24th scale airfix 109E -Joachim Muncheberg

Thanks for looking Ray, glad you like to work. Had to stop for a week because i was away. I am looking forward to continuing this work with renewed energy.

As usual, Brian.... I envy your skills..... excellent as always.

And i envy your painting and weathering, we are all good at something or other. thanks for looking. Dying to see what you are going to do to that FW you are building.

Some painting done to the cockpit. I might have gone a bit overboard with the chipping but the photos are magnified and it looks good on the real thing. Close up, they look overdone. that is the problem with close up shots.

GOBSTRUCK ! you're a real amster Brian !

I Mean Master

Looks like another masterpiece on the way Brian.

Well done so far.

Thanks guys as soon as i have the fuselage halves glued together i will bring it over to the club, hopefully next week.

The other side of the cockpit done. The fuselage halves were glued together yesterday.





I have just noted that i forgot to paint the cable clips. I Will try to do that now with the fuselage glued together.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

The detail in the cockpit is looking great. Would love to see a photo of what it looks like to the naked eye as well, I won't be making it to the club :-)

Update!! The nose and central underside area of the model lack a considerable amount of detail. Unfortunately, in my haste to paint the underside of the cowl so that i can start spraying primer, i forgot to take a pic of the model before any paint was applied showing all the extra work. Since the engine shows through the openings on the underside i wanted to paint the cowl before so that i would not get any yellow paint on it. The radiator intake required boxing in of the sides till it meets with the radiator. I also added the splitter plate. The small opening near the nose also required detailing. I added all the panel lines on the underside which was bare with nothning there. there are a couple of small bulges and breather pipes and of course the anchor points for the extra fuel tank. The enigne will not be exposed on this model. There is also considerable detail added to the propeller hub. Also added the two small openings in front of the exhausts on both sides.

The nose looks really good re-scribed & painted up. You are really flying along on this build.

Really fast work Brian, you should be there in no time.
Myself, I take ages.

Still a very long way to go Cyril. i had to paint the yellow on the nose becaue of the various openings there are in the cowl. Everything underneath would end up yellow.

SWEEEEEEEET !!! I want to see this one done. Masterly work as ever

Thanks oh grand Master for the compliment, glad you like it. Although she is an old bitch of a kit with nothing fitting properly she is fun!!

Brian all the work looks brilliant , Brain may I remind you that the E-7 spinner is closed , not open ..or that just for photo...

Thanks Marco yes it is clearly shown in photos of Muncheberg's 109. I will come to that. Thanks.

You tempt me to start a plane.
