Looks impressive, all together! What happened to the left wing at the wingroot?

Thanks Mates, Holly, it's just a little sanding dust nothing to worry about, and Lode I should have called them half a Staffel. I'm now thinking these will go on a diorama set around olive trees in Sicily.

Pheew, only sanding dust...
The idea with them all together in Sicily sounds awesome to me!

109 shades of Bf 109 😮 - really impressive... I´m having trouble keeping track of the parts for one model on the bench + already falter when something mildly identical has to be done 2x (like 2 engines for one plane... 😄). This is several levels beyond... Looking great, keep up the good work 👍

Hello Michael 🙂 The Luftwaffe lands in Pearce 🙂 I have never done, 6 models, even if it is as good as the 109 from Eduard, to build the same, but then makes sure fun in the colors, a nice project, have fun 👍 👍 👍

Welcome Jens, yes you are right, it is fun doing so many enjoyable kits at one time. Today I'll start the clean up of the first aircraft and put the scratchbuilt wingtip lights in place, then painting on plane No. 1 will start.😄

This ones not to far from the finish line but I'll do some more decaling on the other 5 in the Sqn.

Almost at the end only waiting for some Rigging Wire to turn up in the mail so I can do the antennas.

Wait until Mick starts on the 1000 bombers to go with the 109s!

White 3 is completed so I only have another 5 109's to go and then this project will be finished. If I pick them off one at a time I should have them all finished by the end of the weekend.🙂

Thanks Lode, I was going to fish off "White 5" but it's getting a bit late so I think it's probably best if I leave her for tomorrow when I finish her sisters "White 6" and "White 7".

Aircraft 1 and 4 didn't have cartoon characters possibly due to not being in the unit anymore i.e shot down, and aircraft 2 also didn't have any cartoon on her that I could find. Interestingly the Illiad decal sheet calls out aircraft 2 to be used, the instructions say to use the Bugs Bunny in the cradle artwork, but I found a photo of aircraft 7 with the exact same cartoon. Because I found the photo that showed aircraft 7 with the artwork and couldn't find anything on aircraft 2 except for one photo showing clearly it did not have any artwork I went with aircraft 7.

Hey Peter I still got over 55 109's in the stash ranging from Eduard, Fujimi and Hasegawa, unfortunately I only have about a handful of Luftwaffe bombers to go with them. Why so many 109's, simples, there fun easy quick little builds, and take up bugger all space in the cabinet.🙂
