ShelbyGT500 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Well after a short break, I start the new project - Me 109 E-3-a. I will use trumpeter E-4 1/32 kit with a lot of photo-etched and resin parts. Start with the cockpit: And canvased the moving parts of the tail: Cheers guys ;) coogrfan, F-4Phanwell, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT500 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hi Brian , well this is a vinyl canvas for RC planes, of course with scale texture. The same fabric I used for my arado project. For adhesive I use bison glue for vinyl and it works perfectly Kagemusha and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Wow, fantastic work, don't recall seeing one of these built before. ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT500 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Thanks Kagemusha, it is very much like a normal 109 e-3 , but with canopy from e-4, no canopy-armor and without wing-cannons. E-3a it's a delivery number for 19 Me-109's from Germany to Royal BG Air Force /1940-41/. Kagemusha and Dany Boy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
