Zero77 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks for your nice comments ! Here are the last pictures, as i have finished it today. The MDC spinner and the propeller with the white double band : As i cant choose if i should make it with the canopy open (nice to show the cockpit) or closed (better to preserve the nice lines of the aircraft), i've made a custom micro hinge for the canopy. I have to modify a bit the canopy (i have carved a groove in the thickness of the clear part), quite risky, but i have an extra canopy from another kit, so i have another chance if i have destroyed it. The hinge is made of brass micro tube (0.6mm) with an axe made of 0.4mm nickel rod. The tube is cut in 3 parts, two small parts at the extremities, glued to the fuselage, and the center part glued to the canopy. It was a paint to make it functional, as moving it was often leading to brake the glue. But with enough cuting of the canopy part, it now works great ! And it is not so noticeable from the outside. (the real stuff also has this kinf of hinge, visible from the right side). Edited May 11, 2014 by Zero77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Here are the quickboost exhausts, far better from the kit ones. The kit ones can be nice, but you have to carve all the exhaust tubes, so i prefer use resin ones, it's less time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks a lot for your kind comments ! This was a quite fast and pleasant build, with (almost) no trap, and i enjoyed it ! Those Bf109 are very nice to build aside a more tricky and tiring build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
