Just noticed that it has been over a month since I last updated here...terrible procrastination effect
Honestly these 109 haven't been in the bench much, but here is a quick update of what I did
Since I managed to get the engine a bit further than it should be, had to sand a bit of the engine firewall area and shape a few other components to maintain the scale shape. It was daunting but a far less complicated affair than I had expected.
Still a few cables to add and paint before attaching both MGs and proceed to get the engine covers in the open position.
Shame that the stencil decals (from Eduard) developed some silvering a few days after their application. No remedy cured that issue...
