1/48 Airfix Messerschmitt Bf109E build

Arrrgghhh, Bloody post office

The last kit I ordered was sent tracked, and the PO emailed me to say they would deliver it later that day. 3 days later I went to the sorting office to find out where it was and after half hour searching they found it. So I asked how I can get my money back and they gave me a Customer service number to ring. When I called they said that they would send me a compensation form, but I'm guessing they sent it Royal Mail as it's been 3 months now and it still hasn't arrived.

I'm guessing the Royal Mail doesn't give royal treatment to its parcels? Sorry to hear about your shipping woes.

Well I’ve nailed the final bit on to me Bf109 and I’d like to say how much I’ve enjoyed both the build, my first for many years, and being able to share the experience with the community here at ISM. The building of this kit has taken longer than I expected but this was mainly due to waiting for major items of equipment such as my airbrush and compressor, now I’ve got them I won’t have to wait next time!

The build has contained a number of ‘firsts’ for me, scribing, weathering, dry brushing, using an airbrush, using acrylic paints (previously I used Humbrol enamels and a hairy stick), using primer, pre-shading, micro-set & sol (at least the Vallejo equivalent), my first 1/48 scale (only 1/72 before), aftermarket decals, extra thin and I’m sure I’ve missed other ‘firsts’ but I hope you get my drift, its been a learning curve and I’ve enjoyed pretty much every minute of it.

Enough waffle here’s a teaser reveal photo…
