Fortunatly I ordered one more tube a few days ago, and it should arrive today (if the postman works a December 31st, without strike as this is in France)... :unsure:  :-\

Nice work on a cool looking project  :thumbsup:

BTW is that putty what you use on all your models? If so what is it like to use? Doe's it shrink much over time?

Thanks.

Yes, this is the putty I use on all my models for maybe 5 years. I like it. When covered with final paint, I see no further evolution, but I am not sure I have the same high-quality standards as all modellers here.

Then adding putty again. The canopy's transparency will not be kept, but replaced by black color:  <_<

Quote from: Tophe on December 25, 2022, 01:20:34 AMI imagine this would have become the Ju-109B, sending to garbage the Bayerische Flugzeug Bf-109 and Messerschmitt Me-109 projects
I discover today that there "was" also a Focke-Wulf Fw-109, see: <_<

With superglue needed for resin, the Ju-109B is quickly taking shape, ready for paint:  <_<

(the model should not be seen from this angle: don't look under the skirt of a lady!

yes, a blade of the propeller has fallen down, but not lost somewhere in the dust, I will glue it back soon, even if fragile.

The Ju-189 model is finished! without weapon at all, replacing all the evil Bf-109s in my (crazy) mind: <_<
