"Hadn't you told me I wouldn't have noticed" @airbum, or, as we say here: many will see it, few will understand it. Looks terrific! Keep it up!

This is just a drill

Please remain calm, this is just a drill

Or perhaps “what a bore”?

In order to get some fresh air into the cabin, I wanted to open the window. That was done by chain-drilling;

After all that boring drilling a session of lovely filing took place, and voila;

And as you might have noticed in the picture above, the Brewster decals arrived – checked them for size;

next up the sliding windows get installed – stay tuned and feel free to comment

Thank you @fiveten - there was indeed a bit of nailbiting here, but I got it done. Next post (the last for tonight) coming up shortly!

You did a masterful job of drilling and cutting those sliding side windows ! The taping looks very good. You are definitely a 109 "Experten".

The Buffalo decals in the back ground caught my eye too.

Now I'm curious about where the Eduard 109 will be shipped to... Thanks for posting the updates.

@lgardner, @fiveten, Thank you. The maskingtape is a bit of a balance, as the blade needs to be sharp, and if it slips. . .

The eduard 109, well who knows, it may still be Japanese, as I have seen at least two different paint jobs, and speculate that I may have seen a third, but most likely it will be exported to somewhere in Europe 🙂 (did you not mention something of a Legion Condor 109 some time ago Louis?)

I would love to see the 109 in Japanese markings, @airbum! I also find Legion Condor schemes fantastic! Awaiting impatiently...

Because I never had the tail markings you have, I went this route when I built my Buffalo

You're good at masking, forget the decals and paint those hinomarus. Will look better in the end.
