Nice work on the engine Peter.

Can y'all believe it!!!! 😲 I managed to get the engine attached! Broke a couple of supports doing it but reinstalled them afterwards. Far from perfect but I'll take it! -

Thanks Peter. I just used some plastic putty on the tail and it looks "passable" I guess. -

I got lucky and had no problem with it. My magnifier came in very handy! -

Thanks for the review and info Ernie. It will come in handy whenever my kit shows up. -

Thanks Gaz. I went on and painted them anyway even though it was unnecessary. -

More progress on the cockpit. Of course the ammo area won't be visible later on. In my opinion a waste of time and effort to add stuff that could be left out. -

Thanks Peter. Mine was that way too and gave me fits. Very glad to be finished with the engine and all it's headaches although I expect it will be a problem later when trying to mate it to the airframe. I darn near decided to set this SOB aside and do something else! 🤪 -

Here are three books that are great references for the '109's. Good for parts placement and colors, etc. The one for the '109G-2 shows slightly different cockpit and engine bay arrangement but is still a good reference for any novice '109 modeler 🙄 -

Looking good Peter. Nicely done. -

100% correct Carl. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop as they say. -

This kit certainly isn't a "shake and bake" build! Be prepared!!!!! -

I don't think so Kevin. Probably would have made things worse! LOL I think as long as you have the parts installed EXACTLY where the should go things would go better. I just seemed to have some a bit out of place which caused problems. I blame most of that on my shaky hands and eye strain. 🤪 -

Engine completed except for a wash and a little bit of detailing with the paint brush. High on the cuss-factor scale as those little pipes are a SOB to get placed right (shaky hands don't help either). I figure when time comes to mate it with the fuselage I'll find some "problems". We will see.
