Limited run kit took longer than expected - had problem with fit of the canopy and damaged it. Overall i enjoyed making it but shame SH didn't retool it like they have with the other P-40s.

I'm interested to see how oil pastels work

Skyhiker
What the heck is that thing supposed to do? I've never seen it before.

Since Figure 6 shows a table for performance gains at different altitudes by injecting liquid oxygen into the compressor, I assume that this is the injection system.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Andrea Brenco
Thank you everybody for your interest!
@Nicolas and Skyhiker : yes is a test apparatus for injecting liquid oxygen into the turbocharger of a conventional DB engine.
I will add more info when the model will be finished, thank you!

Andrea Brenco
@ S M : I willl post something about the oil pastels ASAP, thanks|

Villiers de Vos

Very impressive job! 👍

Vladica, I found the kit in my stash. I will package it tonight and calculate a postal estimate to Serbia for you. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
Let me know how much the postage would cost to Serbia, so I can see if I can afford it. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
Vladica,
I packaged the kit as lightly and securely as possible, but the shipping estimate to Serbia is $35.60. Your total would be $50 USD. If you want it, please send my your complete name, shipping address and email address for the Customs form. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
Thanks for the info. Sorry, but that's a bit much for me. Tell me how much it would cost to ship that model to Chicago? I have a relative there, so I could ask him to send to his address. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
$8.60 to Chicago.

Vladica Jović
Okay, I'll contact my brother in Chicago today, to see if he's on vacation by chance and to agree on shipping. Please send me your Paypal account and your email address so that we can pay you and send you the address in Chicago. I will contact you as soon as I hear from my brother. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
Okay. My PayPal address is: vertol-107@hotmail.com

Vladica, Can we possibly trade? I know of a vendor in Serbia who sells UpRise decals. Can you purchase UpRise1:72 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Stencils - UR72176 in Serbia? You could just mail them in an envelope with a stamp to me. If I mail the Mirage to Chicago = 2 UR72176. If I mail the Mirage to Serbia = 3 UR72176. you think that is a fair trade, please let me know. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
In principle, it can. I'll stop by the Post Office afterwards to check how much the postage costs and I'll call the decal seller to ask if he has three in stock. I will contact you when I check it. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Vladica Jović
So I will buy you the 3 pcs of decals you asked for and send them to you, and you will send me Mirages to Serbia. I don't have to pay you anything. We will do so. Best regards.

Dutch
Vladica, Please give my your full name, address and email (for customs form). Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
I just sent an inquiry to the dealer for the decals. I'm waiting for an answer. Best regards.

Vladica Jović
I would just take a look at your decal offer tonight, maybe you have something I need, so I would pay you to send it all together, if I find something interesting.

Dutch
Let me know before 10PM and I will include it in the box.

Vladica Jović
I just got a call from this man who sells decals. There is currently only one set in stock.

Vladica Jović
Would you like another set of decals?

Vladica Jović
He still doesn't know when he will get two more sets of those decals. What do you suggest ? Best regards.

Dutch
Vladica,
I see the other two MIrage decals that you want. I can add those to the package. I can substitute the following UpRise decals:
(1) YF-23 Black Widow II, UpRise 1:144, UR144200;
(1) RA-5C Vigilante (RVAH-11) UpRise 1:144 UR14425;
(1) Boeing 707 KAL "First shooted" UpRise 1:144 URC14413

Or, if he carries CtA decals, then you could ask for:
(2) Boeing KC-135T Stratotanker Tail painted for a 100th anniversary 116th ARS, CtA Models (cut then add) 1:144 144073
Does that sound fair?
Kind regards,
Dutch

Vladica Jović
So you want the following decals:
UpRise1:72 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Stencils - UR72176
(1) YF-23 Black Widow II, UpRise 1:144, UR144200;
(1) RA-5C Vigilante (RVAH-11) UpRise 1:144 UR14425;
(1) Boeing 707 KAL "First shot" UpRise 1:144 URC14413

Hello Vladica,
I returned home early. I have located the two decals that you want and included them with the Mirage kit. I will mail the package tomorrow. You can send the UpRise and CtA decals when you get them all together. No hurry. Kind regards, Dutch

gorby
WOW, fantastic!

alessandro magrelli
Amazing job

Neuling
Beautiful colors and shading!

Guy Rump
Beautiful build. 👍

Mr James
Agree with Neuling

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

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

Neuling
