Very nice choice Jan!

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers buddy! Think that I'll try pre-shading for the first time on this one....

 

[Crimea_River]

First of what I expect to be MANY 109's (including mine!). Looking forward to this.

Nice choice old chap, the one I did when I refurbished my old Matchbox 'Emil'. Good luck with that spinner !!!

 

[Lucky13]

The spinner comes as decal old boy, well the red that is, only have to paint it white!

 

[Airframes]

Decal, paint - it's still going to be a right t*** ti do !! It was bad enough in 1/32nd scale, anything smaller will be somewhat tricky methinks !

Nice choice old chap. Plenty of '13' to choose from for this GB isn't it?

 

[Wurger]

With all here Jan.

 

[109ROAMING]

Cool looking build Jan! ( We gonna see this one finished? )

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice one Jan, nose decal could be a bit of a bugger though (experience tells me that) and good luck with the shading, it'll be fun.

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers lads! I want to get this one finished, as I want to do a No. 74 Squadron Spitfire and possibly another '109 #13....

Nice one Jan! I might do a 109 too if I can find the time

 

[Wayne Little]

Jeez....I didn't think you would be doing a 13 Jan...

 

[Lucky13]

Cheeky! Might do another one as well, Oesau or Bar! Try to sqeese in a wee No. 74 Spitfire in between though.

 

[Wayne Little]
