Hasegawa 1/32 Bf-109F for the GB

[JohnB]

This is going to be my subject for the GB. Yellow #1.

[Martinnfb]

Great choice John, Sinner's mount is such a nice representation of a typical ,desert JG27 plane.

[Martinnfb]

Now I want to build the long planned Yellow 5

Can't believe you're this far into the 109 already. The front office is looking so good and even the fuselage is glued up and together. A new meaning for: progress at the bench.

Thanks. A easy build Peter. 🙂

Nice one John, many years ago I built the Hasegawa 109G after a long string of ancient Revell kits and I could not believe what an enjoyable build it was, I must get around to build another some time, I have a few in the stash.

Cheers

Thank you Dennis. The Hasegawa '109 kits ,along with most of their 1/32 kits such as the P-40 etc, certainly are a pleasure to build. I just wish they'd re-issue the P-40N and K kits. 🙂

[JohnB]

Coming along okay. A little primer and some paint soon. 🙂

[JohnB]

RLM 78 undersides, RLM 04 under cowling, and white rear fuselage stripe and wing tips done. I'll start on the RLM 79 on the uppers next. 🙂

 

[JohnB]

RLM 79 applied. Decaling soon! 🙂

Looking so good and you're putting me to shame at making any progress.

Thanks. I'm pleased with the way it's coming along. I'll give it some drying time then start on adding the decals. 🙂

You surely have the touch and in your hands, Hasegawa kits reach new levels.

Thanks Kevin. I cut off the little slat guides and then I can fit them with no gap. 🙂

We've had about 24 hours of rain but that's about it thank God. How about y'all?

[KevinM]

About the same on the rain about 3"+ winds about 40/45G seen rain storms do more.

[JohnB]

Decaling completed.

Kev & John

Glad you are both OK and haven't had any damage for the hurricane ... nasty weather for sure.

Sweat work with the decals ... looking as perfect as always.
