This is the state of play before doing more work today.
On the cockpit front, the cover for the MK108 has been reshaped and has had the securing strap stuck on using aluminum tape. The seat back sees the triangular bulge added from card, though the purpose escapes me. I'd like to round the corners of the armour plate as well and may stick on some Milliput and mould it to shape but have not decided yet. I will model the canopy closed and so won't go out to town on details. Note that the ribbed floor grille has been covered as well as this appears to be flat in reality on this version, though I still need to add a couple of stiffening ribs once I confirm their locations.
The port sidewall was modified slightly, removing two stringers and adding a new vertical one, as well as the diagonal member under the throttle box.
On the wing underside, the cooling vent for the spent cartridges on the G model were filled in and sanded and a new ejection chute for the 30mm gun was drilled out to its right. The two ejection chutes for the MGs were also opened up, though I botched them a bit in doing so. This part has not seen the rivet roller yet.
I'm not sure of the wheel well colour and will need to confirm what this was on the late 109s. What you see there is some left over RLM02 that I sprayed on there a few years ago.
The wing uppers have had their riveting completed. I had to play with the brightness and contrast of the pic to highlight them and the work is barely visible.
As mentioned earlier, the fuselage has been glued together and left to cure over night. The fit was quite good and this went without a hitch.
The tail wheel doors are moulded in the open position but need to be closed so I cut them off, glued them back in in the closed position and stuffed sprue and card into the gaps. This area will be smoothed and rescribed later today. The seams still need to be cleaned up and the new rivets can be more clearly seen in this pic.
And now we are current. Thanks again for your interest.
