W/O any color pics I'm not 100% sure, may x-ref against BOB '109s? Thanks Shawn! I added a touch of olive drab to the exhaust staining which I think looks better now.

Fanes Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 That's looking really good! I'm looking forward to the finished plane. BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Great work! weathering is/can be so subjective it’s sometimes tough to tell how much to do. Some pictures of these aircraft in service seem to show highly polished shiny clean aircraft. I think you’ve found a great balance here!

BloorwestSiR Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 I've started working on some of the fiddly bits. I had brass MG barrels but was debating on whether to use them or not. Eventually I decided to swap them.out after seeing Fanes' results. Here's the kit's rear gun: These are the nose guns in the midst of removing the kit barrels. I still need to add the sight to the rear gun and finish off the second pair of nose MGs but it's a start. JefH, BradG and Fanes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Next up were the prop blades and spinners. The hubs are made up of a number of parts which are somewhat visible upon completion. With a coat of paint on everything: Once I paint the tips of the spinners white, I'll complete their assembly. I generally prefer to use masks for most large markings when available so I did so here. Erwin, mozart, MikeMaben and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
