Quick cheap fix...and it felt good.

Last night after the wife and kid went to sleep, I was not tired one bit.  I went to the basement "mancave" and wanted to model...but I just didn't want to run that noisy Campbell Hausfeld compressor and possibly ruin the peace.

So I busted out a cheap (Won it on ebay for .99 cents) Starfix 1/48 Bf109 and glued it together.  The model itself is TERRIBLE.  It is underscale  by alot compared to my other Bf109 models.  In real life the rivets would be 2 inches or more to scale on this kit. 

The interior is worse...I ended up just painting the inside of the canopy black.  I didn't paint anything else, cut the prop blades off, and made the wheels positioned up.  I think this was truly intended to be a toy...so I made it like one.

I have to say I felt like a kid when it was done.  It was awesome to whip up a kit in under an hour.  I'm going to give this to my son as a new toy.  I highly recommend for good therapy and to have the sense of instant "accomplishment" to anybody.
