Small parts details being added.

The propeller and spinner in place. Please note the canon muzzle showing. The antenna mast on the right

Landing wheels finished. Some Aluminium scratches made with Quilt pencil and some red tags made with watercolour pencil

Landing gear in place

Note the brake fluid line loop characteristic of the Bf109

Tail wheel

A small setback. When I did take out the windshield masking tape I've noticed some flat clear leaked into the windshield's side panels (sorry! No photos).

I'm trying to fix it up by polishing with Tamiya compound putty.

To be continued!

There you take her, Paulo ... It looks very good that bottom.

It's really looking the part Paulo.
Note:- that's the prop shaft visible in the front of the spinner - the 'Emil' did not have a motor cannon, the Bf109F being the first to mount this weapon.

Nice colours and good attention to detail Paulo.

 

[ArmouredSprue]

Thanks guys!

Problem solved. Apologies for not having the photo of the damaged windshield but hereto is fixed. I've polished it with Tamiya compound putty medium and fine until removed (or most of it), I then gave it a bth on Future Clear and left to dry overnight.

Sorry about the bad photography but the arrow shows what was left of the stain

Same as previous photography remarks



Continuing with the building I glued the parts on the fuselage using white glue.

Now is time to paint the frames.





To be continued!
