Fantastic work Vince:clap2:When can we buy all these great details from MDC?

Ciao

Never

 

I said earlier in the thread that i'm no longer doing pattern work. It's too time consuming and it prevents me from actually building models

 

I will make an exception when a proper 1/32 Me 109 G6 comes out

Crowbar in access door.  What color are you painting it?  Red or silver?  I see both colors all the time and I have no idea what is correct for particular time periods.

 

Cheers,

Chuck

Maybe paint one side red, the other silver? Then, when you find out which is correct just flip it over to the one you need!

IIRC, only restos and show birds are supposed to have red bars. I believe the original versions were silver.

While some details on the access hatch are drying, i installed the radiator flaps pneumatic ram :

You can see here how the 2  flex join 2 cupper airlines going to the electro relay. The third line going to the relay (air line in) will be added just before closing the fuselages

We're getting close to the paint stage

Thanks a lot. I guess it's about time to apply some paint on the parts. I'll make a group shot of all the parts together before i start painting

Good show Vincent if I may ask how come your not doing pattern work. You really go good work 

 

i made a break for health reasons and when i found the courage to get going again the 3d boys had flooded the market.  And it's time consuming - i prefere to use the time to actually build something
