mywifehatesmodels Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Radu, Super Job! Your work on the wheel well makes me feel as though I have been slacking off on some of my prior builds. They look excellent and I can't wait to see more. Thanks for posting, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Radu.... great stuff mate! I think that your work techniques should be photographed and explained for those wheel wells..... I thought about trying to detail them on my last 109 build.... all I could do was just stare at the wells and glue the wings shut!!! I would love to see a build article of how you do your magical work in those wells..... that looks so great!! Thanks for sharing Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thank everyio for your kind words. bsarnoffca, I am not sure whether this could be made into a master pattern. The roof part was made from 0,1mm plasticard (that is paper thin) glued directly to the kit part, which is close to impossible to cast. The rest of the detail is grafted onto heavily modified and thinned kit parts. Other than casting a whole new wing, I cannot see how else this could be made in resin. alaninaustria, on my next 109 (and I plan to build a few more), I will try to do a step-by-step narrative accompanied by photos.

bcauchi Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Beautiful work on the wheel wells Radu. So you couldn;t resist the detail. It is that sort of bug. I have come to learn that there is no such thing as an OOB build not even with these latest super kits. You have such patience to place those rivets one by one but they do look great and make such a difference. i shall try it out. Thanks for the tip!

bsarnoffca Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Radu, I see what you mean regarding casting the wheel wells but a step-by-step would be great. Everyone would love to see that. Have you done any work on the engine yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks Brian, The "extra detail demon" is hard to fight. I will try to be strong . Bsarnoffca, I will not add any engine detail to this particular model. I will definitely do that to a future model. I intend to do some step by step articles and post them on my website eventually. That is a project for the next year. My website is just coming toghether now but I am too busy at the moment to update it. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus H Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 wow! fantastic work. one question. how did you make those little white rivets? punch and die? or did you cut a little round-prfile? and what did you use to glue them into place? its a joy to watch the progress of your modell. yours klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I explained earlier how the rivets were made. here it is again: Those rivets in the LG throughs were made from stretched "sprue" slices (the sprue was actually a piece of 2mm Evergreen round rod). This was sliced very thin with a scalpel (like salami slices). I picked each of the "rivets" with a fine brush dipped in MekPak and aplied it where needed. After they were dry, I sanded them gently with micromesh which levelled them and smoothed the edges a bit. HTH Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saso Knez Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi Radu! Very nice work! Did you use bezels for the rings around the holes? Have fun Saso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Thanks Saso, The bezels are moulded-in on the resin instrument panel. The instrument faces are decals. HTH Radu Merry Christmas everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 After a short break (Ki61 related), I returned to my 109. The fuselage is now joined together. In this picture, the antenna lead-in (circular indentation near last frame) was filled in. This is appropriate for a G4-G6, but not for a G2. It was filled with superglue and sanded.

Radub Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 These fuel filler hatches are irrelevant to a G2. They were filled with superglue and sanded. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
