Scalemates Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group Build 2020

Jos Jansen
Frickin awesome...this will be absolutely my favorite livery for a 109 🙂👍 I am in mate!

Erik Leijdens
Nice! The one that transported a US officer to call for help!

Michael Phillips
Welcome back David! Glad to see you back here and doing a plane! 🙂

How ya been man?

David Barclay
Thanks Michael! Been good! Same ole' ya know lol. I just hope I can finish this one. I'll give it a good try!

Bill Halliwell
G'day David, I reckon the pilot of this stunning looking aircraft had the problem of 'friendly fire' solved!
It will be fantastic to see the finished model. Cheers, raafbloke

Sergej I
Didn't know this existed! Following with interest!! 👍

Gary Kitchen
I'm onboard too for this. I'm fascinated by the whole captured wings/ alternate markings aspect. Watching with interest 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Following. A dangerous thing to fly a captured aircraft.

David Barclay
Sorry folks! I just realized I grabbed the wrong boxing for the captured bird!!!! It's a Late G-6 so the Tamiya doesn't have the correct canopy! So I'll just do the box art bird! Doh!!! Or if no one has any objections to me pressing on correct canopy or not..... Then I'll keep on truckin'!

Sergej I
My advice (and it includes a stash increase 👍) would be: you buy an additional Eduard G6 profi. These have more canopies than needed, you can build the capture version and still enough options to build the Eduard one fully...

David Barclay
Now there is an idea Sergej! Except no stash increase required! I already have a Eduard G6 Late in the stash.... Hopefully the canopy will fit the Tamiya! If so... This works well! The late G6 I was wanting to build from the Eduard kit uses the canopy that will remain if I steal one from the kit! Fingers crossed! Thanks for the help!

David Barclay
Finally something to post up after a few days of progress...... Nothing spectacular but, Not bad for my 1st plane in 3 years???

Stefan Schacht
nice start, count me in.

Sergej I
Nothing lost in these three years David, cockpit looks good, fuel can flow! 👍

Björn Svedberg
I like those markings! 👍 Following. 🙂

David Barclay
Thanks folks!

Patrick Hagelstein
Yep! That cockpit really looks nice! 👍 Cool to see Tamiya's engineering in the way the front fuselage is designed to fit. And did Eduard's Erla canopy fit?

David Barclay
Thanks Patrick! Haven't tried the canopy yet.... Waiting to get the fuselage buttoned up 1st.... Hopefully!

Michael Phillips
Still got the touch with aircraft I see! This is looking fantastic David.

David Barclay
Thanks Michael!

Kees Kleijwegt
Front seat please, curious how the kit wil be.
Probably it wil fall together in typical Big T fashion 🙂

Christian Lehmann
👍

Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice. There sure a lot of BF-109's popping up.

David Barclay
Thanks Clifford! Yes there are! LOL

David Barclay
Hi All! Well the cockpit is pressing along.... Weird that Instrument panel doesn't get sorted out for another few steps..... Thanks for looking!

Guillaume Blanchet
Nice highlights on the interior

Patrick Hagelstein
Indeed! Nice to see how you put some character in an otherwise monochromatic cockpit. Well done! 👍

Christian Kohl
Nice, David. Looking good so far. Great work🙂

Erik Leijdens
Fabulous cockpit 👍

Clifford Keesler
Agree, a beautiful job on the cockpit.

David Barclay
Thanks Folks! So pluggin' along here. The engine is pretty neat!

Jos Jansen
Wow...real nice David, a joy to watch mate!

Björn Svedberg
Really nice engine! 👍 How do you like the kit so far? It's the one with the magnets holding the cowling in place, right?

David Barclay
Thanks Jos & Bjorn! Yea it is the new boxing w the magnets. They seem to work OK and the fit is real good....

Adam Gudynowski
Following 👍

Guillaume Blanchet
