Achtung! A Slightly Smaller Build - A RAF Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 Part 2
After a brief interlude (okay a month), due to GWR Loco's - I finally resumed work on the Bf 109...
Before I masked up the underside, I painted the wheel wells and radiators.
I masked up the underside and parts of the cockpit canopy - which had I pre-painted prior to fitting and masking up (next three photo's show that sequence)
Once the topside of the fuselage had been given a few coats of BS Dark Earth and allowed to dry. I used the blu-tak & masking tape (or MORPH) method to layout the camouflage.
Once painted the masking was removed and too my surprise it had worked very well, with only a small amount of touching up needed.
Touching up done and the guns & exhausts added.
Today I busied myself painting and assembling the undercarriage, along with a few more parts. However to my dismay I discovered a short on the sprue and a missing part, so I've got to scratch build a Pitot tube assembly.
That's all for now
