Ed Spark Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hello Bucksboy, You'll see from recent posts that I'm keen to lay hands on just what you have untouched and still in its box. If you think you might not get around to building it I'd be interested to take it off your hands. Cheers Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham R Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi Paul, been without internet for a month but back now. 109 is looking really good. Got a bit behind with mine as I have been building a set of F5j glider wings for the beginning of the season. Well don for keeping this thread going.

Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Managed to get the leading edge done and also some nice dirty smoke from the exhausts back along the sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glynn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 All I can say is Wow Paul, That looks stunning, I missed out on the kits, so if the dark lord Wills decides to make more I will be first in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, Sorry to hear about going downhill, try slope soaring on a better hill. if you have an aversion for gliders think that therapy may be available. It really will be quite painless.

Glynn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Didn't want to correct you Paul, I just thought it was due to you looking up high in the sky trying to spot that glider, and not looking at the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just had a very sad thought... this will be the last of the Build logs for Richards designs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That’s unless he changes his mind and brings out the Heinkel which would be very nice Richard. Paul, your 109 is really looking superb. How did you make the airscoops etc. When you retract the undercarriage do the fairings come up close to the wing surface? Mine don’t.

Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Graham Will take a few more pictures of the u/c later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Graham. the air scoops are made by making a profile from wood and a die from some scrap ply. put a piece of plastic sheet over the die , hold in place with paper clamps, warm up the plastic to soft with a hot air paint stripping gun then push gently through. I couldn't find where I put the 109's profile and die so here's the one I used on my spitfire. And a close up of the 109's Edited By Paul Johnson 4 on 16/01/2019 16:49:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 U/C Some pictures of it, the door doesn't fit tight against the wing but it looks ok. As you are aware because of the leg angles and the large wheel it's all a tight fit. I didn't want to excavate unnecessarily into the wing if I didn't have to. I have respect for the original designers in the problems of shoe horning all that kit into a small space. I need to paint the doors too as there not quiet right in colour compared to the wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thank you Brian, coming from you that's a real complement. As some of you are aware It is the third kit I have built and all the help and tips have been appreciated. Especially from the 'BOSS' himself.... well actually it was Graham, Sweep was a little temperamental, well actually quiet rude.... unless I had MOAMS!

Ed Spark Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Evening Gents, A couple of things ( a thank you and a request): 1) It is barely a month ago that I asked for help in getting one of RM's Me109 kits - all based on the magnificent build log and appreciation that the aircraft is one of the flying icons. Today I collected my Me109 kit - so hearty thanks to all involved in enabling this 2) Although I'll aspire to building as lovely a model as PJ has produced I will be wanting to access the build log a lot.to help me with trying to do that. So, does the build log stay available online forever (more or less) and if not is there any convenient way to download it (one screen at a time works but is painful). This may be a no-brainer to many, if so can someone tell me the trick ? Thank you all Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 It will stay as long as I don't delete any photo's which I have no intention of Any questions that the log doesn't cover always ask..
