nmayhew Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 this should be good first question is about the kit / fit: how was the fitting of the cowling? did you have to chop any parts off to make things fit? did you follow the instruction steps or do things in a different order? secondly, I will be very interested to see your attempt at Wick's camouflage pattern, especially with MRP I think I have only ever seen one finished kit which really seemed to nail the fuselage finish - I think the modeller used a sponge maybe the last of the three pics shows the effect which I think is the hardest to replicate can you tell us how you plan to do it? all pictures taken from https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109E/JG2-Stab.html MikeC, Out2gtcha, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miloslav1956 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks! The model is at a high level, everything fits as it should. Very fine details.. The cockpit is complemented only by HGW belts and Yahu dashboard. It is always better to try dry without gluing. It will make work easier. Camouflage will be done with a sponge, as in old times on a 1/72 scale. Troy Molitor, nmayhew, Kagemusha and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
