Radleigh Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I found this in my parents loft the other day and I've been wanting to do a WW2 fighter, But I'd forgot I had this.. When I opened the somewhat battered box I found it had kind of been started, When I remembered I started to glue parts (cockpit & engine) together.. Not wanting to leave it alone, and also want to do my best, This is what i've been up to today..

Dr.Jellyfingers Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Lovely work, nice and precise Si.
AirfixAndy Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Take it this is the Airfix 109 , Ive just finished one and it was a fun build ....watch out for the wonky undercarriage !! Great start on the engine , nice detail work Andy
Radleigh Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks chaps, Been wanting to do a 24th scale model for a while... More updates tomorrow
Radleigh Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Sorry for the late reply, had other stuff to do. Done a bit more on this, decided to have a break away from the Porsche and Mil for a while. I thought i'd have a go at making the supercharger, re-shape the engine block, and make all the gubbins behind the engine block. Still got alot of cleaning up to do. (Note; the supercharger is held on by white-tac.) I've also put the gun barrel tunnel in through the block, but this is just resting, as I need to source a gun for it first. Please comment and criticize as I'm working from small pictures, so it's all pretty much guess work! Thanks, Radleigh MB9T8103 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr MB9T8099 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr MB9T8097 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr MB9T8093 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr MB9T8094 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr MB9T8096 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr
tank152 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Taking shape nicely, it'll look good painted up.
Radleigh Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Cheers, Just been out and bought some brass square, ali tube, a Guitar string. Will have a go later at making exhausts.. Pics later with what I come up with

Dr.Jellyfingers Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 That motor is looking excellent. Si.
Radleigh Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks Si, I never got onto the exhausts something else cropped up. I'll be having a go tomorrow.

Radleigh Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 Done a bit more today and corrected the rear of the engine block. Needs tidying up, but this is where I got. MB9T8175 by Rainbow 1984, on Flickr
