The stash, nothing added to a Profi Pack, just Montex masks and decals. I'll be painting all the markings but the shield.

Give the 72nd-er a 48th scale plane...

...aaand gluing to airframe... will be pity to close it. Still, a photo was made to make it eternal 🙂

Propeller ready for some chipping

Plenty of extra canopies in Eduard models makes protecting of cockpit easy. The correct canopy will be painted separately.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/8/9/3/902893-52499-30-720.jpg)
Not bad, I think this is the FIRST Me109 I've ever built.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/9/1/902891-52499-29-pristine.jpg)
Painted and lacquered
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/9/2/902892-52499-97-720.jpg)
Signs painted on using Montex masks, 8 and shields are decals. Swastika aswel, painting would be too difficiult for my taste.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/1/9/3/904193-52499-33-720.jpg)
Body and wings waiting for drying...
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/1/9/5/904195-52499-15-720.jpg)
Washing started on left wing. Chose the dark-green-gray wash to give that little green hue to a gray plane...
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/9/4/904194-52499-33-pristine.jpg)
Front panel washed, rear in an hour or so. Going through a year's family pack of cotton buds like a boss 8-)
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/7/9/1/905791-52499-12-pristine.jpg)
Finished! One day overdue 😄

Great looking cockpit! 👍. Where have I seen that before..., I have a strange feeling of déja vu..😉 Nice to see another Gustav.

Thank you Erik. I have a confession to make. I did not prime and apparently the model was a bit on the greasy side, so I could not tape straight lines on wings, had to freehand them. Oh well, will do better next time.

Trying to get ahead of Roland 🙂
Wash done, next is matt, grime/grease/smoke, matt, then final assembly... a lot of work for one last day hehe...
Considering I managed to throw the damn plane on the ground today and rework on antennas and rear-wheel. Luckily Eduard keeps so much spares it's easy to scavange.
Oh yes, I also managed to grip the front end with a glove soaked in MLT. So additional gray and yellow painting and lacquering... 2020 end of year is loong overdue :/

Finished! Crude photos just to prove my deadline 🙂, will make better ones when day. I enjoyed the Gustav, for sure not my last 109-er.

Absolutely beautiful work there Sergej🙂 The tones on the upper wing are eye candy.
