Re: Bf109 F4 Trop.
Thanks for the compliments guys glad you like it. This is my second day trying to fit the clear parts on the canopy, what a nightmare. It is a total pain to get them all in place, but unless i get it done and glue the front and rear parts to the fuselage, i cannot start the paintwork.

Re: Bf109 F4 Trop.
Here are some photos of my masked off, bare metal, riveted and stressed Bf109 F which is finally ready for painting. Whoopee!
By the way, my kubelwagen has also arrived. Looking forward to building it.

Re: Bf109 F4 Trop.
Thanks all you guys, Ivan, i need some references on how to paint my kubel. I gather from the photos i have seen and also the built models that a number of them were in panzer grey and then outer surfaces overpainted in sand. Can i do that? It will look great with two colours and besides, the chipping can reveal the grey underneath. Should look great.

Re: Bf109 F4 Trop.
Thanks guys, Ray i have given up on the good old rainy wintry days when nobody wants to go out and you just model away to your heart's content, oh for some of those lovely Sundays.
