21st Cent. 109 finished

Well, I decided to jump on the band wagon and try these kits. I took some work but it was a nice, fun kit for the money. It did require alot of seam work, filling of sinkholes and screw holes. I realize there was a seam line along the top and bottom fuselage, but in the heat of the seam battle, they got cleaned up and I never rescribed. I noticed this after the finish coat but decided on a little inaccuracy over marring the finish. It’s OOB with the tri color camo scheme offered in the kit. Comments and crit welcomed…

so is that the 21st Century 109-F or the 109-G model?

I have both offerings and the A6M2 Type 21 kit as well.

Nice, clean build Andy! How did you do the chipped paint on the wing root? I really like how it turned out.

5

Great job Andy. The pilot turned out real nice too.

Chipping was done with a heavy application of silver pencil.

Thanks for the comments guys…

Very nice work indeed. We dont get those 21st Cent kits here in blighty. Damn shame as they come out great.

P.s You only have to rescribe the panel line on the underside. 5 min fix [;)]

That looks awesome! You did a great job on that.

Aren’t they fun kits.

Excellent work wulf, I like the camo and weathering. How did you paint the yellow on the spinner?

13

Wow, Andy! Another beauty! The pilot looks real…superbly done.

14

Overall, very nice. I like the paint job and mild weathering/chipping as well as the pilot. The panel lines seem a little strong.

They sure are. Walmart does not have a huge selection, but I have been lucky enough to pick up several of 21st Cent. kits. There are two versions of the 109, but they do not show it on the box. I wonder if they will be releasing some new kits.

well you have the ME-109F2/F4 and the ME-109G14. You can always check their website to see if there are any new kits upcoming. I’m really hoping for a 1/32 scale F-86.

Luckily, the spinner had a recessed line at the color break. I used a thin strip of tape and followed the line around. It took time to get it exact and for it to burnish down.
