Scalemates Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group build 2020
First things first ,,,, cockpit has been painted in RLM66 ... Tamiya XF-63
Pedal straps made in lead foil from a bottle of wine
All things glued together and some flat aluminium Tamiya XF-16 dry brushing
Fuselage halves being painted
Finished coskpit bar seat belts and instrument panel
Finished cockpit
Fuselage halves glued together
This is the only gap to be filled so far ... but it could be my fault
A sliver of the thinnest plasticard I could find (0,1 mm) in my stock
Checking
Now is perfect
Wings being glued to the fuelage
I used and old Gunze H68 (RLM74) tin and it the paint reacted with the new paint H417 (RLM76) wihci I used as primer,,, it seems Gunze changed the formula some time ago.
I used and old decal sheet from ESCI and it was a complete disater .... even tgouhg decals were protected with Micro Decal Film ,,,, broke aprat in the edges .... lots asn lots of PVA gkue were used to stick the decals to the wings
On the other side , decals from AZ models kit are superb (devil inb the nose and Italian flags)
Complete disater ... ARRGGGG !!!! Also the whit backgroung is not correct ..... ther should be the fascios and the black square
PE seat belts addes to the cockpit
Canopy is cristal clear and frames are very well defined ,,, so I could paint them by hand ,,, no masking was used
Antennae was added with the hekp of my next project ,,,, 1/24 Porsche 917 K from Heller ,,,, this is the engine
FINISHED on 2020 by the skin on my teeth ,,,,, .. Not one of my best efforts ,,, but calling it done anyway.

Erik ,,, this cloud be my fault ... I've seen in the i'net that most modellers glue this piece after wings have been glued ... no big deal anyway
