Title: Messerschmitt Me 209 V1 (Special Hobby 1/72)
Post by: draken35 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

I have continued to mask the Me209 than I've airbrushed Tamiya XF-8 Flat Blue.
...Well, result is better than expected!
Now I will have to airbrush gloss varnish but I'm really happy with the actual result

Pébéo gloss varnish airbrushed and then decals applied. Code "OO" is for Belgium...
And as you can see, I've made home-made decals of my avatar  :))

Propeller is painted; will also receive gloss varnish soon
