Get some work done on the 109F, little disappointed in the lack of any great detail in the cockpit,especially for Hasegawa. Couldn't find an after market one so went with the one in the box but added some photo etch seat belts. Not one of my favorite things to do .Fuselage fit was very nice so I wont be needing any putty or filler. Hopefully the wing alignment to the fuselage will also be exact. Makes for a faster build, which will be necessary as I have a P-38E staring me in the face and wants to be added to the KP build. Got the desert air filter in place but getting it painted will be a bit of a challenge. And my JG27 decals came today so it seems I'm all set.

Excellent work my friend ! The seat belts look fantastic ...

Great choice of decals too. Which one are you going to do Tom ?

I didn't see a white 12 on the front cover sheet. Double black Chevron or Red two look good. HJM's yellow 14 wouldn't work (unfortunately) and I think the yellow 4 was from the Eastern Front. Not sure though.

I'll be looking forward to seeing a Lightning here...

Wow David... the joys of teaching... doesn't leave much time for plastic. Hang in there buddy.

That's good news Tom about the number 12 in your decal stash.

Boy you are 100 percent correct about Hasegawa and the white colors in the decal sets they provided in their kits. However I recently purchased two 1/48 scale F6F Hellcats, ("10,000th Hellcat", & "Pacific Aces" ) where they must have been a more current release. The white actually looked white instead of the usual cream color one normally associated with Hasegawa kits from years ago. It was a pleasant surprise...

Hopefully you can build a P-38 for the GB. That would be very cool...

Looking forwards to progress of your Augsburg Eagle...

Lighting fast progress!

Tom, you are flying with this one - fantastic - lots to look at in the GB right now - its really great to see all the progress - can't wait to see the next stages!

Made some time to put some stickers on the 109. Can't say enough about the EagleCal decals they are going down extremely well. Still have some RLM 04 yellow to add under the engine, and that I'll paint by hand. Was ready to do that yesterday but as usual in the modeling world my RLM 04 had dried hard as a rock. Guess I'll be visiting the local hobby store tomorrow. Always have issues with yellow even when I lay down a white base coat before applying the yellow. Not far off before I'll be calling this one finis.

Fantastic work, Tom. You are pretty remarkable with the speed and efficiency by which you turn out top shelf work. Someday I hope to be there!
