Progress yesterday, however this kit is nowhere near the standard of AZ/KP's 109 F, G & K toolings so it's not going to be as quick a build as I origionaly thought 

The instructions are, shall we say "confusing" in places, and I've still no real idea how they intend the radiator to fit  , so lets just say it's been "Fitted" but will take a lot of psr.

No work on this today as I'm out and about so given the psr it will need I doubt she will make the deadline, but we'll give it a go.

As an aside the weather conditions are not conducive to psr, the flippin stuff was almost drying on the scalpel blade yesterday afternoon

I do like the idea, but would agree with the standard of the model and the instructions. Perhaps look for a build on-line of the kit to help with the awkward parts.

I thought of that and then managed to "get something together" this morning that will pass as reasonable. I am going to look for an on-line build though as I also have the B,C & D in the stash

Your also giving me ideas about the early one oh nines. Possible Baltic states as an option?

I have an airframe

Not as much psr as I thought it would need    Will I finish it ? Doubtful    as I've only really got tomorrow (Weds) and Saturday and the colour scheme whilst not complicated will still take a bit of time.

Still I'll see how far I can get and the build has reminded me that I can make speedier progress as long as I get myself organised. 

[NARSES2]

Some serious masking for the national markings done, and the undersides are painted    Still doubt if I'll get her finished as I've only really got one day left before the UK deadline. If I pretended I was living in Honolulu, possibly ? but I'm an honest sould 

[NARSES2]

Well this is as far as I've got, and I doubt if I'll get much further as I'm out tommorow, but I'll still get her finished in the next week or so.

Would I have finished if I hadn't had such a busy week ? Probably, so I'm quite happy that it's at least shown me that I can make speedier progress than I'd assumed.

It looks good though Chris. It has me tempted to buy copies of the early 109's.

It'll look good on a show table when it's done Chris, and that's the main thing.
