[Tophe]

Today I have ordered 2 copies of the (very cheap) Zvezda Bf-109F 1/144 kit. Here is my project:

Receiving is scheduled for May 21st, so: not immediately...

Is that a deliberate typo in the title?

[Tophe]

It is just a smile. Probably I am not at all the inventor of it, probably in the RAF/USAAF slang of the early 1940s.

That's a neat one Tophe. And I am partial to YZ's lol. Looks like a lawn dart as well !

[Tophe]

Thanks!

And I am partial to YZ's lol

Uh? Does YZ has a meaning (outside of my delirious brain)? Z was zwilling, and Y was the shape of rear swept wings + fuselage.
Google tells me the Yamaha YZ is a famous motorcycle family I did not know:

Might be a reference to YYZ, Toronto Airport's code and a song by Rush?

[Tophe]

Thanks, I did not know that:

The kits arrived sooner than expected:

First drops of glue.

The parts shape will require putty then paint, for what was the wing/fuselage junction, and machine gun hidding. This will be less simple than I thought. And a single seater becomes possible. I will see.
EDIT: As my wife dicarded the white spirit ("bad smell !"), I ordered a Tamiya XF-23 acrylic paint, replacing my usual Humbrol Matt 65 (Light blue).
