Revell 1/32 Me-109g

He, he, he... Yep. But let's get back to the correct path for the thread, Pal.

Well,now that we are back on course, I have sanded,fitted x3 and glued the wing sections and landing gear in place and then filled some small gaps with Contacta. I am finding that the lower part of the fuselage at the front does not seem to mate that nicely. Will do more investigation when I get home from this thing called work.Pics to follow tonight

I have a question regarding the Trumpeter 1/32 bf's. Trumpeter has 6 versions,e-3,e-4,e-7,f-4 and g-2,g-6. I am assuming that the E's have all the same parts,and depending on with one you make some parts are not used and they also have different decals. The G's F being the same way as well. Yes/No?

 

[prem895]

I hope I am not boring all you pro's out there,but this is the wing filled with contacta. Next wet sand to get rid of any seams

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far!

 

[prem895]

Well,I guess it was only a matter of time before fit issues showed up.

 

[Tony Hill]

Sweet!

 

[prem895]

Well,after some fit issues. Wing to Fuge. This it what she looks like before RLM colour and camo go on. Ran out of grey primer so I used satin alum for base coat. I like it so for.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far!

A little more grey in the blue of the pants,...
And not to be picky, but if you are wanting to learn, the seams are still visible where the fuselage halves join.
And I do aplaud your effort!

 

[joker_86z28]

im digging it.

 

[prem895]

Meats,I know about the seams and the pants,but it is as good as this bird is going to get. I think the RLM colours will solve or at least make the seams less noticeable . Next stop Airfix 1/24 P-51D

 

[Wayne Little]

Let you in on a little secret...109's DO have panel line seams along the top and bottom of the fuselage.....

 

[Vaughan]

Wayne beat me to it here's a couple of shots of an original and restored 109 clearly showing the seam. By the way your doing a great job.

[prem895]

Great news indeed. Then I am just fine then

 

[meatloaf109]

I stand corrected. And to think I have been filling them all these years!

 

[prem895]

I almost filled it in last night,but I decided to let the base coat cure overnight. Good thing I did that. BTW does anyone have Swastika's for the tail to spare,I have some for a 1/32 ju87 but they are a little too big.Also I have some decals to trade them for if need be.

 

[Crimea_River]

Speaking of seams, the one on the bottom between the wing and fuselage doesn't look like it got your usual attention but the rest looks great.

I've lots of swastikas but I'm not sure any are for 1/32 but will take a look. They should scale to 10mm.

You saw that did you, Well I will readdress that tonight. I admit that I am getting board with this Revell offering and want to do a Trumpeter 1/32 early E. Up next is 1/24 Airfix P-51 BBdoll. Will post pic of corrections asap. Thanks CR for pointing that out,because I was going to leave it as is,knowing after I had painted the RLM colours that I would have said to myself."Why the hell did I let that slide?" Well back to Willie's Workshop
