You’ve done a great job on that cockpit, and I very much enjoy the belts you’ve built, they look fantastic. I’m especially enamored with the color of them. Very nice looking with the cockpit base color. Great work.

Mustang, Mike and Kenny, Thank you guys and I'm glad you're enjoying the build.

I got a lot done mostly putty and sanding but I have something that looks like a 109 now!
This is after fuselage was closed up and the first wave of putty and sanding done.


I then turned my attention to the gearbay. First I opened up the holes in this piece on both sides.

I then primed everything that was getting painted Tamiya RLM02 with Alcald fine grey primer.

The wings, oil cooler and radiators was added next. The wings had to have a lot of sanding to get the top and bottom to sit flush. Also the radiators have a step that needs to be removed for them to sit right on the wings.



This shows the problem I had with the wings and radiators.


Thanks for looking in!
SKOL!

Excellent work Floki, that's coming along really well!

Skol!

Again a masterwork !



I like you short knife a lot, seems to fit very well in the hand. Have you made it yourself or bought it ?

Also nice really to watch and follow your technics, even as simple thing as adding cement on the seams!

More please!

It's really coming along nicely!

Beautiful seam work all around - particularly at the wing root. What is that you are using to fill the gap itself? I subscribed but I have yet to watch the latest videos. So. If that’s explained in the video, let me know. And thanks in advance.

Stuart, Kari, Mike and Bruce thank you all for the encouragement!
Kari I really like the short blade too it fits better in my hand and I feel like I have more control over it. About 10 years ago my In-laws gave me a Kobalt multi tool set and that small part goes into a bigger handle that I never use with it.

all together it's too large for me but I have sure used the hell out of the blade holder part.

Bruce! Thank you so much I'm using Perfect Plastic Putty, none of the gaps was extremely large so I didn't need to break out the milliput this time.

Aah, many thanks Clint ! Great stuff, now I know what to keep an eye on next time visiting a DYI store !

Progress is lookin' really good Clint. Gonna have to check that video out today.
