My first plane :) !

Post by bobbydrake »

Hello,
This is my first airplane ive made! Thanks to Paul and his build videos on youtube! It is an Airfix 1/48 Me-109e4. Im gonna try to post some pictures...the last time i tried this I some how lost the post and had to start from scratch lol I have never really posted to a forum much. Im pleased with the results i got and used/learnt everything ffrom your utube chanel and online. Im thinking of doing a group build soon! Some feed back and some tips would be well used! Not to sure how the pics will look itnsaid i had to make them smaller.
Thanks for looking,
BobbyDrake

Jezus flippin' Chist. Talking about having patience... Can you spare some? I just started my first two models in a long time and I'm stuck because I really need the airbrush before I can move on with them. I'm pulling my bloody hair out because of it. Need to buy the airbrush soon before I have no hair left... :wall:

Wow - first plane? I'm on my 11th (happens to be this kit too, although I'm doing the Condor version) and I'm nowhere near as good...

Keep up the good work!

Nicely done!

Pauls videos are what got me back into modelling and my first plane was a build along 109. I wish he'd done a video for the kit I'm building now!

Very very very nice result chap. That's a great looking 109. You can't beat a yellow-nosed Emil.
