This is quite a small kit & it builds very quickly! Progress so far represents only an afternoons work & just for a change, she is being built wheels up.

Thanks Cliff. It was almost finished when I couldn't find the white tail-band decal. So, I decided to mask & spray it on. Worked just fine. Then I peeled the masking tape off & the decals came with it! 🙁 In my rush I forgot that the decals had not been coated, DOH!

luckily that kit comes with spares 🙂
I suggest lots of decal softener and water and rub off the ruined ones

Nice work aside from the double shit bit, definitely worth rescuing, naturally 🙂

Yes indeed Spanjaard most of my mistakes are tragic and cannot be corrected. But with each build I make fewer mistakes and I learn a LOT 🙂

Album info

Due to the Messerschmitt Bf 109's versatility and time in service with both the Luftwaffe and other foreign air forces, numerous variants were produced over the eight years of service with the Luftwaffe and even more were produced by its foreign users.

The E-3 was replaced by the E-4 (with many airframes being upgraded to E-4 standards starting at the beginning of the Battle of Britain), which was different in some small details, most notably by using the modified 20 mm MG-FF/M wing cannon and having improved head armour for the pilot. With the MG FF/M, it was possible to fire a new and improved type of explosive shell, called Minengeschoß (or 'mine-shell'), which was made using drawn steel (the same way brass cartridges are made) instead of being cast as was the usual practice.

The new shell required modifications to the MG FF's mechanism due to the dif
