John1 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 16 hours ago, MikeMaben said: Nice work John ! Those were called weep holes. To add to Mike’s info, they were nothing more than circular patches of fabric with a small opening to allow condensation to escape. The kit representation of this is way too thick. Great paint job btw!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaxos345 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Good evening guys, it's high time i posted my latest update!! I have finally come to the end with this lovely babe!! So lets begin.... First of all i corrected the wavy pattern of the wing leading edges... Gloss Varnish (ak real colors gloss) and HGW wet transfers combined with barracuda serials.... Wash... And i started with the weathering... More oil weathering on the fuselage and some silver pencil on the wing roots...I also sprayed through art stencils some grime, black and more lighter shade... ........

AceofClubs Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Fantastic work, I love the canopy frame: absolutely perfect! And the preshading, too. Ciao Filippo zaxos345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaxos345 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) ....And it was time to deal with the Photoedged canopy. I forgot to take pics, but i cut the clear parts provided by Radub, i sprayed the thin red line and i glued them with future on the pe frame. I glued the head armour and added some other details.... Then i really struggled to attach the canopy, glue the antenna tension wire inside the canopy, stretch the aerial cord, and all the small itemw in order to complete the build, ia finally made it!!! Finally i glued the landing gear as well as the propeller... And guys, some final ones, i will post more on the RFI section here Thank you very much for watching!!

Quru347 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 John great job. I have just a question about your opinion on a BF109G-10,what do you think they were painted most of them RLM 81/82 or RLM 81(the green version only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend, you hit the jackpot hahahaha, i am totally ignorant regarding the german birds. This is my first one abd i searched and asked a lot here and there!! But as my little experience tells me you can find all those details in the kit instructions, on the decal instructions (if you buy an after market one) and of course you can get a lot of answers if you ask here, in the forum!! The guyw here know a lot and they will help you!! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
