another oldie, Me 109

[kentyler]

my paint smudged a little because i painted the wells after rather than before assembly
we'll just call that "weathering"

Yeah, this little model was a pioneer for many more to come.

Thanks for sharing, Ken!

[kentyler]

there's always at least one

the box spar in the wing was in the wrong position

so the wing got glued a quarter inch behind where it should be

not going to try and correct that... just bull on through

[kentyler]

correcting for errors

fortunately a few extra pieces that could be robbed for patches

and then another error, lost one of the engine buldges

some days....

gotta fly, gotta fly

some of the little add on parts are at the limits of what my fingers can handle

thin bamboo added to give the props a little shape

my version of the "semi-retractable" tail wheel

I think you're doing a good job Ken. I admire someone who owns up to their mistakes. It helps me be aware of pitfalls if I have that model and if not I always try to learn by others mistakes. Certainly by my own.

[kentyler]

these exhausts are about as small as my fingers will handle

[kentyler]

the love you give
