Yes, agreed Shaun. The Gustav has the rocket tubes fitted, and I think I have a near enough match for the JG54 fuselage band. That will delay the dullcote and final assembly of breakables, but not by much. If I can get the Zwilling decalled today then perhaps both may be finished by this weekend as I was hoping.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

A few pictures of the now completed Bf109G-6. Most of the pics I took were pretty bad, so these will have to do till I can do better (I think my camera is on the way out :p)

Nice! It looks thoroughly battle weary!

A great finish GMG and it certainly looks as if it has gone a few rounds with the Mighty Eighth!

Thanks folks! It turned out okay. I have another one in the stash but am in no way interested in another one right now. Too many other kits on the boil now as it is...
