Kahunaminor Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 This should be the next to last entry. The exhausts were installed and a light exhaust staining added along The masks came off and pretty happy with the results with a couple of minor touch ups needed around the canopy. I mounted the prop and aligned it after a couple of tries and it works well. I did add the antenna but found myself rushing and making it harder for myself so I took some time out: I shall return to finish the antenna and install the rear view mirror and some minor scratches here and there.

Kahunaminor Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well better late than never! Finished! Ezi line antenna, gator's grip isolaters daubed on the line and painted neutral grey. White isolator on fuselage from drilled rod. The Herr Hauptmann is checking his mirror as all good fighter pilots do consistently. I have a small plaque to go onto the base tomorrow: Many thanks to all that followed and offered advice. Once the plaque is installed, I shall post some better shots in good time when I find my good camera!.

mattlow Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Very nice... Like the motorised prop.... What are details of the scheme... is it officially inspired experimental or a local level experiment? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunaminor Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Very nice What are details of the scheme... is it officially inspired experimental or a local level experiment? Matt Thanks Matt, This scheme is found in the Royal Class Bf 109E boxing from Eduard. According to Eduard, JG 53 conducted camouflage experiments at the beginning of WWII. They do go on to say that period photos of similar aircraft were used to speculate on the upper surfaces scheme and the exact colours “remains a mystery.†Still a good outcome for me.
