"nuther 109 next

[JohnB]

This time another Hasegawa/Revell kit. Late war Bf-109K. I'm undecided on which one but it will be one of these 4 shown in this book. Stay tuned! Click on the photos for a clearer view.

Hi John

Sure looks as if you're on a 109 roll for sure. of the four schemes, I'm voting for # 21, not that it carries any weight.

#21? Maybe......

I vote for the bottom one, just to selfishly learn how to apply winter camo   Actually, all of them are quite cool looking.  I'm sure whatever you pick will turn out stellar as always.

#21? There is no #21 there Peter.

I think he meant the second one on the picture?  It shows it as the 21st in a list.

Yep, I see that now. I was looking at their side numbers. 🤪

[JohnB]

I've decided on the third one, blue 7 bar. HOWEVER, I plan to make some changes on the camo. Nothing drastic, just a few "adjustments". "Artistic license"! LOL 83 and 81a on wings.

In the absence of good color photos proving me wrong I'm gonna stick with this. (The Eaglecals sheet has it a bit different but, like I said, no good color photos are available AFIK.)

[Peterpools]

Yup, the second one down is #21 but it's looks like John already picked #22

Yes for now Peter although I've decided to consider the 1st one also.

I did some photo shop changes to see how it would look in this scheme.

Looks good but I'm still pulling for #21

LOL Don't get your hopes up. Anyway, it's not all that different from the two I'm considering.🙄

[JohnB]

I installed a nice Eagle Parts cockpit set, FineMolds belts, and Quick Boost guns. I'll clean up the seams and then attach the rear fuselage pieces.

[JohnB]

Coming right along. I was pleased that the wings fit so well! (By the way, this was rescued from the SOD. I had already done significant work on the wings and other areas.) I've decided on this one.

[JohnB]

Painting underway.

Looking mighty good and so glad you are making both excellent progress on the 109 and thinning out the SOD residents.

Thank you Peter. The SOD surely did need thinning out!

[JohnB]

Camo painting completed. I'll spray some 02 in the slats area then I'll overspray with clear gloss so I can apply decals.

[Peterpools]

John

Amazing progress and looking so good.

 

[JohnB]

Finished with the decals. Next I'll attach the landing gear then do some exhaust stains and a little weathering.

John, you are amazing and your 109 looks fantastic.

You need to build a battleship or something.  I can't keep up.

LOL Gaz! I do have some ships in my stash that I hope to build at some point.
