Thanks guys!
So ... it's almost a year ago since my last update, time flies!
The 109 got shelved because the build progressed rather slowly.
I convinced myself to finish it before starting any new projects
, so here's an update from last month.
First I'd like to point out that all the hinged parts 'dangle' very loose - which I personally don't like for a static model so I will glue them in a fixed position later on.
The hinge-system is made with PE-hinges which slide over a steel rod.
Left aileron and flap.
Gluing the bottom- and upper-wing parts, aileron and flaps in position.
Gluing the elevator(hinges) to the horizontal stabilizer.
Wing ready and cleaned up
Gluing the wing to the fuselage.
I bit of putty was added in the front and back of the wing connection, this still needs to be sand down when cured.
The holes for the MG151/20 cannons under the wing were also filled with putty because I want this model to look like a standard fighter.
Next I'd like to keep the engine out of the aircraft so I can use it in another project.
This means I'll have to find another way to attach the exhaust pipes to the model.
So I found this piece in my scrap-box and marked 12 holes with a scriber-tool.
I used a small Dremel-bit to cut out the holes.
Then the exhaust-pieces were glued to the panel, so now they shouldn't be too difficult to install in the nose.
I added the horizontal stabilizer and started cleaning seams, this is what I have so far...
That's all for now,
Keep it safe and have a nice day!
