Title: Zvezda Bf109F 1/48
Post by: Second Air Force on December 31, 2018, 04:08:25 PM
Sorry to say my model production was almost nil in 2018. Nevertheless, I did start on this Zvezda Freidrich a little while back, and it will be the closing of the old year and my first build of 2019. It's simply a lovely kit to build, and this one will have an open cowling for a change.

Everything is fine, all are healthy. I've been working a lot of extra hours at work that has taken much of my spare time, and Ingrid the Beetle is also gobbling up what would be modeling time. I still check to see what is going on at LLL every day!

Thanks, friends--but don't look at that camouflage very closely! It is undercoat for more paint....

Latest progress on this   s  l  o  w   build. Next up will be some weathering, then installing of the engine. Maybe I'll get it done by winter next year...…..

Here we go with another tiny installment--I've gotten the engine installed, and I'm really impressed with the fit of all the pieces. Zvezda's engineers and mold-makers did a great job on this as all the cowling parts fit perfectly after the engine is fixed.

This is the second Zvezda F I've put together but the first one I didn't install any engine at all (to save for another project). I can't wait to dig into the Eduard F to see which I like best!

It took all of the first quarter of 2019, but here is the finished F. I really enjoy building these Zvezda Messerschmitts and am anticipating trying the Eduard F next. I must say, when I was taking these photos I realized that I only installed the spark plug leads on the right cylinder bank and totally forgot to do the left! Time to "re-finish" this build.

Thanks, Jicehem and everyone on the forum. I'm embarrassed at the slow pace of my model-building this year, but I promise to try to do better!
