1/32 Revell Bf109G-6/AS Hohenjager

[Thunnus]

Thanks guys!  It's good to be home again.  Like everyone else, still trying to adjust to the new norms.  Picked up my two girls from school yesterday where they'll be doing online classes until further notice.  Did the SD/SF round trip drive in one day.

 

On the modeling front, continuing work on the G-6/AS.  The cleanup work around the cowling has been finished so I've moved forward and glued the wings into place.

 

The joint at the wing roots is good so I won't be having to spend much time here once the glue dries.

 

There will be some work to do on the bottom however.  In addition to the gaps to be filled, there is also a step along the joint between the right and left wings.  A bit of scraping will be required to make it level.

Hey Kirby!  What's going on?  I think you and your work will be greatly appreciated here.  You do fantastic work yourself! I hope you are doing well and look forward to seeing you post more here at LSP!

Welcome back.  There is a structural band that runs to the inside of the wing root.

 

It starts on the bottom, as seen here next to the landing gear receiver.

 

And goes around the top, stopping at the panel line.

 

Hope I'm not too late for this addition.

Sincerely,

Mark

Good catch Mark , the same thing is true on Hasegawa (F forward) 109s.

Thanks John, you're too kind! Work has kept me off the bench for the last nearly 2 years but I'm getting back on the horse  - I've started a thread on a new build so if anyone's interested come and join the fun!

Hello John,

 

thanks for a very precise and detailed report. On my list as well since I am in nightfighters. I will use an AIMS decal set.  Could you pls let me know where you got your undercarriage from or is it homemade? I have to admit that I didn't follow the whole report. Barracuda is always a must and I have ordered a lot end of last year. I don't know how shipping to Europe would work out at the moment. As well as with Russia. 

 

Best Wishes

 

Kai

Some nice progress there John, all shaping up very nicely.

Here you go, Kai:

The clear parts have been riveted, polished and then dipped in Future.

 

Eduard masks were used on the clear parts, which were then glued onto the fuselage.

 

The tail feathers have been glued into place as well.

 

Looks like I'm almost at the painting stage.  The question is... do I still want to do the all-RLM76 scheme?

 Looks great, John!  I'd like to see your technique applied to a monochrome scheme.
