Thanks Gamera and Joe. My bench time has been very limited while helping our son and family move and now the wife has me doing two big home projects.Huh? 

I paint in the garage and that is a mess right now unable to set up for air brushing the clear flat on my Kurfürst. I should be able to partially use the garage by next week.

Mustang: She's lookin' good! I've found it's often easier just to destroy the detail in places like that and rescribe it later. 

PJ: Looking forward to more updates when you get the time.

I'd like to jump in with Heinrich Bartel's Bf 109G-6 based in Greece in November 1943. Rot dreizehn is a pretty snappy scheme that I've wanted to do for a while. White trim, red markings, spinner spiral and sawtooth Erla wing camo -- what's not to like? When I saw the group build, this project jumped ahead of several others on deck. I'll also be posting in the aircraft section. 

 

There are quite a few photos of this plane on the web, including this one in flight. 

 

Heinrich Bartels was a 99-victory ace. Here he is after tallying his 70th victory.

 

I'm using Tamiya's 1/48 kit with aftermarket decals. I'll be using a few aftermarket goodies including the guns. The main paints will be Mr. Color lacquers. 

The office is complete.

Nick: The NM on the 104C looks amazing and looking forward to seeing how the pre-shading on the 104G works out. 

Hoss: Wow, now that's a colourful 109. And the cockpit looks beautiful- great work there!

Hi guys, sorry for going AWOL. I started with the best of intentions. We all know how that goes...

I got very sick maybe a week after we started. Not COVID, just run of the mill flu but it was rough. Then I couldn't access my photo host. Should have just moved on, it's free, but I'm stubborn.  Next, had a big blowout with my girlfriend and had to move. It's taken a while to get packed, moved, unpacked and set up but I am. Now I'm trying to get my *** back. Finally got the paint booth operational and shot some paint the other day. Hope to break out the glue soon.

I'm going to get caught up on what's going on here and get back at it. Will try to have some pictures soon.

Hmmm, I see stars. I didn't say a bad word. Don't know why they didn't like it. Sorry. Just another term for getting back in the groove. I hope that's not offensive...

Good to see you back wingman.

Was it a 4 letter word that starts on M and ends in O. I can't recall exactly why that word is blocked, but it does go back a few years.

Great progress here fellas. 

John: Your 210 looks AWESOME bro!! I've always liked the look of this aircraft and you've certainly replicated it well. I've got the Meng 1/48 scale bird in the stash. May have to break that one out.

Yes sir, I believe you got it. And I kinda remember that now. Maybe it's too close to an abbreviated slang word. Hehe

Thanks and I'll get some pictures up soon.

John: She looks fantastic! Great job all around, love the camo and mottling, and you did a perfect job on the complex greenhouse canopy! Heart

 

Wingman: Glad to hear you're better now. Yeah, that term got banned because a certain troublemaker used it as one of his favorite words.

Thanks for all the kind comments on my 210.  not a bad kit, only 2 things were kind of screwy, the long split down the canopie and the spinners didn't fit very.  I'd almost be willing to try Italeri's Me 410.  Lol

Some more progress. In the last week it's been mostly build up and getting things ready for the painting stage of the build. Looks like the wing/ fuselage fit is gonna be pretty good on this one. Good ol' Tamiya kits....just can't beat 'em.

Looking good Joe. Tamiya is known for their great parts fit.Beer  

I‘m still in limbo with my garage full of stuff from two projects for the wife so barely any room to move in there means no airbrushing till the mess gets out of there. Two rooms are getting vinyl planks and man they look awesome and super easy to install.

Let's see if this works...

In case it does, I'll add more later. I'm actually at the point of joining the fuselage. Decided to work on both variations at once.
