Good to see you back at the desk with another cool project 👍

Micky
Thank you my friend! Beatiful plane.

Lost_Erik
Good progress! 👍

Micky
Thank you Erik!

Christian
Hallo Stefan, hab das selbe Modell im Regal. Bin gespannt wie deine wird, soweit schaut das richtig vielversprechend aus. Und ich bekomme bei deinen Bildern richtig Lust, den Bau der Messerschmitt ebenfalls zu starten!

Christoph Kunz
Nice Idea with the tape and decal combo 👍

Stefan L.
@Christian Hallo Christian, bist jetzt sind mir bei dem Modell keinerlei Probleme aufgefallen, alles passt wunderbar zusammen , kann dir nur empfehlen das Modell zu bauen. Selbst wenn das Modell verglichen mit den neuen Tamiya oder Eduard Modellen weniger Details aufweist, macht es sehr viel Spaß diese Details selber hinzuzufügen und selbst wenn man die Details weglässt, ist das Modell sehr schnell gebaut und für den Preis meiner Meinung nach sehr zu empfehlen. Abgesehen davon sind die meisten neuen Bausätze der BF109 von der G Variante und nicht von der E Variante. Hoffentlich kann ich dich mit meinem Bau inspirieren, dein Modell auch anzufangen 🙂

Stefan L.
@Christoph Kunz thank you!

Christian
Schaut sehr gut aus Stefan! Die Sache mit den Nieten für meine E hat der Vorbesitzer meines Kits mit einem kompletten Satz Nieten Decals von HGW gelöst. Für andere Projekte hab ich auch schon über ein solches riveting Tool nachgedacht?! Hab jetzt einmal geplant, das Modell über den Winter zu bauen. Allerdings will ich vorher noch meine UH-1B und die MH-60K zu Ende bringen, bzw. diese parallel dazu bauen. Bis Mitte November bin ich noch sehr mit unserem Hausprojekt und der Landwirtschaft eingeteilt. Auf alle Fälle bin ich auf das Resultat deiner Bemühungen gespannt!!!

Desert Marlin
My favorite is the Emil variant.

Stefan L.
@Christian Ein solches Nieten Set habe ich auch gesehen aber um ehrlich zu sein, ist es mir nicht wert, den Preis des gesamten Modells noch einmal für Nieten zu zahlen. Gut für dich, dass der Vorbesitzer sie schon gekauft hat, ich würde sie auf jeden Fall benutzen, bin schon gespannt wie deine Emil aussehen wird!

Stefan L.
@Mark Lawrence since this is my first BF109, I'm no expert yet but I also like the Emil just simply due to the fact, that the Gustav variants seem to get build more often, which why I like seeing the Emil instead of yet another Gustav!

Desert Marlin
Those from the Schlachgater are also quite interesting.

Sergej I
Great progress, Stefan 👍

Stefan L.
@Sergej I, thank you so much!

John
Looks great Stefan and nice cockpit. Neat trick on the fishing line, thanks.

Stefan L.
@John thank you for your nice words! Always happy to spread some tips! 🙂

Marcin Dudek
Wow, thanks for the detailed description! I learned a lot only by reding. I'm looking forward for more.

Stefan L.
@Marcin Dudek I really appreciate your comment Marcin! I wasn't expecting that someone really reads all the stuff I write but seems I was wrong! It makes me really happy that you found some useful tips even though this is just my second proper model and I am far from being a somehow experienced modeler. Take care and keep modeling 🙂

John
For the boundaries since it's straight edge you can just touch it up with a post it note pretty easily.

Stefan L.
@John thanks for the tip! I would have masked it again but the post it method is much easier, didn't think of that, thanks alot!

Christophe
Thank you for sharing!

Stefan L.
@Christophe your welcome! Appreciate it and thanks for the comment!

John
Nice mottling Stefan. 👍

Stefan L.
@John thank you very much John!

Doubtingmango
Fantastic build with a great narrative filled with useful tips

Stefan L.
@Doubtingmango thank you for your kind words!

John
Looking really good!

Stefan L.
@John thanks!

Jennifer Franklin
That's a neat trick with the fishing line; lots of great detail on your work. Very nice work so far.

Stefan L.
@Jennifer Franklin thank you for the nice words 🙂 I'm really trying my best and hope that my increased experience will show at the end result, especially when compared to my first ever modelkit, the Eurofighter

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Looking good, especially knowing this is your second build. 1:48 is a good scale to start with. Thumbs up and keep modeling 👍

Stefan L.
@Thomas Haberl thank you very much! 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍

Stefan L.
Thank you!! 🙂 @Guy Rump

Gerald

John
Nice job on the exhaust/gun stains. 👍 You are right, you really can't go too thin on that mix. I'm cheap so I just use XF-1 (and other colors for allied planes that used leaded gas) thinned way down with isopropanol and make multiple passes until it looks right. I also add some pastel/pigment to give some body to the stain as well like you suggested. Looking good, Stefan!

Stefan L.
@John thank you!! Tonight I also used black pigment in the core and close to the gun barrels to give the stains a more interesting look, happy with the result, pictures will follow soon! 🙂 And thanks for the tips, appreciate them alot! 🙂

Christoph Kunz
Amazing work on the antenna. Those cones are outstanding.

Stefan L.
@Christoph Kunz thank you alot!! In retrospect the spring, the insolator and the cone should be closer together but I am still very happy with the result, hopefully you are able to reproduce those cones if you like them based on my little guide some posts earlier 🙂

Desert Marlin
Absolutely love these antenna cones. Excellent idea! How was the antenna glued to the masts?

Stefan L.
@Desert Marlin thank you, appreciate it alot!! I used normal CA glue, not the slow drying or the thin one, just the regular VMS glue. Any CA will do the job. Just place a tiny drop on the mast, put the end of the antenna cable in it. Then you take you other end, stretch it a bit (thats the neat thing about those Uschi Van der Rosten rigging cables, because you can stretch them like a rubber band and they hold this stretched state, thus they look like a real, tensioned antenna cable would look like) then you put another tiny drop of CA on the other mast, but the rigging thru it and hold the position for 10 seconds and then you are done. To be on the save side, I then put another small drop of CA on the already glued ends of the antenna cable to enhance the connection even more. The end of the rigging was then cut using my exacto blade.

Desert Marlin
Excellent! Could I get a link to the Uschi Van der Rosten cables?

Stefan L.
@Desert Marlin sure, here is the link to the website I got them from (super-hobby.at/produ..ng-linka-0-02mm.html) I am Austrian, thus I shop on websites which are quite close to me, thats why the shop is from Poland. I am sure, you will find the same product or a very similar one at an American dealer. The one I linked you, is the exact diameter I also used (0,02mm), good look at finding this product! 🙂

Stefan L.
@Desert Marlin and here is the link to the product on ScaleMates: (Rigging - Medium Fine 0.02mm.. Mig Jimenez A.MIG-8017, No))

Desert Marlin
Much appreciated!!! Thanks Stefan!

Spanjaard
very nice result in the melted muuffler

Stefan L.
@Spanjaard thank you, I hope to achieve some nice rust variations at those dented spots

Spanjaard
I am sure you will 🙂

Doubtingmango
Great narrative! Watching

Stefan L.
@Doubtingmango thank's alot, appreciate it!
