Messerschmitt Me 209 V1 (Special Hobby 1/72)
« on: February 05, 2018, 03:48:30 PM »
I've bought that kit two days ago, during the expo of "les Fêlés du modélisme" at Roselies (Belgium).
It's a short run but of excellent quality.
Work started by a wash of all the parts and the canopy put in a bath of Klir.
Then I removed all the unneeded parts from the sprue and prepaired the ones that will be used.
Exhausts are glued on the half fuselages; a hole is made in the engine cover to permit the placement of the propellers support; the parts that will receive the wheel legs are also glued and I've also put some elements in Evergreen to obtain a good alignment when I will glue the half fuselages together...

A wonderful subject! This was really a spectacular way of making a big V-12 fly with the smallest airframe they could build.

Some progress: Interior of the cockpit painted in light gray (Gunze H338); instrument panel in gray H324. I will not use the decals for the instruments because it's just like my paint: black dots... So I preferred to use paint...
Wheel bays are RLM02 (Gunze H70). I have also airbrushed Vallejo black primer for metal paints on some parts
