Full steam ahead
the race is on, between this build and the Slovak 109 to become the 11th 109 in my collection
Having spent quite some time on opening up different areas, this one is somewhat let down by the paintjob – the first time I have attempted to paint the markings, using far too thick layers.
Well, you can’t win them all, and the next major hurdle is to make Oerlikon guns for all 4 positions! None of the swiss E-3a’s had sleeves, the cowl mounted looking rather this, whereas the wingmounted may be sort of same size as Aber’s 20mm Japanese brass ones.
The spadegrip was made from a single piece of thread bent and painted.
Now the last few details, some paint and it’s there.
It now goes back in the box while I have a think. Stay tuned
