My friend that is the hard part. Not rushing through to get to the point they are all in one piece.

My friends I come before you with yet another boring, detail oriented, rehash the same crap type of update. As of this update, all of the interior sections are ready for installation into the fuselage with the exception of oxygen bottles in the cockpit, the hoses and ropes for the cat walk in the bomb bay, and the guns. This does not include the top or belly turret. It also signals the point where all of the interior components including the little bits and pieces that attach to the interior of the fuselage are complete, with the exception of the ropes for the cat walk in the bomb bay, and the guns. Pictures.           To avoid the issues with handling this too much and breaking off these parts now, the interior will be installed into the fuse once the hoses in the bomb bay are in place. At that point I can attach the smaller parts to the interior of the fuselage and move on. Now also a decision. A few know this but here it is. This build was intended to be a detailed build and nothing more. As of this update that has changed a bit. In chatting with the editor of the same magazine the 109 is in, he showed interest in this one as well. I am going to attempt to submit this one as well. To that end once I get to the decal stage this build will go dark and I will reveal the finished build 1) If the article does not make the magazine, or 2) It does and the magazine issue has been made public. This is out of respect for the magazine. So with that now out in the open, next up is to install the interior. I have applied some paint to the fuselage exterior (no pictures) and the wings and stabilizers are ready for filling and sanding (no pictures). Thank you for sticking around this long winded update. Hope I did not bore you too much. All comments, critiques, and criticism are greatly encouraged. Joe |

Great news from the editor, I hope it all works out for you.

Coming along nicely Joe! Always amazes me to see how much of the space in a bomber like this WASN'T devoted to the actual carrying of the bombs. Should make for a great article as well once you get it all together, congrats! |

Well a big day at the bench. The Fuselage is closed up. Still need to fill and sand some but it is closed. I am going to let it dry overnight and then I can proceed tomorrow. i still need to add the nose glass and a few other bits of clear. The interior as we had seen it.    And now as she sits.   Not a bad fit by any means but still has a seam bead and a couple of trouble spots. Overall not to bad at all. After dealing with the seam it will be on to the wings and getting them attached. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Well my friends the end is coming closer. The seams are cleaned up. They are resprayed the base colors. The De Icing boots are painted. Overspray has been cleaned up. (I think) Some pictures prior to a gloss coat and then decals.     I do believe there will be one more update before this goes dark. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |
