FalconFan24 Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 I picked this kit up for 10 dollars......and it is a pretty easy build. Gonna finish this up in 2 days. Got the cockpit done in 2 hours and gloss coat is on. Next step: filter will be applied and flat coat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFan24 Posted March 4, 2024 Author Share Posted March 4, 2024 Ok, part 2: flat coat on, light dirt added in. Ready to bring the fuselage together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFan24 Posted March 5, 2024 Author Share Posted March 5, 2024 Update Part 3: so I got bogged down with the fuselage. For some reason....this time around the tail to fuselage joint was extremely problematic. Lot's of sanding and rescribing done and I am still not finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFan24 Posted March 11, 2024 Author Share Posted March 11, 2024 Update 4: unfortunately, I was not able to finish the kit in 2-3 days as I had hoped. My mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer this past week. Today was the first day I was able to do some modeling. In tough times, modeling is such a therapeutic release and helps keep me grounded. So I was able to close up the cockpit, install the lower piece with the wing alignment part, and glue & fill the seams of the nose cowling piece. I also received the Ammo paint set. I am going to try it out on this kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cool Hand Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 Nice build so far. I have to ask, why are you going to use the RLM 81/82/83 colors introduced in late 1944 for a G-4 built in early 1943? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not a WWII guy, so I ended up ordering the wrong paints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFan24 Posted March 16, 2024 Author Share Posted March 16, 2024 Final update: as you can see, the 109 build came to an end today. My clumsy a** dropped the model and why trying to scoop it up....ended up stepping on it instead. Sigh.....here lay it's final remains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cool Hand Posted March 17, 2024 Share Posted March 17, 2024 Bummer. Will you be trying another G-4? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up this sheet of captured G-6's at a hobby show for a nice price! It has several options that look awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
