Manstein's revenge

You would be correct in dropping the flaps...109's can be seen in pics with their flaps in all manners of positions while parked...

 

The slats should be down if the aircraft is "parked" too, but I've never seen a kit that has the slats molded as separate parts... Is there such a kit?

 

 

Yes, all Hasegawa 109 kits have seperate slats, a simple plastic representation, but its there.

Dupes- digging up that article today for you. Stay tuned...

 

DITTO...the slats are all separate on the Hasegawa kits...

Ahh, thanks.. Hasegawa kits eh?  Hmm.. I'll have to check the prices, but they're probably over my personal limit for 1/48 fighters...

Nathan - looked at that article last night...TOTALLY did not remember seeing that before. 10 hour airbrush session? I don't think I'm going to be going that route!

Hans - Hasegawa 109s can be had for right around 15 bucks if you look in the right places.

I think the new 1/48 Zvezda Bf 109F has movable slats too.

All the others looking great, I really like the b-17 shot in the classroom. Very cool!

 Keep them coming!

Thanks for the kudos from all who commented on my classroom build. I haven't been on the thread for a while, so I hadn't gotten to responding. We're still working on the big beauty shot for the front page. Thought I'd set it on a sky background with photoshop but I haven't gotten it to look right yet.

I must say, we've got some amazing talent around here. I can't believe the quality coming out of some of these tiny (esp. 1/72) kits!!!

OK... A few more pictures... Shes starting to take shape.

coming along

Is it just me or are these photos not showing?

I tried to download some photos earlier today, and it said Down load succesful and will be posted but nothing appeared and when I tried to reload it rejected as duplicate downloads... Not sure whats going on.

You need to create an account with an online service like photobucket ,( it's free),, then you can upload your pics to that account ,, click the link under the selected picture for copying the htlm code and then paste it on the entry for FSM

Many thanks!

Looks like you posted the thumbnail size pics but squinting my eyes the right way your model is looking great!!

Here is my 1/48 ICM 109 F-2 in kit form.

Mouldings look nice and crisp, very little flash. The only pain is that there are no locator pins and no part # on the sprues, just a schematic on the plans with the extremely tiny #'s.

I have painted the cockpit and sidewalls grey and will start on the pannel later this weekend , I don't see it as a complex build, just to find the time to do the thing! LOL

Got a couple of those ICM kits, the certainly do look good in the box...interested to hear how the fit is!

Heres a few more... Getting close, age and weathering next.
