Airfix 1/24 scale Bf109E.....or a bed of thorns

[Wurger]

The Polish vodka... hoo, hoo, hoo...I like that. Where do you live Jasiu?

The underside of the fuselage next to wings appeared to be "bald". And I had to engrave a few panel lines there. I addition I made couple of rivet lines as well.

Won't it look strange having rivets that are both innies and outies?

Fantastic work! Those 'castellated' joints are incredible !
Thanks for the pics my friend, extremely useful. I re-checked my own pis of the RAF museum '109E, and it's the same - the notch only on the port side.
BTW, Jan meant one barrel of Guinness !!

To be honest it won't. These appaered almost unseen when painted.

Bloody hell fella
we don't see you around much these days, or have I just not been on at the same time as you? How's tricks?

That's it, I'm in trouble with Wotjek for hijacking his thread again...

 

[Maximowitz]

All good Colin as ever just floating around the interweb... a pleasure to pop in and see Wojtek's fine work.





He needs to do an Me 410 though......

Two pints...

At this rate
I'll be buying you a brewery

 

[Lucky13]

Fantastic work Wojtek! When you hit the 5 pint mark, you're on the Vodkas!

 

[Wurger]

Five pints is nothing comparing to a brewery.So I like the idea of buying that. Colin... go ahead....

I had checked fitting of the underwing radiators before I started painting.And....these didn't fit properly. The starboard appered too wide and couldn't get its seat at all. The port one was too wide too but just a little bit. I think the reason for that was too tight gluing of the fuselage and wings.But the gap between these parts would be larger then. Anyway I sanded one of side edges of the port radiator box a little bit down and it went into its slot with no problem. But the starboard one had to be cut with the saw about 0.5mm down. Then it fit corectly.

Nice work Wojtek!

 

[Lucky13]

Never stop being impressed my dear friend!

The next step ....had been masking before applying the first camo colour. Because RLM65 was the first one I applied it overall twice.The first layer was darker than the second one. The second coat was made lighter with a white paint and applied at the top of fuselage, leading adges of all surfaces and panel centers.

Man, it's always a pleasure to watch you do your voodoo to these.
