Might have to do this conversion as well! Cheers, Tom Thanks for looking in Tom, it is a pretty simple conversion with just the wheel wells being a little tricky but I think I have a plan in mind now Regards.

monthebiff Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Still plugging away at this one and now have the cockpit decalled using a mix of Barracuda and Airscale Just need to add some belts and final weathering but about there. Also managed to make a start on the wheel well adjacent as the F-4 usually had round wells Will need to get the fuselage closed up before I can modify the side walls. Regards.

Cheers, Tom Thank you Tom, it's a pretty easy conversion with the only tricky area being the wheel wells but not all F-4's had round wells! So you could just go with the kit parts if you have no images of your subject showing round wells wells. Just an idea! . Regards.

Mark P Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 As with all things 109, the wheel well configuration can be a real minefield! If your care about accuracy of your build, a reference photo can prove helpful as the manufacturer, W.Nr. and date all come into play in making the determination for round vs squared wheel wells.

monthebiff Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Been nice to get in a decent bit of bench time this weekend and now finally have the cockpit now completed Seemed to take forever to get to this point with daily life taking over but hopefully get momentum back on this build now!

Thank you John, was a fight to get the ZM foot board in after everything was together but we'll worth it. 1 hour ago, tucohoward said: I like that a lot. Very nice work, Andy.

Borsos Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Amazing work on the cockpit. And as I started recently Trumpeters Bf-109 F-4, a kit that seems to have less in common with an actual F-4 than Revells G-2, I love watching you focussing on F-4 features here… best regards Andreas monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Cockpit completed and fuselage halves all closed up. All very nice but anyone notice the mistake? Well what a monumental F@#"K up that was and didn't fit my carefully modified Barracudacast instrument panel at the right time so can't gt it to fit now! Any ideas would be very much appreciated Regards. Andy Rockie Yarwood, Greg W, Sasha As and 10 others 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
