Me 109 .....airfix starter kit
and finished....was done for 'starter kit GB' on another forum.......only allowed to use what was in the box......no primer or filler, no airbrush, etc....build it as if you were 10 years old again
will admit to a couple of tiny cheats
the moulding for the guns and pitot tubes were awful.....broke when i tried to take them off the sprue......so i stretched some of the sprue to make some new ones...........and an ariel wire too
i also used some tiny drops of ca to attach the wire and the canopy........no way was the canopy going to fit so i did it in the open position
learnt a few things from this ........the paint isnt that bad....it needs primer really...but the pots it comes in are dreadful....get it everywhere when you open or close one.........the brush isnt fit for purpose!......turning into a sort of flat helped a lot.....and im so glad i dont have to use tube glue any more
now wheres me airbrush?

Great result Paul, I like the canopy open when 'on the ground', makes a nicer display I think.

Great work, Paul. I'm surprised how well the brush-on paint job came out.
