Hasegawa 1/32 Bf-109 F-4-Copit complete/Fuselage closed

[KevinM]

I am going to be modeling the airframe of Major Erich Gerlitz  #4 on the sheet with the chevrons.The plane depicted there is with the 17 kills on the tail but I found a pic/artist of her with 16 kills with the half sand and half blue(see the blue under exhaust).I was going to do some history of the guy but it is actually very to no info on the net.I did locate a site that listed when/where of his 20 kills.The Quintas should be in by Friday that will be the extent of the AM.

That's a sharp looking scheme Kevin - looking forward to following along!

The fuselage has been closed up to which the Quintas made a Nice impact.I am really as time goes on I am wholly acceptable to using the Quinta belts it's just to easy and basic effect is achieved in 90% of my builds.The Quintas also left me with a partial amount to go do a G4 on out for the IP and basic floor bits.... mind you I used a G2/G4 kit since the F model seem to not be in production.I also had to determine what was the correct seat for this build while Hasegawa says use the high back seat a friend on another forum had the instruction manual low back is the answer.The LB seat made attaching the belts much easier ti replicate a drape.

Quintas made it right Martin even though I re-glued that strap putting it in .....  Again thanks for looking in fellas "A Tempest" follows this one waiting on the Quintas and Hobbynuts to provide their usual quick service.
