Halinski 109E-7: my first halinski kit

[flying rasta]

That is so true roman models..with this kit i keep having to say "slow down laddie..its not running anywhere..do i listen???..naaaah..

wondering where Peter Taft is..

speaking about "hard to put this model down"...i decided to do just the seat..

**struggling to put knife down**

so i glued in the cockpit flooring..and added some tiny bits..i really like this kit..need to go to TruValue (Jamaicas Home Depo..) and scout for a magnifying glass. Has anybody realize that they prob spent more on tools and things than they do on the card models?

Here are some pics...any hints and advice appreciated..

cheers and happy new year..

Imagine me now looking at this seat...to build or not to build..damn you seat!!!...diiiie!!..yeah. so i grew a pair and tackle the tiny stuff..and wallah!..mini seat!.

the one thing i really appreciate about this kit is that it help me appreciate some details about the me 109 cockpit i never knew about before..

well here is a few pics of the seat..

Looks very good. After doing a Halinski cockpit, I am always sad to cover it up. A scanned 1/16th standalone of the cockpit to go with the model would be ideal, I think.
Some people don't like Halinski because they don't do oddball subjects, but I like what they choose. Keep up the good work!

thanks alfadoc it so true about the cockpit area being covered up ..right now i am hesitant about doing the cockpit sides..i fear not doing justice to this kit..but it is fun and amazing just seeing it all come together..loving the XP-72 build!...is that kit available anytime soon?
