Ed,
Sorry, can't afford to share rain at this time...we have a real drought here and its not expected to go away anytime soon. :huh: In a typical year I maybe will need to mow the lawn once or twice in June but this year I have already mowed it five times. This has been the driest spring/summer I have experienced here.
But no real complaints though, it could be worse...just look at what Pakistan is going through right now.
One last bit of camouflage that still needs to be sprayed on the 109 is the RLM 76 on the lower part of the rudder, this will be done the same way I did when I painted on the green mottling on the tail. Once the rudder is painted I can go ahead and spray on Future in preparation for decaling.

Welp, the Revell Bf 109 did not make the deadline but work on it still continues.
I finished painting the rudder camouflage by painting on the RLM 76 near the bottom.
I masked off part of the flaps and painted on a narrow strip of RLM 02. When 109's were painted at the factories the flaps were in the 'up' position and when the flaps were lowered they exposed a narrow strip on them that did not receive the camouflage paint, this could either be RLM 02 or natural metal and I chose to paint this RLM 02 on my model.

Always learn something new!
Thanks once again!
Not a very exciting update on the Erla 109 this time.
Some detail work with oil paints was done on the landing gear legs and wheels...next update should show the decals on the model.
I fired up the time machine and went back in time to get some pictures of the Me 262 ''white 1'' at the airfield, watch this thread later today.ldguy
