DocRob Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Very nice plastic surgery with the slats. The result rectifies the effort, they look way better now. Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 That is an awesome looking slat! It's all about proper thickness, and you nailed it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kai, it's indeed a lot of work, but I couldn't just leave the the slats as they were, still some detailing to do, but I am getting there, next the underwing coolers, when these are done I will move on to the engine again with most of the fuselage work out of the way, Frank 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hello Guys, here's another update on the 109, Started on the underwing coolers, sprayed the coolers in aluminum, and gave them a black wash, Sprayed the underside of the wing where the coolers are situated in light blue and placed the cooler housings, Next thing was to place the ailerons The flaps are only test fitted here glued the pe hinges in place on the ailerons Installed some pe on the tail, and made the hole where the airplane can be lifted, and inserted a copper tube, Some more pe on the wings, Then it was time to cut the other wing for the new slat, the cut out piece was used to accept the new build slat, Had to fill a small gap on the underside of the wing, now to do something else besides butchering the aircraft, I started working on the ammo boxes for the MG's, I intend to make some sort of diorama where the 109 is being serviced and reloaded, so all the panels will be off and the engine visible , so the next pictures show what I intend to do Next picture with the new slat, Also started on the under cowling, cut out the piece where the oil cooler is situated and installed the exhaust cover plates. Not much left to attach on the airframe, it's going to be a combination of the engine struts and a very small bit of copper plating to get the cowling in the right place, but I will get there in the end, so that is it for now, until the next update, Frank 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaireckstadt Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Great progress Frank! The wheel wells with their leather coaming look stunning! All the PE you used really improve the model a lot! The ammunition in the belt is also awesome. What will be seen of it when the model is finished? Great work also on the lower cowling and the slat. Looking forward to seeing the next update! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Frank Brilliant detail work, as the PE adds just the right tough. Ammo trays and belts - a whole new level of detail for sure. Can’t wait to see the diorama - it’s going to be a killer Keep ‘em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
