๐ … Greetings … ๐ :
Nice work Frederick. It is always nice to remember the BoB .
Thank you for sharing the images.

Thank you, I did a Hurricane a few months back from the BoB also.

Nice 109, Frederick. Maybe a little more brightness in the photos next time? Maybe it’s just me but I was struggling to get the detail in the shadows. Anyway, I always had a soft spot for the E-series – like the Gs before they went to the gym.
Frederick J Seitz III said on August 29, 2016
Not you Rob. One on the light I use to take pictures blew a bulb and I was in too much of a rush to go out and get more.

Nicely done 109. Was it OOB or did you add any extras?
Frederick J Seitz III said on August 29, 2016
Thanks Tom. Kit is OOB. The thing I guess you can say was added are the seat belts, which are strips of paper cut from the instruction sheet. Buckles too.

OK, so maybe the pictures are a little dark, but it’s still a smart looking 109.
Greg Kittinger said on August 29, 2016
Great looking 109! Love the E – my favorite of the breed, and like the classic blue sided scheme.
Robert Royes said on August 29, 2016
Real nice ! Ditto on the blue scheme.

Freddie, if you like humidity, come visit in August, one of these times. The only places worse, in my experience, are Ft. Monroe, Va. and the Mekong Delta. I can keep you hydrated, depending on which beer you like.
Nice 109, I missed it previously. The hollenhund insignia is a favorite, and the yellow wing and stab tips are not seen that often, good choice. With MEs, infinate choices for markings and schemes.
