Mirko RömerVery nice start of the project! Take care of a propper alignment of the forward fuselage parts. Otherwise this kit is a joy to build - enjoy 🙂

Clifford KeeslerThank you Nathan and Roland. I am going to install my flaps and ailerons, and paint the bird as one piece. I will keep the flaps stuck closed during painting with small pieces of white tack. I have already painted the insides of the flaps, flap wells and aileron recesses RLM 02.

Clifford KeeslerThis airframe is complete also, and ready for primer. Had a long day at the bench, so will try and get pictures soon.

Clifford KeeslerThank you very much Guillaume, James Roland and Patrick. Your kind words mean a lot. I got the decals started this afternoon.

Clifford KeeslerAll decals are on. I dropped it and broke both main gear off. They are now fixed, I added metal pins to the struts where they broke. My computer is being wonky, but will try to get some more pictures up soon. Cheers.

Nathan DempseyOoh that hurts! The decals look nice though 🙂 Good idea on the gear repair too.

Patrick HagelsteinLooking absolutely stunning Clifford! Good call on inserting those pins! The splayed and angled landing gear was a hassle in scale 1:1, let alone in any smaller scale. 😉

Clifford KeeslerThank you Nathan and Patrick. So today I got the wash on and off. Just some minor detail painting and a matt coat and it will be finished.

Clifford KeeslerThank you Patrick, Roland and Nathan. I got the detail painting and Matt coat done today. Just need to do some light weathering, and take the final pictures. I wasn't able to get as much done today as I had hoped. All of my grand kids are doing remote schooling now, so had 4 kids trying to do school work and the baby was sick, so I more or less watched her all day. Got her to sit and watch Frozen for awhile so was able to get done what I got done.

Guillaume BlanchetThe clear coat really has justice to this build. Great work on the camo! It Must have been a lot of work to apply the nose decal.

Slavo HazuchaHello Clifford - great job in big scale! 👍 Not an expert on this era, but I really like the Black/White "nose jobs" on 109's and 190's - good choice & execution! Hope to see a lot more from you in 2021!
