Another great replica in the making Wayne.

Something about the 109 series, they just seem to look cool.

 

[Wayne Little]

haven't had a chance to work on this one at all this week so nothing to report.....

 

[Crimea_River]

Sacrilege!

 

[Airframes]

Tch tch!

 

[Wayne Little]

Sorry Guys....will get my @ss back on track quick smart!

 

[Airframes]

Jolly good !

As you know, my friend, it's all in the preparation, careful dry fitting and a bit of light sanding and it fits together nice and clean!

This is what I have taken note of on all your builds. Although I have to slow down a bit to get it to come together. It's what we all learn from peeking in on your builds. Mahvelluss Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Bill and Terry.

Actually worked on all the seams right around the fuselage today..front to back, top to bottom...not really worthy of some pics unless you really want them...

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok bit done today, sanded down the area immediately in front of the cockpit and added the hatch cover behind the pilot, still have to make an addition to the hatch, that will come later.

prepped both the cowlings as references favor both! more study to come before choosing.....bulges ready and air scoop done too.

 

[Crimea_River]

Fingers crossed that the cowl fits Wayne. Tough to replicate that fine detail if sanding is in order.

Ha! I found that exact image last night Alberto on a book regarding Bf109 engines and detail by Jean Claude Mermet, what a coincidence hey!

I decided uponthat configuration, thanks for your consideration Alberto!

 

[al49]

Yes, my picture comes from the same book.

[Wayne Little]

made this progress yesterday.....fitted the upper cowling, filled and sanded the seams and fitted the bulges.

 

[rochie]

very neat and tidy, as always

 

[Airframes]

Yep.

 

[Crimea_River]

Agreed.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cheers fellas....

next step have added the exhausts, filled the oil filler access hatch on the nose and rescribed it slightly higher. Scratched up the square cover and fitted this on the cockpit access hatch behind the pilot...

Nice work and very neat engraving Wayne.
