the back of the cockpit that mounts at an angle to the fuselage stands proud when attached when it should be flush. I like the detail of the Revell part, so I just sanded it from the rear until it fit. This is a five minute fix that gets the job done, especially if you mount the canopy closed. If you leave it open, you just need to fill the seam at the outline: Hope this helps! Cheers, Tom Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 It's been a while since my last post--busy! However, I have a bit of a big update. I've painted everything but the canopy and final finish coats. All colors are either Tamiya or Testors Acrylic, and the overall camo is a blend of Tamiya to match a green RLM-81, with some slight variations to create a little contrast. I'm planning to increase this with tints and washes. Hope you like it! Cheers, Tom Volture and Mal_Belford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
