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)...

The extra putty has been well received today!

So putty addition goes on, before sanding:

Nice work on a cool looking project

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?

Tophe · December 31, 2022, 04:12:09 PM

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:

After a new sanding, OK:

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

I have painted the underside:

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

Tophe · January 07, 2023, 11:39:48 AM

then hours later, I painted (started to paint) the side above:

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:
