jagmate Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hi ARCers; this is my first post on the in progress section. It's a long term project simply because it takes me ages to get things done.............nothing to do with the skill level, as you will see! Fortunately for me I'm putting it together under the helpful watch of Neil (Paragon) Burkill, so anyway here goes....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagmate Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 .......and now some camouflage. Does anybody else have 'three steps forward and two steps back' days? I seem to have them very often. Next the decals. Small problem; I've lost them! Oh well time for more money into the Eagle Strike coffers. Maybe I'll use the kit crosses and swastikas whilst waiting for the postman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mungo1974 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 looked very nice when i had a peek,while visiting Neil the otherweek.. keep up the nice work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tbell Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Looking good. I've got the decals in the stash, but no kit to put 'em on just yet. One question for you: isn't the sandgelb supposed to extend up over the wing fillettes, too? Mind you, all I've ever seen are artist's profiles and other people's models, so this question is based on nothing more than what I expect to see as opposed to hard data. Perhaps it won't matter in the end if you apply heavy exhaust staining, as desert 109's often had! Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 One question for you: isn't the sandgelb supposed to extend up over the wing fillettes, too? Photos I've seen of JG 27 aircraft, where you could see any demarkation between the colors, would suggest that's true. Any chance you can shoot some more RLM79 on the fillets? Overall though I think it looks fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance you can shoot some more RLM79 on the fillets? Overall though I think it looks fantastic. Thanks David and Tony; you are both correct. The question of "to fillet or not to fillet" reared its ugly head as I was doing the masking or, more correctly, as I was undoing it! Neil also suggested that when I got back from the current 4 months away I dust on a couple of light coats of sandgelb and overlay some exhaust staining in pastel or Tamiya smoke. Good to see you talented blokes are singing from the same song sheet! This reply was supposed to have some photos attached but I've done something odd in photobucket (least it's in a bucket eh :blink: )so they'll have to wait. Neil, if you read this can you post the latest photos here for me? Ta. Thanks to all for the encouraging comments. Remember: it's all very well engaing in 1 to 1 combat in those airy vaults but if you don't nail the advancing hordes and they build a SAM site in your crewroom, youve lost!

Yeah, I would think that would work great. I can't wait to see it as it progresses. I built one of Marseille's Bf 109Fs years ago but it was unfortunately destroyed in a move.

moeggo Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Lovely work! makes me want to pull out a 109 and start building! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks Neil, how's tricks? :) Not bad . Finally made a start on re-doing all the Mosquito stuff (not before time!). It's a pity you are not here at the moment, I could do with the use of your 'Mosquito Bible' book I borrowed before, it was a usefull little book if I remember correctly!

B) The books are on the shelf in the study. There's a set of pilots notes for the FBVI, the 'bible', a reprint of the RAF tech manual, 'Mossie at War' and the datafile..........get crackin'!!!!!! I'll tell Mrs Miggins that you'll pop round for them at some point. Have you still got our home phone number? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
