monthebiff Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Had no time at the bench in the last three weeks but had some time this weekend and really enjoyed being back at it. I have now finished the cockpit modifications with the floor now complete. A couple of levers added, early foot pedals added from RB productions and the pilots stick modified to a spade grip. Alley Cat do supply one in the upgrade set but I chose to use the kit part and add a grip from the spares box. Cocking handles added to the instrument panel And the completed interior sub assemblies And so all ready for some colour now. Regards.

Thank you Max, the cockpit on the B differs quite considerably from the E so decided to have a crack at it. Pretty happy with it and itching to get some colour on it now. Regards.

TorbenD Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Verrrry nice - looking great under the primer. I note the plain looking pedals which match early 109 refs I have (without the lightening holes on later 109s) - do these come with the etched fret supplied in this kit or have they come from another source?

Torben The early pedals come from a RB productions etched pedal fret I have and these where then glued over the Eduard supplied late pedal etched part which is a one piece item with both pedals at each end to which you then glue a plastic mount on to which fixes the assembly to the floor if that makes sense? Hopefully the picture helps explain what I mean. Regards. Andy Gazzas, Kagemusha and tucohoward 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorbenD Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Perfect sense Andy, cheers - loving the detail touches. Torben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi Andy, i don't really 'dig' these pre-war 109s but this really nice work so many unhappy memories of the Eduard kit came flooding back! Alley Cat conversion does look good, although it's a shame about the slats - the Eduard kit's are way too deep and this would have been an opportunity to provide 'correct' corrections (that could be used on the DML kit for instance) I like what you did with the seat too I am building a E-4 Trop at mo and given the 109 is the most famous plane in the world, I still found it really hard to get nailed down cockpit references in colour (in fact I just gave up), so looking forward to how you paint your wonderful looking details thanks for sharing monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
