LOL the model world needs more 109s... As primarily an armor person AC is new ground for me so I have been incrementally trying to step up my game in this realm...

Thanks all!!

Thanks guys for the props!!!! I am very ADD and post on several sites so I am everywhere...all the time

Going to experiment with some finishing ideas before I try them on this baby, I am excited- I like being out of the "box" and this is a little more out of the box than usual...

This build had takes a sinister turn. DECALS FROM HELL!!!

The kit decals have been horribly brittle and the microscale decal stuff helped slightly- also DO NOT USE IT ON TECHMOD DECALS- it gives them the quality of the old Academy decals (remember those awesome things?). I was able to use a couple of things from Kevin's set- Thanks again Kev. I also acquired an old set of the Hobbydecal rub-ons- mostly a great experience. The balkenkreuzen decals I had were flimsy and I ended up painting with a mask made from those new Tamiya Kabuki sheets. I have learned much from this process. I also think my prep was insufficient in retrospect.

All that is left are the Gruppe III. JG 52 badge and the black 13 (both from the original set...) But here's the update:

Spring parts made for canopy to install next.
