LSP_Kevin Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Cool! I have that CE set, too. IIRC, it's designed for the Hasegawa kit, so it'll be interesting to see how well it adapts to the Dragon one. Just added you to the raffle draw for this month. Kev MikeMaben and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's made for the old Hasegawa kit but it's line up pretty well so far. I'm using the Kagero drawings. Stay tuned . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMC Herc Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 This will be a good looking bird. Always enjoyed the sleek lines of the 109. You will make her go fast and look good doing it. Jason MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Stuck the nose parts together with temporary glue (Microscale Liquitape) to see if everything flushed up. Looks OK with a little adjustments to take care of. First cut off the leading edge of wingroot ... Everything lines up pretty well... This part needs to be cut from the Dragon part ... These areas need to be flushed ... So I'll soak the nose in a bowl of warm water and seperate everything and rebuild with CA..

Biggles87 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I'll tag along if I may, as I'm planning a similar conversion but using the Eduard 109E-1 as the donor kit with the Alley Cat conversion. The Alley Cat set only supplies two panels to replace those with the underwing radiators rather than the complete lower wing mid-section like yours but otherwise is almost identical.

MikeMaben Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi John, I'm not using the CE underwing mid section as the landing gear openings are too far forward to match up with the Dragon fuselage openings. Oh well Biggles87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
