John: Fantastic work there on the mottling! 

PJ: The cockpit looks perfect! 

Mustang: Great job on your cockpit too! 

Frank: Love that! The pre-shading and camo look perfect! I want pretty much the same scheme on my 109- I hope mine looks half as good as yours. 

Looking good frank.

Frank that is coming along nicely, the preshade on the fuselage came out great.

OK. Some progress to report. Been painting the Bf 109E using Mr. Color(?) for the first time. And painting a splinter camouflage for the first time. The topside camo is RLM 70 and RLM 71 and the underside is RLM 65. Still trying to find some RLM 04 for the nose and rudder. Have a look:

Thats the E-7, i have you on the roster.

Welcome aboard Boris. Look forward to seeing that. I've got that in the stash and am useing one of the decal options for my Academy kit. Which version are you doing.

 

Version?  Uhh... I dunno :)   I will probably make it like what's on the box art.  All I've done so far is open it up and order some paint.

Peace-

Boris

That pit is looking nice already Joe. Good work.

I'd like to join this group build.

Thanks Joe, your pit is looking great too.

John: That paint is coming along nicely.

Ernie!! Ernie....Ernie! That pit looks great dude!! WOW!! 

All: Not a whole lot of visual progress but I've been working on this pit since last week. No PE or added details yet in the way of parts but here we are before all of that stuff.

Thanks John and Bish.

That is lovely PJ, first class.

Where's my 'chute, I want to fly it!

The cockpit is done. Time to move on to the engine compartment.

 The gun sight glass will be added once the fuselage is closed

So I’m working on the pit sidewalls and something just didn’t look right. Did a lot of net surfing for the K pit and seems Trumpeter included the G series parts as the K, no surprise here as I well know that companies often goof details. 

Here is the pit with the included parts

After some corrections on both sidewalls. The right side sidewall panel is the wrong shape and was unable to undue the Tamiya glue securing it so I left it as is. Added some scratch built thingies and now looks like the Kurfürst office.

That is a very nice idea for the mottling John, and great result.

Great looking pit there PJ.

John, that is a clever way to do the mottling. Paint is coming along nicely

Got some more painting done on my Me-210

John

Hey great job everybody

The K pit is shaping up.   Still lots more stuff to add but it’s moving along.

Need to make some corrections on the side walls for the K version next.

The 210 is coming on well TJ. Good to hear its one of Itaeri's good kits.

Gamera, coming on nicely.

Cliff: Man do I ever hear you on the leading edges. I'm not looking forward to that on mine either.

TJ: Coming together very nicely so far.

TJ: Nice start! I like the look of her already. 

Started on the Me210. This is one of Italeri better kits.  Good fit so far

All- Thanks for the kind comments on my build. It was a lot of fun and having it in the group build motivated me to work on it quicker than I normally would.

John that tropical scheme came out nice

Well, my Bf-109 is together. Now I have to prime and paint those annoying yellow leading edges... 

Yeah John, that amazing- super quality and incredible to see you done in a month. I might drag myself over the line at the end of the year. 

Frank: Looks good! Looking forward to seeing how the pre-shading comes out.
