Hi friends,

I have just finished my little green baby after 40 days, during which I also spent time on other projests, as well. The Swastikas and the theater bands are masked and painted. It has been an educating model as I tried some techniques new to me, and I had problems during the construction period, but with goods and bads I finished my baby. Here are the pictures:





















I hope you enjoy it.
Regards.

Nice work Çaðýn, looking great! I admire all them that build AND detail those tiny 1/72 birds....

Looks great! What is that sticking down just behind the left wheel well?

Hi Çaðýn:

Great looking D9. I like it very much. Did you find fit problems ?
Thomas: that little stick is an antenae mast.

A Morane type antenna mast to be more precise...

Tiny?? Wait for a while:} It is looking cool that is out of discussion. Specially thinking the problems he had while building.

Ooops!

Çaðýn, I forgot to say that your Dora looks very nice!

Can you tell us more about that theater band? Looks very unusual...

Jean-luc

Thanks a lot friends, and Jean-Luc, no problem at all

The theater band signifies the JG.4 "Sturmjager" for Defense of the Reich. More information can be found here:

That looks fantastic!! Unbelivable you can make so great models in 1/72. How can I ever post my paintbrushed 1/72 Bf 109 in tank busting campaign now

Thanks on the information on the tail bands. Very usefull info.

Thanks Jesper, for your kind comments, I know your 109 is as good as my 190.

Carlos, sorry, I have just realized that I missed your question. The kit is fine in general but there are some fit problems. As you would expect, the worst problem emerges at the fuselage-wing root joint. Although the problem about the lower piece of the wing is solved well at the aft part, it does not fit well to the forward part of the fuselage. There is not much problem about the upper pieces of the wing meeting the fuselage, just a little dissolved putty does the job. Another fit problem is at the point the windshield and the fusealge meet.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to show you the cockpit:
