Psycho,
It is good to hear you are not out of the game. Sounds like you need to have your area purged, cleansed, purified. A young priest and an old priest? A Shaman? A Shaolin monk?
I'm looking forward to seeing more of this 109 v2.0
Cheers
Dave
With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine.
Well its 90% repainted, The spots could be a lot better, but Im stll an airbrush rookie so there are visibly imperfections. Only that needs to still be painted is the propeller, spinner and under the flaps. As much as Id like to I dont think i'll be done with it in a week but I will try to finish soon.
Pics tonight or tmw or next few days, I never know when I have time to do these things...
Psycho good that your up and running again. After this build I can say at least for basic large area airbrushing I'm no rookie. The only thing I've done since last up date to this bird is airbrush airbrush airbrush, the grey took three coats before I could get it solid. Oh well one pic only but speaks alot. Time to assemble the wings fully soon :)

Glad to see you two are still at it. Technically the GB ends next week, but feel free to take a few more weeks if you need it, I don't think the GB cops will come after you.
I hope to have mine done by then Aaron.
I'm off to start painting the struts etc. Have had a bugger of a time getting the accurate colour scheme for them. Still not sure about the colour I've used on the lower 1/2. Other than an interstate or international order (sky grey is far from a common colour now) its the best I can come up with (referenced from tamiya's swordfish ) which isn't quite accurate for this plane and I'm not sure how to mix said colour. Happy to let it go as such, think about getting a float or mk 2 from tamiya and getting all rivet county about it (and doing it wings out, I'm almost regretting building this wings tucked)
I'd say you did well, the Sky you mixed looks like the Pollyscale Sky S I used on my Lysander.
Aaron apperently the sky I needed is a greyer version, that the RN use before switching to this slightly greener version (and from the colour shots I've seen I'd agree).
Anyhow heres my latest update. Not alot to show but ALOT of work, wings are 95% done. If this kit has a downfall its the bracing wires, most are to long and some use the same slots at others that you have already super glued shut with a previous one. Right royal pain in that butt. While I have no real issues with their plastic mouldings after this build and their ASLAV kit, I'd say they have a LONG way till they reach eduards standards with photo etch.
Well almost done, some a couple of small parts, some 2nd coats on things (look at those wing folds) then decals and the torpedo and done. Should have it done on time.
Woot! Complete!
Just a quick post for now, I'll take some more pics tomorrow morning under better lighting.
There were a few fit issues but I enjoyed it overall, a real pleasure to build but a royal pain the but in regards to quality info, while there is plenty out there most of what I found was all over the place, and almost all B&W or wrong angle, but I'm well armed of I go again on a string bag.
NIce job, it came out great.
I'll wait for your outdoor photos to add it to the front page.
Well final showing for this behemoth, Overall I'm happy with the way it turned out. Weathering? dont know. While I weathered the cockpit well I dont know what I what if any I'll do on the outside as most of pics of seen show almost no external weathering and this kit is big enough that she already has enough shadows etc giving depth.
Some of the pics are a bit grainy, I dont think i had my camera on optimal setting and couldnt find the mount connection for my tripod, but overall I think you get the picture (pun intended)
Konigwolf,
I like what you've done with the string bag. For a 1/32 kit it looks like it folds up into a tidy package. Relatively speaking that is.
