OK, cuttin it close on the deadline, but I got her done.... This was an Academy 1/48th Bf109G-14 sent to me by drgondog... It has been backdated to a Bf109G-6 with the tall tail thanks to Waynes help with the decals and canopy....

Thanks again to all the guys for ur assistance and patience with questions and research....

[Njaco]

And this is, what, like ur 3rd!!?? damn, fine looking bird!!!

And in case anybody noticed and gets the wrong idea, I believe that that is a shadow across the fuselage in pic #5 caused by the antenna wire and not the fuselage halves glued cause I know Dan sanded that area!! Had me going for a sec!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Ellis and Chris, I appreciate it, and yes, thats a shadow....

another superb build Dan, great job

 

[Maglar]

Nice work Les!! That is one big ass carpet because it looks scaled to 1/72 on it. I love the dirt (oil spill?) on the tank and all the grime under the engine.

Seems you took after me with the fly-by shot at the end, the almighty finger joint prevails!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks guys... The model is 1/48th scale Maglar, and it is oil that has spilled onto the tank.....

I was trying to figure out how to show the bottom detail and put it up into the sky.... It worked....

 

[Doughboy]

Let you in on a secret......there IS a panel line along the top of the spine.....not depicted on most models!

...Nice work Dan!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks alot Wayne....

I did a quick look, and every reference I have that shows the top down view, there is no panel line across the top spine, just the antenna cable from the rudder to mast.... Very interesting what u said....

 

[Njaco]

ohhhh, I got burned! I was just pointing that out so he wouldn't get points taken away!

 

[muller]

Another completed build I've missed! Lovely work Dan, I was thinking of adding stains to the droptank on my 190 but it was on before I remembered, nice touch!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks man, I appreciate it....
