Moving on!

Having left the “Kindergarden” almost two months ago, it is high time to let you know where it is headed!

Well – Spain. It will become 6O135 with the Spanish Air Force at the Fighter School at Morón in 1943. That is one of the camouflaged examples in the SBS sheet for some Spanish Friedrichs. You may have seen it in the “Messerschmitt Bf 109 Werke” topic in this Group, and so I shall let those who want to know the progress so far check it over there.

This is one of the last pictures I posted back then, and that was the status quo till today, except it had its windscreens added.

Two of the choices in the SBS decals

And the last one will have to wait for the appropriate kit being started.

Now, I have been ordering some parts for this one.

There are some nice ailerons and an air-intake, I will decide later if they are for this build. The seat and wall are too late for this build, but with more Zvezda Friedrich’s in the stash it will be useful later on as the Zvezda is not all that correct for this version. The Engine Pump set will come in handy as the oilcooler is intended to be left open on this build.

and that gets yet another HalfWorks 109 on track. Stay tuned for the journey, and feel free to leave a comment

I love Spanish markings a lot, my friend @airbum (I think I had voted for them at Der Kindergarten).
This is a good progress and I like all those goodies you 've accumulated!

...not to worry, they will be used for sure at Halfworks!

Thank you gents - I like this camo color a lot as opposed to the more usual single (dual) color ones. Will indeed be interesting with the camo and those bright markings on the wings.

Spiros (@fiveten), most certainly will be used later on.
John (@JohnB) these are Quickboost and most major shops have them - like Modellbau Koenig in Germany or Hannants in England. I do think they are available direct from the manufacturer too. (uncle google will bring you there) As it happens mine were from Hannants and I often buy extras whenever I place an order for something (an new release to add to the ever growing stash?) to bring my order up to the free-shipping line 🙂

George (@gblair), I think you mentioned the decals and your thought to make the sand one - that will surely be a great one too. Very nice colors I think.

Anyway, another update about to show up on this topic - stay tuned.

I see you made good use of your "magic hands" mode to perform this delicate installation, my friend @airbum!
Looking great!

Thank you for the kind words John and Spiros. It really was not all that complicated, but if I had installed it before assembling the nose-section, it would have been a real no-sweat affair; just saw the excess from the pour, and cut off the ends to open up these, and pop it in. Any trouble here was self-inflicted 🙂

Thanks @JohnB and @fiveten for the comments.

Thanks George (@gblair), it was rather easy this time though as the resin part fitted right in place after being sawn off the casting block. Update comin' right up.

Nice progress, my friend @airbum!
Congratulations on your first LS application! Looks very sporty! (Upon curing, you may wish to firstly cut/scrape it with your hobby knife to make it somehow even and then proceed with your sanding papers, or use the sanding papers directly. If some roughness remains, I usually use some putty, or some thick cyano).
The one piece resin part is indeed wonderful.
