Revell Me109G-10

[rv1963]

Some times I get tired of just doing cars so here we go, the very very old Revell kit, not a great kit very soft details so I will change stuff. All the grey items in the pics are stock any other color has been modified. I was not crazy about the one piece seat so I modified it, I also thought the entire cockpit was sitting a little to low and shallow so I added just a little to the seat back to to drop it down and add some depth. I am in the process of making the pedals, next I will work on the inside of the fuselage halves and add some details. All comments welcome.

I do love me a good Luftwaffe build and the 109 is such a great subject that's pretty much well known amongst aircraft modelers. I'll be pulling up a chair for this one.

Time for an update finished all the detail mods in the cockpit next a little super glue clean up than painting. Also trying out the new Macro zoom lens on the camera. All comments welcome.

This is looking good so far Rob. There's a good number of parts to that interior that I don't remember seeing on typical Revell kits before. 

Is this the kit that you have?

[rv1963]

I think it's the same kit, the one you show is reboxed mine is the older version I think. Any part you see in my pics that is grey is stock any other color I added or modified.

You're at a point now to where it's not too late to consider using Quinta Studios 3D decals for the instrument panel. Quinta doesn't offer a set for the Revell kit but they do for the Eduard, Tamiya and Zvezda kits and they might be able to fit that instrument panel area that you've got there.

Thanks for the idea Joe, this kit is not worth the expense or the trouble to find out if those 3D decals fit, I rather enjoy trying to get the kit to the next level the old school way. Those decals are really awesome though.

No problem at all Rob and I totally get it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work on this one.
