Finished Academy 1/72 FW 109-D9

Hi Everyone,

Just finished this one. Mostly OOB, but I did add pre-coloured photo-etch belts, brass tubing for the gun barrels on the wings, and scratch built the fuel hose. I also sprayed the band on the fuselage as the decals would just not settle. This was a really enjoyable build, still not a show stopper, but improving. Please all comments are welcome especially which area’s I can improve on.

Next build will be a BF 109F 1/48 Airfix

Cheers Leo

Beautifull job on one of my favourite fighters. Roll on the ‘F’

Nicely done Leo! Thanks for the pics. [tup]

Thanks for the comments guys. I was hoping to get some critisism, maybe I did’nt add enough variety with the pictures.

Looks good, Leo, but a few things popped out at me. The spiral on the spinner looks to be a shade off center, not a big deal really (and they can be a real dog to apply anyway). A bit more obvious was the angle of the wheels/tires. My understanding is that they should be angled perpendicular to the ground on the dora (and probably not quite as glossy). Hey, you asked. [swg]

thanks ruddratt,

that’s the stuff, keep it coming.

Cheers Leo
