    This is not the final product but here is where I'm at on the cockpit. Still a ways to go. Most of it won't be visible once it's in.







    I always like to make the cockpit floor very dirty and worn. With the pilot and mechanics jumping in and out under field conditions it just had to be a mess down there. The other parts of the pit won't be so dirty and worn.

    Be sure to check out the fantastic work from Kimura and Whiteladder. Stunning models from both!

    A slight fault with the 109 cockpit JG2,as its a desert trop you missed out the little grains of sand often found in on the cockpit floor,and often strands of palm leaf could be seen...Shame on you!

    Great work everyone.

    Nice to see you back JG2. Love the 109 - great job. Buglord, the Dauntless is another masterpiece. Looking forward ot the website release.

    Well, my 1/48 Eduard Bf-110 is back on the workbench after I took a hiatus since April to finish a kitchen reno. Needless to say modelling is more fun.

    The cockpit is finished and the fuselage halves glued together. The fit was excellent and just little sanding will be needed on the fuselage joints. No putty so far!



    Spent some time on the wheel wells. Some references I saw had bare metal panels as well as RLM 02 so that's how I painted them. I drilled out the holes in the back of the nacelles and added rivets using a scribing tool. I debated whether to cut out the sidewalls of the recessed area as these appeared to be uncovered with the spars exposed but talked myself out of it.


    Currently working on the guns. I added the stretched sprue tubing as best I could based on photos and other references. So far only two of the MG 17's are installed so I could finish the lower tubing. More pics to come from the finished gun bay when I get there.


    More later.

    Great work as always chaps!

    Now then, I find myself strangely drawn to an Airfix Short Stirling kit - I've read reviews on how dated it is etc, but anyone here had experience of the beast? This is all down the road thinking - got my Russkie armour to dig out and finish first.
