LSP_K2 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 My new mask set arrived a few days ago, and Sprue threw in an extra 15 year anniversary gift too, which I thought was pretty neat of them.

LSP_K2 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Once cleaned up and "tweaked" a bit, radiator covers fit like a glove. They're loose right now, as I need to paint the interior areas first. Gazzas, USMC Herc, D.B. Andrus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Again, a bit more tweaking, and lower cowl, now firmly glued in place, also fits almost perfectly. Fvdm, USMC Herc, LSP_Kevin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 At long last, the fuselage is now all glued up; a milestone for me. This process wanted to fight me a little bit, but I fought back,... and prevailed. Martinnfb and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Power plant assembly had some dark yellow applied, to avoid a lot of tedious masking around the gun barrels later. LSP_Kevin and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm looking forward to seeing how you weather the yellow cowl. It's something I've only tried once before, and then not very successfully. Gaz LSP_K2 and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, aside from the lower areas of the cowl, it really doesn't need all that much. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 I also did a JG 54 Bf 109E years ago, that may also have had a yellow cowl, but I can't find my model photos right now. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 And the '109 now has complete elevators, rudder and elevator braces installed. Overall, fit is once again quite good. Out2gtcha, LSP_Kevin, Gazzas and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
