Nice to get some springtime outdoor work done when you can.

Going crazy doing and redoing the cockpit vents etc, so taking a break and going back to the wings.

I want to model W.Nr.110073, the only Bf 109H-1 I have a positive identity for. She was tested at Guyancourt, France from January 1944, and most likely painted overall RLM 76, atleast at the time of the D-day landings, when she was stripped of all armament (except I believe for the engine mounted MG 151/20) and used to photograph the beaches as a high altitude reconnaissance fighter.

With this in mind, I have started to remove the moulded in wing gondolas:
Stbd gondola in place.

Port gondola removed. (not cleaned up yet, some detail may need rescribing)
