**** DONE: 1/48 Bf109E-4/7 Trop - Mediterranean Theatre of Operations

I concur with Wurger about the green spots. Interesting how fitting the camo is given the terrain that the photos show in the background on many of the in-flight photos.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep, the spots are nicely applied but definitely need to be much darker.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sort that shade of green out Jeff and you'll be on a winner.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Better? I think it is pretty close.

Cheers,

Jeff

 

[Wurger]

Agreed.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

I am going to attempt the antenna wires. Question. The wire that runs from the main wire down into the fuselage above the cross on the side....is it curved while the aircraft is sitting on the ground or is that an in flight characteristic? I have seen drawings and photos with both depicted.

Cheers,

Jeff

Putting some slack in it would not be wrong:

 

[Wurger]

It seems that the antenna wire going into the fuselage through the insulator there , rather was pendulous than tight. So... being floppy it could be curved by the air flow.

Here is how she looks at the start of today.

Cheers.

Jeff

 

[Wurger]

Looking very nice.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Here is how she is looking at the end of a morning at the bench. Almost done, hope to find more time tomorrow to finish off this one.

Cheers,

Jeff

Fine job Jeff. The green patches look much better now.

 

[Wayne Little]

Done a good job there Jeff!

Very good work! That is one of the few '109's that I haven't built yet. You have done a fine job on it!
