The stash, nothing added to a Profi Pack, just Montex masks and decals. I'll be painting all the markings but the shield.

Plenty of extra canopies in Eduard models makes protecting of cockpit easy. The correct canopy will be painted separately.

Signs painted on using Montex masks, 8 and shields are decals. Swastika aswel, painting would be too difficiult for my taste.

Washing started on left wing. Chose the dark-green-gray wash to give that little green hue to a gray plane...

Front panel washed, rear in an hour or so. Going through a year's family pack of cotton buds like a boss 8-)

Great looking cockpit! 👍. Where have I seen that before..., I have a strange feeling of déja vu..😉 Nice to see another Gustav.

Thanks 👍!

Erik Leijdens
Great work! Paint job looks splendid 👍

Sergej I
Thank you Erik. I have a confession to make. I did not prime and apparently the model was a bit on the greasy side, so I could not tape straight lines on wings, had to freehand them. Oh well, will do better next time.

Jos Jansen
Your first 109? ...well Sir, you did an awesome job!

Trying to get ahead of Roland 🙂
Wash done, next is matt, grime/grease/smoke, matt, then final assembly... a lot of work for one last day hehe...
Considering I managed to throw the damn plane on the ground today and rework on antennas and rear-wheel. Luckily Eduard keeps so much spares it's easy to scavange.
Oh yes, I also managed to grip the front end with a glove soaked in MLT. So additional gray and yellow painting and lacquering... 2020 end of year is loong overdue :/

Finished! Crude photos just to prove my deadline 🙂, will make better ones when day. I enjoyed the Gustav, for sure not my last 109-er.
