**** DONE: GB-58 1/48 Bf 109G-6/R6 with FuG 350 Naxos - Night Fighters all Eras

You couldn't make it up- the parcel was sent from the "wrong" centre to another one, marked as out for delivery, and then sent back to the first "wrong" one!

I know that feeling well. I had an airbrush spend a month and a half travelling around the U.S. eastern states before coming to Canada

And I thought only the USPS had that capability!

That's why postal services cost so much - they have to pay for all that gas that they use up making wrong deliveries.

And I thought only the USPS had that capability!

Nope, incompetence has no borders.

 

[Mainly28s]

Whooo! It arrived today!

I have now done more assembly, and will put the resin bits in over the weekend.

Well, the little box contains an instruction sheet, a small sprue of resin parts (the fuselage plug, two copies of the instrument panel add-on and the actual FuG 350 gadget), the clear housing over the top, and a full set of decals.
I must admit, I'm quite happy.

The instructions show where to place the IP add-on, as well as where and how big to make the hole for the fuselage plug, as well as how deep it must be inserted.
I got carried away and did that- next step, undercoat and paint.

The eagle-eyed among you will see the cream resin part on the IP, and the plug just behind the canopy (a simple round resin dowel).

Very cool

great choice.

just joining with another Bf109 from Eduard !

 

[Crimea_River]

Interetsing. So it seems the AI viewer was placed where the ammo counter usually sat.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That's a great little addition.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far!

 

[le_steph40]

Nice work so far!

Agreed

 

[Wayne Little]

Nicely done, despite the wait for parts...

 

[destrozas]

Nice job

 

[Mainly28s]

A bit of progress- she's undercoated now.

 

[Crimea_River]

Cool. Any reason why you left the cannon gondolas off for painting?
