Ians Blitzed Friedrich

[Ian]

Touching up done.
Decisions decisions.
It looks too plain on top, so I want to use some Pro-Modellers wash. Can I get it on, off and matt-cote in 1 hour 20?
I will apply another coat of Klear while I think about it....

I like a challenge. Let's go!

[Ian]

50 mins to go!
I may like a challenge but I am not mad. Panels lines washed top and bottom.



Better start wiping it off now.....

[Jagewa]

Ian, wowsers the tension! My finger nails are suffering... you can do it man.

Cheers
Jim

[Ian]

Your nails are suffering? I've nibbled my arms off!

[Ian]

Photos uploading.
Did I do it?

[Ian]

Well, kind of.


It's together. It's painted. It's decaled. It's even got it's aerial wire. And it's matt.






BUT
- The wash on the uppers just did not want to come off.
- The decals on the starboard side have collapsed again (the center of the green heart ended up on the port side of the canopy).
- The wire just would not glue in place.
- I ruined the canopy by dropping in water.
- Navigation lights not painted.
I am sure there is more but that's all I can think of right now.

On the whole, nowhere near my best Blitz. I guess losing the 3 or 4 hours early on yesterday killed me. I perhaps should have done the 'soft' option and done 12 & 12.
More pics in real light later.

A well-earned reward!

[Old_Tonto]

That's a well built bacon butty - well done missing Ian.

Great 109 too.

[TimJ]

Great looking 109 Ian.

Sorry I missed this Ian. On the road and borrowing a laptop, Great work. Wonderful finish. Looks like you supped well during the siege.

[Ian]

Thanks guys. I'm not convinced it's as good as you are making out. There's a list further up and I don't think I can add to it - let's see what some better photos show.













And there we are!

I'm sorry I missed this one. What a beauty! I couldn't do that good with a months worth of time. Splendid build
