Looks really nice in the box.

Kev, the Miniart M3 is a very nice kit. The only fit issues I had were operator inflicted. I just need to get back to mine and finish it. Carl

I built one a little while back. It was enjoyable enough and I don't recall any huge issues with the build. I think some folks have said there are some shape issues but I didn't know enough about 109s to recognize them. Carl

Very nice and clean there John. Carl

I really don't know how I get anything done at my workbench...

Really lovely build John. How did you find the wing fold? I picked up the one piece wing as well as I wasn't sure if the folded wings would hold. Or worse, I'd just knock them off. Carl

Well, it looks like I haven't updated this in a while. As a result I seems to have missed documenting a few steps. I attached the engine to the frame and cowl flaps. The engine then went onto the assembled fuselage. I then finished the assembly of the wing centre section. This was attached to the fuselage and that's where I am now.

Nice progress on this. I'm still waiting for the D conversion to come out. Carl

Mine's a bit buried but here's most of it. I also have the F-8C and RF-8G conversion sets. Wish I had the Meteor F.8 set. Carl

It was posted on LSP.

That's what I was thinking.

Nice work on the Phantom Peter. Glad to hear your hands are getting better. I just got told by my LHS the ZM F-4EJ kit came in and they're holding one for me. Hope to swing by and grab it later in the week. Looks like I'm going to be slipping into 1/48 for some subjects too. Carl

Hopefully the masks don't take too long to get to you.

Nice! Surprised about the Eduard bits being not usable but I guess it happens. Carl

Looks great. The more I see of your build, the more I'm tempted by the kit. Carl

Which means impossible to get in Canada. Unless you smuggle them in yourself...

Trying to keep Sunny from drinking my decal water...

John is a master at it.

Assembly is done, time for decals.

Just had another package show up. Saw a ZM A-1H for sale and the price was too good to pass up. All the above was $140 CAD shipped. I might just do the box markings this time. Or if I can find the toilet bomber...

I got some custom masks done by DN Models. They're for the pair of HK Lancs that are in my stash. VR-R and the shark mouths go on R for Ropey which was a regular Lanc. AJ-K (ED934) was a Dambuster Lanc piloted by a Canadian P/O Vernon Byers. His Lancaster was the first to be shot down on the raid and unfortunately none of the crew survived.

If you need just the codes, I have them. The EN315 would have to done after the camo though as some of the numbers are only partials. Let me know. Carl

I'm thinking these: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203126488541 NMF, checkerboards and stripes.

True. Back seat perhaps?

Peter, for the Mk6, it looks like I'd need the sugar scoop intakes on the rear fuselage and the 6-3 wing which the kit I bought doesn't have. But I can build a Mk4 OOB more or less so that's what I'm going to do. Now to find some suitable decals. Carl
