BF109 F-2 (1/48)

[Chris S]

Thanks Anthony , its no big deal ,just annoying ! A bit of masking tape has took the rest of the decals off ,and a new set has been sourced so it shouldnt be long

That really sucks. At least it sounded like it was an easy removal job.

Was it just the crosses Chris? Or the other decals also?
I know you've already ordered, just as an FYI, I was looking at KitsWorld for some B-17 decals and I noticed they had most if not all of the same markings as the ICM kit.

Keep us posted when the new decals arrive.

Too bad, i really want to see this finished...

 

[schweinhund227]

sux for the decals.... but I can't wait for your new ones to be on...

That plane needs to be finished ! it's such a great Camo...

will be waiting for your next... update !

 

[Chris S]

Jason ,yes it was really only the crosses that lifted ,but I didnt want to chance leaving the other decals on just incase they lifted when I blow some Clear on ....that would be a disaster !!

Flipflop ,Norm ,dont worry fella's ...it will be finished and very soon . Once the decals arrive I will be straight on it ,besides I got a Spit that needs starting soon

Chris.

Hi folks

Sorry about my absence lately ,but I've been very busy with other stuff . I have tried to keep picking away at a few builds tho including the 109 .
Most of the decaling has now been done ...successfully ! ,just a few more little un's to do then a coat of klear to follow .







Now this one is on the move I'll crack on with it and get it done

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

 

[Eastrock]

clean and slick, especially the engine detail looks great, Chris!!!

 

[Chris S]

Thanks ER Now that the decals are on I can crack on and get er done

Chris.

 

[FlipFlop]

I was wondering few days ago about this build. It looks great, and that camo, oh man, it looks sick. Very nice Chris. Keep up the good work.

Cheers!

 

[Jelly]

Terrific results, Chris, congratulations... that´s a beautiful plane!

It's good to see your over the decal problem now Chris

 

[Chris S]

Thanks you very much guys I hope to have most of this cleared up by the weekend ...I got an appointment with a Spitfire and a spraybooth

Chris.

 

[JMac]

Looks good with the new decals Chris.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks Jason

Bit more done ,I do plan to have this wrapped up in the next few days

Ok ,The front cowl fitted along with the engine covers .I also made up & painted the undercarriage ,still a bit to do on them ,they are only plugged in place at the minute . Before fitting those parts I done a panel line wash ,again like the Dauntless I had a go with AK Interactives washes ,this time using the Winter Streaking Grime ,which is a dark grey/brown colour .

Pics.......



Underside done too ....





I forgot to take some close ups ,but you can just see in this pic I added the pipework on the undercarriage legs ,I'll take some pics of them next time .......





Getting there
I think Im gonna stock up on some of these ICM kits before they disappear . ;D ;D

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

 

[Dusky]

I need to get me one of these kits. They are pretty cheap too. I'll just make sure to buy some aftermarket decals.

 

[Chris S]

Oh ,I think I will be doing more of them too ;D Im not put of by the decals ,its possible I was just unlucky and got a bad sheet .

Chris.
