Just been through your thread Glenn and WOW, impressive and what a great subject. Superb modelling my friend.

Have you thought of upping your skills to the next level?

 

[Wayne Little]

looks real nice Glenn, the decals certainly bring it to life!

fan-bloody-tastic Glenn

great stuff Glenn, it's really coming to life now.

 

[Crimea_River]

Your best yet I think Glenn. Marvelous job my man!

 

[Wurger]

Excellent Glenn.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Stupendous work Glenn! I really like the way you have the different shades on the engine cowl panels. Makes it look a lot more realistic. Wish I had taken the time to do that on mine.

 

[Gnomey]

Looking good Glenn!

You guys are starting to embarrass me now! It just comes down to taking the time to do carful masking.

Still slowly working on the decals. Have a lot of other stuff going on right now so it seems I can only sneak in ten minutes at a time which equals one or two decals, so like I said, slow going.

.......Have you thought of upping your skills to the next level?

I've been struggling with that question for some time now Vic. I feel I'm real good at the finishing aspect, but am still basically an out of the box builder. I've messed about with improving some stuff with some minor scratch building, but nowhere near in the same league as you guys in the expert category. I'd welcome feedback from you guys.

 

[Wayne Little]

certainly looks like a step up would be a fair call considering what you have produced here Glenn....it's not always about lots of extra's mate plenty of top notch stuff is done mostly out of the box....

 

[ozhawk40]

You've got the skills Glenn - a great build.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

It would be great if you decided to come up a notch Glenn but when you weigh it all up, it's got to be something you feel comfortable with.

yeah move up Glenn, then you wont embaress me and my builds so much !!!!!!!!

 

[T Bolt]

I think you guys convinced me to make the move, so I'll switch for the Foreign Service GB.

I got quite a bit done last night:
All the main decals complete. Still need to put on the stencils.
I drilled out the holes in the canopy frame cross brace and thinned it down some. It was way too plane looking and thick.
Assembled the prop. Still needs a shot of Dull Cote.
Painted the flaps and landing gear leg covers.

 

[Crimea_River]

A real stunner Glenn!

brilliant Wayne.......... oops i mean Glenn

How could you mistake that model for one of Waynes? It's not a 109.

 

[rochie]

you sure you didnt send it to him and have just got it back..........?

 

[Airframes]

It's a '109 in disguise!
Great work there Glenn, looks tops mate!
