The one & only - the Polish 109
Off we go! The instructions promise you the dashboard and seatbelt decals, but nothing like it has been found inside the box 🙁
Time to colse the fuselage
Aaaaaand done!
So far so good, sanding and filling is still ahead 😄
Just installed the canopy - masking next
The worst fit can be clearly visible - aside of this and the canopy fit is perfect 👍
Started spraying from the undersides
Added the Ocean Grey
And the green
Looks legit enough for me
Some sanding needed tomorrow, but it should do the trick
Few evenings of fixing, but me thinks it looks legit (FM G-6 underneath)
Mission accomplished me thinks 😉 Time for decals
Decals on
On its legs, started adding all the bits and pieces (like exhausts)
Almost there
Finito Benito! 😉

Robert PodkońskiOf course! Great idea! You mean the one paid for with the crate of whisky? 😉

Łukasz GlińskiI read it was a Bourbon bottle, but who knows after so many years? 😉

Łukasz GlińskiGlad to see you here mates, enjoy.
So far I just finished adding the dark green, tried the elastic putty for the first time ever and it's simply fantastic!

Patrick HagelsteinWIP Bf109-G10 Croatia | Album by Hagel (1:72)
Only now that I see we built the same aircraft. 😄

Łukasz GlińskiWhat a coincidence 😄
I peeked into your album only to find I trusted the instructions too much - this example had none of these overwing big bubbles 🙁
Trying remove it, in worst case scenario I will need a new kit

Moreno BaruffiniOh..Wow, I didn't realize that it was the same famous plane that defected in Falconara!
@Łukasz: keep it up! Maybe you just remove the bubbles and then n carefully repaint...
21 October 2023, 06:39
Łukasz GlińskiIndeed, that's the famous Falconara defector 🙂
So, I started the restoration 🙂

Patrick HagelsteinOh nooooooh!!!.... As Moreno said, you could sand them off and build the smaller blisters up with white glue or sprue goo.
21 October 2023, 19:29
Łukasz GlińskiThat's what I did, except for using some styrene leftovers from my stash
21 October 2023, 19:33
Łukasz GlińskiNot yet 😄 I'm just sanding as we speak and trying to blend it into the wing

Łukasz GlińskiAlways hated the plunging, but well you can behold the results now

Łukasz GlińskiThx a mil! I tried washing today, this time using the Ammo MiG acrylics, but still not very satisfied. Neither Tamiya nor these seem to work for me, might be too much paint here and there 🙁
Airfix/Matchbox seems like a better fit for me 😛
Still, I did what I could. Need to hand paint the aerials and matt varnish the whole thing. Don't expect heavy weathering, it wasn't flown much after repainting.

Łukasz GlińskiCompleted, enjoy the pics 🙂
I have to admit these late 109s look really good 👍
11 November 2023, 11:26
Łukasz GlińskiThanks mates, glad to see you like it.
@Robert: Why? 😉 It's a nice kit and I completed it in 2 months time - extremely fast pace in my case 😄
It could fit your "quickbuild" collection too 🙂

S MWell done 109! That faded spiral in the spinner is really interesting and well painted.
11 November 2023, 20:29
Robert PodkońskiOf course I refer to the modification of the wings... myself, I would have been to lazy to do this 😉
12 November 2023, 20:46
Łukasz GlińskiAh, I see what you mean. Well, I try to reduce the plastic waste in my household 😉
12 November 2023, 20:50
Djordje NikolicNice one! I like the camouflage and unusual markings. Also semi transparent cowling came out really good!
13 November 2023, 03:26
Łukasz GlińskiI think I forgot to post my thanks here for some time 🙂 So here I stand corrected 😉 Your comments are much appreciated 👍
