BF-109 G-2 TROP

You’re making good progress on this one. Another step forward completed.

Hey Kenny,

Not sure you want to do anything about this but... Eduard makes a curious choice in terminating the wing bottom at the rear fuselage connection in a shallow v-shape. There is no v-shape panel line on the 109. I got rid of mine but I don't think it's a huge deal either way.

Carlos, thank you sir! It felt good to fix that glitch, too.

John, thank you, as well! I didn’t know that, and I’ll fill it and sand it out. I’m sanding other fills still, so really, what’s one more LOL?

I didn't know about the V in the bottom of the wing but going back on page I saw what you're talking about John. Thanks for the heads up. Man.............you guys are really making me wanna tackle another aircraft build. I've got two autos to go that I really want to build and then I may clear the bench for one.

Great progress so far Kenny!

Go for it!

Also is this what you mean, John?

Yes, that is what I was referring to Bruce. You can see how I removed the "v" glue joint and extended the longitudinal (front to back) panel line.



Filling panel lines on flat surfaces are a bit of pain... it's hard to achieve a level surface sometimes.

Nice! Thanks so much, John!! Apologies for being so dense. Nice schematic. I just... apologies, I was having trouble visualizing....

[jkim]

No problem, Bruce... sometimes we describe what we see in our head without realizing that others may not have that visual image handy. I had the same difficulty visualizing the cross brace in your Mustang build!

YUP. I’m going to be trying this out for myself in the next day or two. I’ll me focusing most of my efforts on the decals for the Emil, because I find that relaxing, but I’ll make time for this too. I need more filling and sanding experience/practice anyway.
