1/48 Eduard, Bf 109G-5, unusual camouflage

[SANCER]

Thanks Huge and Chad ... with IPMS Mexico for this weekend, I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel with our Bf 109 !!

The tires were "almost" ready, just a little more dust and dirt to mount them in their place.

A couple more accidents ...!:
First: The pitot, ... it was too much time that he stayed safe, ... but finally he got stuck in one of the sponges that hold the airplane and ... it broke!

As I mentioned during the process, the kit brings a pitot more, but I preferred to go to the safe and used a couple of my needles to replace the broken piece, what's more, I´ve already many times traveled this road (the value and cost of the experience )

Second: With so many head positions (up and down), I did not even notice when I lost the back support of the antenna cable ...

With sandpaper and files I made the surface flat, where will rest the small piece that I reconstructed from a strip of styrene ... It was not so bad ...

At this time I applied a layer of matte varnish, and later I will make the smoke and fire marks of the exhausts, put all the missing pieces, "the left back belt missing", the open canopy, the cable of the antenna ... and carefully review some missing or improvement details ...

I think it may be the penultimate post of this thread ... we'll know later.

We are still in contact, illustrious young people.

Nice fixes. Amazing those parts lasted this long.

Nice work Luis.

You can do it Luis! Having a build with no broken parts would be something akin to Michael Angelo creating David without creating chips of stone. Nice recovery, the new parts look better anyways.

They are words that feed the enthusiasm, motivate to continue improving and confirm that I am in a very special forum and surrounded by very special people.
Always present and very friendly Wojtek, Andy, George, Wayne, Terry, Chad ... and so many friends and colleagues, who have been present.
It has been a particularly busy week in my business (which I appreciate because they have been difficult times) and today is the registration of models in the convention hall of the Hotel Del Prado, where the XXXIV National IPMS Mexico will take place.
Days ago I registered online, so it will be faster and I hope to arrive early at noon, because today Friday I have several laps of work and Friday traffic in this huge city is really complicated.
Obviously I finished "yesterday at night" our Bf 109G and I also prepared the packing for the transfer of my 3 participants to their weekend walk.
Sorry I did not have time to share the photos, but tonight will be possible.
Let's all go to my fourth IPMS Mexico experience.
Saludos

Good luck there Luis. I keep my fingers crossed.

Let's go for some fun!

 

[Crimea_River]

With all, good luck

Good luck Luis - hope you bring back a prize.

 

[Luftace43]

Have fun Luis!
I look forward to hearing about the show as well as whatever goodies you bring home from the vendors for future projects. Maybe a Japanese subject or two?

 

[Gnomey]

Looks great so far!

 

[SANCER]

Thank you very much for your cheers and words of encouragement.

I left these photos that I did not have time to share ...
The belt was practically one of the last details ...

This is a small sequence of our 109 finished and some details !!

With this I can conclude our workbench and again thank the support, support, visits and company along this thread.

I still do not take the final photos that will soon appear in my Gallery, I hope that in the next few days I will do it.

These are a couple of photos of the models that I included for the IPMS Mexico 2018, the night of Thursday (before taking them to their adventure)

(I will also share them in the threads of B25 and N1K1)

It was a very intense weekend, a busy event and with news satisfactions that now that I have the photos ready, I will be happy to share with all of you.

Hasta pronto

I like the belt detail. Very commonly seen on parked 109's but not often modeled that way.

Looking forward to hearing how you did at the contest.
