BevanBrooks Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 In with this one Ordered the E1 kit today also got the Aires cockpit for this one., thanks Ralph! Was talking to Craig of Aeroworks in Adelaide about top wing camo pattern he thinks it may still be in 70/71? Bevan 4
Beychevelle Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 That's a nice scheme...like the faded or translucent red band and the upside down panel. Will be a challenge to get that right
JG26 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi Bevan, That's a goody, great choice. it's got some great weathering potential. The cross on the misplaced side access hatch certainly is odd...Are you going to replicate it? Or "take the hatch off & straighten it up" for the pilot.... Dan M 1
Dave J Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Nice Choice Bevan! Dan - There is few photos of 109's with the access hatch that's been screwed on upside down. 1
rieser Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Another great find Bevan. Where's the artwork from, and how does the decals? Cheers, Ralph. 1
BevanBrooks Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Another great find Bevan. Where's the artwork from, and how does the decals? Cheers, Ralph. Ralph, Kagero JG53"pik As" Units number 7 for both the art work and the decals, {Cartograf} albeit only the "white 12" and W Nr. The national insignia and stencils will have to come from the kit.

Dan M It certainly has Dan and yes I'll try to reproduce the upside down access hatch, just adds that little bit more interest I think
JG26 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Good stuff, yes I have seen the pics with the odd hatch, makes you wonder what sort of a evening the "men in black" had the night before....too much duty free schnapps perhaps..... 1
BevanBrooks Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Finally got the Ed E1 in the mail, strangly the only olive coloured plastic in the kit is the upper and lower wing halves. The rest of the kit is in a medium grey. So......I guess it's time to make a start on the Aires pit and see if I'm going to be lucky with the fit To infinity and beyond..... (Buzz Lightyear) Bevan 2
JG26 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Yayyyyyyyy get into her. That is weird with the sprue colours- I've built 4 Eduard planes now, they've all been the same annoying olive colour. Must be destiny- a "special LSM 1940 edition". Looking forward to some progress pics. Regards, Dan 1
BevanBrooks Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 Started the 109 this week......pics to follow 1
wackyracer Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Started the 109 this week......pics to follow Excellent, look forward to seeing your work
BevanBrooks Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Well it's about time! This is the Aires cockpit painted with Gunze H70 RLM02 over Tamiya Xf85 rubber black. I angled the airbrush from top to bottom to try and create a shadow effect. I added some white to the 02 for some highlights. Washed with oils and dry brushed with Humbrol enamels. Detail painting with Humbrol and Tamiya enamels. The instrument panel is painted with Tamiya Xf24, still need to add some detail painting to it though! Thanks for looking, cheers Bevan 2
JonathanReed Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Great scheme and cockpit is looking good! 1
wackyracer Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Cracking work on the pit Bevan. That shading technique works a treat. Looks stunning. Aaron 1
BevanBrooks Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks boys, looking forward to closing up the fuse soon.
One-Oh-Four Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 In with this one Ordered the E1 kit today also got the Aires cockpit for this one., thanks Ralph! Was talking to Craig of Aeroworks in Adelaide about top wing camo pattern he thinks it may still be in 70/71? Bevan The scheme doesn't really look like the old 70/71/65 scheme... I would guess it rather as 02/71/65?
JG26 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Very crisp mate. Glad you've hooked back into her. Can't wait to see you start laying on those main camo colours.....wowee! Regards, Dan M
BevanBrooks Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Pretty annoyed........ cant post any pics from photo bucket, god knows why!! Can post on hyperscale no worries. So unless I can figure it out this is where this thread ends. Bevan
wackyracer Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Have you tried with the little switch in this position (takes away the text options etc). I have it in this position everytime for photobucket uploads, otherwise they won't load/paste the link. Aaron
BevanBrooks Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Your freakin kidding me Aaron, it worked. Thanks a bunch! So the fuselage is together. I've re scribed the panel lines but haven't added the lost rivets yet. The Aires cockpit has given me a few headaches. The lower instrument panel was so tight I had to trim it and carve some of the wiring detail away to let it fit, nothing you'll ever see though. The oil cooler openings need to be squared up so I used some strip stock and CA. pretty easy fix. Ok I may have some mojo back now that the photo thing is sorted. Cheers Bevan 3
JG26 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Great guns Bevan, that front underside join is a bit of a bitch- but you've got it all sorted by the looks. Think positive, think positive, think positive....... Regards, Dan M
