Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Any feedback, please. Does anything look strange? Just let me know. I am still very much a learner with 1:48th scale aircraft. I usually do 1:35th scale armour.

The radio antenna is made from AK Interactive 1/48 rigging, very thin copper wire wound up to look like a spring (a bit too thick I think, but I could not get thinner copper wire), then a 2 mm hole punch on thin copper sheet (moulded into a cone over a rounded tooth pick) and finally super glue dabbed on rigging (4-5 times top and bottom) until it was big enough (painted in AK cremeweiss colour). The entry into fuselage was made from spare ABER M50 Super Sherman 35034 brass metal set - small part just look like the right shape ... LOL pure guess 🙂

I thought the weathering was done right - especially around the cockpit area where it would see a lot of it from the opening and closing.

about the weathering, it is at the end a personal choice, some people like models like new, some like they have been years under harsh conditions.... yours look really good to me. but at the end, it is your own opinion what counts 😉
the antenna is fantastic, i need to copy that when i do my 109

Thank you Spanjaard for your kind words. The small cone on the antenna I made from copper sheet that I molded over a tooth pick was a little hard to control. I've seen another modeller use a small rod which he sharpened into a cone then drilled a hole thru it, I thank that may be easier and I'll try that next time.

Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Thanks for the explanation. I thought maybe you were implementing some hight end stressed skin technique 🙂. Amazing work all around 👍

A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.
