Nice fixing, Andy.

Good fixes Andy

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. We'll see if they are good fixes when I'm done!

Drastic stuff, but looks to be the way to go. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

[Crimea_River]

So am I!

Looks like "FUN" will be watching.

Fun, fun, fun - happy sanding!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. Got bored so I started filing down the styrene. Followed with a coarse sand and now thick primer brushed on and curing. Got it tamed I think.

 

[Donivanp]

That's some fancy footwork there Andy. I've used the sheet to fill gaps before but had not thought about fixing a bulge like that. NICE.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Don. I like this method as it's cleaner than putty and provides a nicer surface to scribe.

Your talking to "Bondo man"

Like that gap filling stuff..

Thanks everyone.

I'm going to withdraw this build from GB 37 as I want to finish this model to depict the below aircraft mentioned in post 14:

This has an attractive scheme and represents an aircraft based in Lethbridge Alberta which is not far from where I live. The aircraft is shown as it served some time in 1941 and therefore does not fit the theme of this GB.

Wojtek, please move this thread to the Start to Finished Build section. I will continue the build there. I have already changed the title.

Thanks!

Nice job fixing the fit issues andy..


Some accounts of the "Battle Of Britain" don't have it ending until mid-May 1941, with air attacks by the LW . continuing by day and night right up until that time. So I don't see it as necessary to remove this from the GB build if you don't want to

 

[Donivanp]

I am most interested is seeing this to the ending, Don't run away!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys.

Michael we agreed the period for the GB would be end of October 1940.

Don I have no intention to stop. Just not building it as part of the GB. I will do my 109E for GB 37.

 

[Wayne Little]

Still a good choice, look forward to it continuing elsewhere.

 

[Wurger]

Done, Andy.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks my friend.

Lovely work so far Andy!
