Thank‘s scottrc!  We’re definately but slowly getting back in the groove of things.  My grandson is leaving to Columbus for a week so I’ll catch up on some build time.  Thank’s for stopping by.

Weathering in the office looks really good, well broken in. Can’t wait to see the mottling you do. I’ve never tried it before, always chickened out and picked another scheme lol

Holy cow Toshi you are a machine!  I'm sure this one will turn out as nice as your other builds.

This engine assembly is much more complicated and has more smaller parts then the Tamiya 1/32 series of aircraft.  ie: Mustang, Corsair, Zero, Spitfire, etc.

Exhaust has been drilled out.

Very detailed at best.

The drilled out exhaust looks great!

Engine completed.  I just need to touch it up a bit,

That engine looks great!!  This looks like a fantastic kit.  This will keep you busy for while.  

As always with your fine builds,I'll be folowing this one too. I haven't been at the bench in way too long . As you know i work security at the Daytona Speedway and these are our busiest times there. I work 12 hour night shifts so there's hardly time to eat and sleep let alone do some modeling and boy do I miss it.

As I continue to build this kit, it looks complicated of which is fun!  I just need to be careful in each step.  Thank’s for stopping by!

It must be tiring after a third shift twelve hour nights.  I can understand and relate to your situation.  Time becomes very valuable, and time on the bench becomes less.  As you mentioned; “Boy do I miss it.”  

I hope to hear from you on this thread as I assemble the Me 109.  Thank you Uncle Jay Jay for your support.

Pre-prep of interior.

I originally was going to close up the entire Me 109.  But as you can see, this is just a dry fit.  Everything went together without any issues and or concerns.  The following of this kit of which is a plus is: viewable Engine, went together like a Tamiya kit, detailed cockpit, etc.  

Thank you for following this thread, it’s greatly appreciated!  

Your friend, Toshi

Getting ready to close “Gustav” up.  I’m removing the center engine cowling support bar so that I can show off the engine as a whole.  I’m going to expose the entire engine, that way when Mrs. Toshi and I view the final product we can enjoy the hard work I put into it.  

Thank you FSM Forum Members for following this build and all of the past builds not to exclude any future builds.  I am so greatfull and humbled that I have so many FSM friends following my builds.

Pre-prep of the Me bf 109.

These photos depict the Me bf109 G6 with the seams all taken care of.  As you’ve all seen in previous photos, very little if not no putty was used.  I like Tamiya White putty because it’s Lacquer based and dries quickly.  It also sands easy.  If thinning out is needed then a little Lacquer is all you need to add.  I have yet to add Lacquer as I’m very satisfied and happy with it‘s concistency.  Every modeler has their preference on what we like to use, this is what I enjoy working with and I’d figure that’s what counts in a hobby.  Having fun and enjoying your build time and I’m having one helluva time!  lol!

The horizontal and vertical stabilizers were adjusted a tad bit to show that it can move on this kit.  Just a little pose.  lol!  It makes it look interesting in my humble opinion.  I did it because I thought it looked cool.  Right now I’m taking a break from the bench to post this and then I’ll be working on the next step of which is the main wing assembly.  I’m get to work all day on this kit as my grandson Ezra is in Columbus, Ohio with his other grandparents.  So this is a nice break from having to watch him although Mrs. Toshi and I miss him so much.

Your friend, Toshi

Just checking on you as I do occasionally! The project is looking good as usual I see! Keep up the good work my friend----Max

Looks like you've got a great little helper!  Nice progress on the 109.  It's always a good feeling getting the fuselage halves together and filled.  Like the race if half done.
