THE FINALE!
Thanks guys, wasn't pleasant, particularly in the knees and fingers, but I've had some kip now, so on with the story.
Just in case you've forgotten, or for those viewing this thread for the first time, the first picture, of the kit's box-top, is to remind you what this started out as.
The 21st Century Toys, 1/32nd scale Bf109 G14 is a very simple kit, costing less than £10 in the U.K., about US$7, and is not a high-tech, state of the art 'Tamigawa' kit. However, with very little work, and a few additions, none of which, apart from a few decals, were after-market accessories, the kit builds into a very nice, acceptable model, which can stand alongside its 'super model' cousins with ease. The basic kit is almost a snap-together fit, and is designed to be assembled with the help of screws provided. These were not needed, and, in fact, filling and sanding the holes for these was probably the single biggest job involved in the build. There were a few parts that needed to be scratch- built or replaced, such as the aileron mass balance horns and pitot tube, and the moulded-in cockpit detail was enhanced by some scrath built items, and a scrach seat harness.
The aircraft has been finished to represent the Bf10G6 'Yellow 13' of Klaus Lambio, of 9/JG300, based at Jutebog-Waldlager in June,1944, and I must thank Wayne for kindly providing the inspiration, and the profile and details, that allowed to me to finish the model in this scheme.
Thanks are also due to those who helped with info and encouragement, particularly Niel (PB Foot), who sent some useful pics of the wheel bay of a '109.
The model is set on a diorama base representing the forested area of the Jutebog airfield, and portrays the scene with the pilot, shading his eyes as he walks to the aircraft, peering up at the sky, as the Crew Chief 'tidies up' the equipment used to re-fuel and re-arm the Gustav between interception missions. The R6 cannon gondolas have been fitted temporarily, and will eventually be removed...I just liked the look of them!
Any faults or imperfections are the fault of my knackered hands these days, and not the fault of the model, its components or fit. This is an excellent kit, cheap to buy, and easy to build, and I would reccommend it to anyone considering a 1/32nd scale '109.
There are quite a few pictures (!), and I hope you enjoy them. Thanks again for all your support and kind comments.
Terry.

Thank you all very much. I'll try and post some decent pics tomorrow; the above ones were done with a digital compact camera.
Thanks Wojtek, I'm not as stiff and sore after some sleep, just slightly stiff and slightly sore!

Thanks very much for your kind comments everyone. Much appreciated, and I'm glad you enjoyed following the build.
I've posted some 'different' shots, under the heading 'Gustav in Period Costume', elsewhere in the Modelling threads.
Thanks again,
Terry.
