johnsan Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Simple kit, simple scheme. Should be a quick build. Decals are from RB Productions and look simply stunning. More information about this plane can be found here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Interesting project, John. Glad to see you decided to join in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsan Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Oh, I was always going to join. Just had other things in front of this in the build schedule. As it is, this one will be done during down time on other builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsan Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 FineMolds 109s - what a great series of kits. They just fall together. Painted, washed, pasteled the interior. Added some FineMolds PE seat belts. Since taking these photos, the interior has been installed, the cowling pieces, and lower wing has been added to the fuselage. It should be ready to paint in a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnsan Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 These FineMolds 109s almost just want to build themselves. The fit is just great. About the only thing needing attention is the fit of the canopy and it only need a little judicious trimming. I've replace the kit pitot tube with one turned from a bit of .4mm brass rod. It's all painted with a mix of Mr Color white and #34 sky blue to approximate a faded AII blue. Actually there are about 4 different shades of blue here, all applied with thin glaze coats. Since these photos were taken this afternoon, it's had a dirty brown enamel wash and another blue glaze to repair where the thinners lifted paint. All in all, it's looking pretty ratty and better than I'd hoped. About 1/3 of the stickers have been applied. Should be done in a day or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Looking good, John. Are those cowl bulges scratch built? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsan Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 and done! The bulges are resin and came with the RB Productions decals. Their fit is very good; only requiring trimming of a small mold blob on the underside. The instruction for the decals are very complete providing cprint and web reference citations. the decals themselves are superb in color, printing, and application. I hardily recommend RB Productions and wish to thank Radu Brinzan for providing such a quality product. It turned out to be a very quick and easy project that yielded an unusual Messerschmitt to add to the collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
