monthebiff Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Some more progress and now looking like a 109 with the wings on and wheel wells painted Plenty of seams to fill and sand, control surfaces fitted and get the cockpit closed up and ready for some undercoat.

mozart Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My apologies Andy, I’ve missed this thread completely but just enjoyed reading through it all with an early morning cuppa and choccie biscuit (just one!). I love watching your clean precise work but I have to say your monumental “error” with the IP certainly wasn’t typical. Just goes to prove that no matter how experienced we might think we are c*ck ups can easily be made…..and learned from! Following now chum.

Pleased you enjoyed the read over morning coffee Max and hopefully didn't make you choke on your choccie biscuits laughing at my stupid erroricky for me I spotted it straight away before fitting the side panels as it would have been a whole lot different then!

monthebiff Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Important step completed today getting the fixed parts of the canopy glazing in place and in particular the vac screen from Squadron which is intended for the old Hasegawa kit. Also turned my attention to the landing gear, I'm using SOW gear legs as the kit parts are like plasticine and Reskits equally superb wheel set A big step up from the kit supplied parts and will look very ice under a coat of paint.

MikeMaben Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi Andy, looking good ... ...but don't paint this line. It's just a seperation in 2 glass panes the front one swivels like the windwing on a car. nmayhew, monthebiff, D.B.

MikeMaben Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Just a possible point of interest , you can see a slight inward slant to the forward pane. Another point of interest is the joystick lock arm. Greif8 and daHeld 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
