Cheers Terry, never thought of aftermarket, doh! I've got a few close up pics of the ship that I can post, he has his mother making the sails on her sowing machine!

 

[lesofprimus]

Awesome stuff Muller, love the ship, real skill there......

 

[muller]

It sure is Dan, he's been working on it now for a couple of years. His father started it and gave up. So Mick's finishing for him.

Update on the 109 Decals on.

i'm not sure about the cross on the fuselage, should it be that colour??

Looks good M. The cross might be one of the 'grey' type perhaps? I'm not familar with that particular bird, but there were dark grey crosses used. But, what on earth is that black and white 'twirly' thing, to the right of the model?

 

[Wayne Little]

it doesn't look like the right cross to me.....the one you have applied is more likely an alternate upper wing cross?

There should be a broader thicker pair for the fuselage....

 

[Njaco]

Maybe we'll finally have an answer to Panther IRs?

I give alot of credit to those modellors who tackle rigging on ships. I can't even do one antenna wire!

 

[muller]

Hmm, they're the crosses the instructions say go on the wings and fuselage.... I'm no Luftwaffe expert myself, but I do know one thing, they're staying there!

Terry thats the drop-tank, its primed and pre-shaded. The decals for it are white, but any builds I've seen, the lettering is red. Maybe i should have got some aftermarket decals......

 

[Airframes]

Ah! I see it now you've explained! Thought it was some weird miniature statue or something at first!

 

[muller]

Or the cats dildo

 

[Heinz]

Awesome work Muller!

 

[rochie]

just had a look at my decals and muller has put the right decal in the right place but that said mine look a lot darker than Mullers pic, might change when its on the model though ????

 

[Lucky13]

The cat has a what now!?

 

[lesofprimus]

Maybe the lighting in his pic is throwing the color balance off... The color looks wrong to me, but the only one who can really tell is u Muller.... It looks bluish on my screen...

Great work so far tho man, its really comin together now and lookin the part...

 

[Wayne Little]

Am I allowed to rain on your parade with a photo of Black 16 and it's fuselage crosses.....or not?

 

[muller]

Please do Wayne, being Irish, I'm well used to rain!

Here's a daylight pic I just took.

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok, tonight when I get home from work...now I can see the plans under your model......Revell got it wrong!!...

However, you have followed the kit instructions as laid out for decal use and placement and this WILL NOT count against you in the judging stage.

 

[109ROAMING]

Looks very cool Mate!

 

[lesofprimus]

Lookin real good Muller....
