Hi all.
I thought Id share my progress on kit 3 since restarting this great hobby of ours. Its the Airfix Me109 in 1/72.And no,,,it isnt a "speed build" .I started it 3 weeks ago and progress was slow while I built the P40 for "SYT". Thanks to Almonkey for sending me a vacuform canopy to replace the blob of clear plastic that Airfix call a part!



My new Badger 150 arrived a couple of days ago and this is my first time using it.I also fitted the canopy before spraying for the first time which seemed rather un natural but will certainly blend in better with the finished job.
I cant believe the difference between the Badger and my other airbrush.Its like going from a paint roller to a fine brush! For the first time all the detail is still there and crytsal clear.Fantastic.Be even better when I get used to spraying with it.

Thanks for looking!

lets try this..

looks like you cut and pasted the Img line from below the photo... I just did copy image address and put it between the img commands.. its a bit different from the image line address under the photo for some reason... see if it works..

Excellent,,thanks Delbert.
The splinter camo hasnt come out very well in the photo.Its actually a lot darker and better defined but the flash has largely wiped this out.

hi nigel! that's a nice model you've got there, the aluminium prop hobs and the yellow nose caught my eye straight away, (but the yellow nosed E series is my fave version of this aircraft)
keep up the good work!

Another nice one Lampie!
I have that kit in 1/48 but I'm waiting on my AB skills to get a little better before I take on the job of building it. Yours looks great.
I'm seriously thinking about shipping my stash (all 5 airplanes) off to you. That should keep you busy building for 3 or 4 days and at least they would get built. :-)
