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

[Wurger]

No they didn't. It would be a payment of "easy come, easy go" type. But I have reached a good income.

 

[badbear]

[Wayne Little]

I LIKE IT !!!

 

[Airframes]

Nice work Wojtek.

 

[Wurger]

Thank you Mates..

Then I applied the Humbrol 69 and got the semi-gloss yellow I wanted to see.

 

[Airframes]

Very smart !

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks great.

 

[T Bolt]

Very Nice!

 

[Wurger]

THX.

Then I attached underwing radiators. and two bulges.

 

[Catch22]

Beauty!

 

[Colin1]

What are those two blisters forward-inboard of the two radiator housings?

I was secretly hoping you'd do a yellow-nose Emil, the Bf109 was practically designed for yellow-nose schemes, I think the scheme displayed on the current box art (grey with the red band around the nose) is a bit underwhelming

 

[Wurger]

As memo serves, these two bulges were coverings of the main wing bolts ( pivots ) that fixed main wing stringers ( wings ) to the fuselage.

And undoubtedly yellow nose and rudder of Bf109 caused the better appearance of the fighter.

 

[Airframes]

Very nice, and yes, the two blisters were for the main pick-up point bolts.

 

[Wurger]

Thank you ..

Because I had to handle the model working on a few areas I wrapped a canvas band around the rear part of the fuselage.Thanks to that I avoided getting it dirty. The top engine cowling has been attached.

 

[T Bolt]

Great idea about the wrap around the fuselage! I think I might have to borrow it.

 

[Wurger]

No problem Glenn I can lend it ...

 

[Lucky13]

System Overload! System Overload!

 

[Wurger]

Oh boy, oh boy.... take it easy Jan, take it easy....

 

[Maximowitz]

Its going to look SO smart with the decals on. Go to the top of the class Wojtek!

 

[Wurger]

THX Paul.

But I have had to paint these trim tabs firtly. I masked trailing edges at the top and bottom. Then using a brush painted trim tabs red.
