Thankyou Scott Much appreciated ! There are a few more on the way soon

Thanks Nige the eduard 109s are really nice to build, highly recommended !

Thanks Nate glad you liked it

Thank you kindly!

Thankyou again Carlos ! I'm very happy you liked the production !

Lautoka63 ! Thankyou ! Is it too warm in the summer to paint ?

@@lpjmodels I'm a glider pilot and sailor: summer is for other things!

Many thanks !

Many thanks YeGrayHound !

Thanks _ mfc ! You'll always get dislikes and I have learnt to not let it bother me now . Thanks for the kind words ! James

Many thanks! I'm very stoked you like it !

Julian , Many thanks ! People dont understand the time and effort that goes into it so thankyou for recognising that !

Cheers Mate !

The 109 is such a good looking aircraft, and eduard imo make the best, not as easy to build as tamiya but not far off. Either wingsy or dora have made some early 109s lately and they look very nice

Thankyou Robert ! I'm really pleased you liked it, putting your work out like this is daunting and its comments like this that make me keep wanting to add more videos

Michel thankyou very much. I really enjoy using mission models paint they are one of the best !

Thanks Greg ! It's a nice looking scheme definitely nice to make a change from the usual camouflage!

Thanks Michel ! There are more on the way, it's a shame I dont have time to put them out more regularly

lpj models i am already looking forward to them! Usually I get tired or bored by modeling videos except from a couple of users on KZfaq, but your work truly keeps me entertained 😎 thanks!

Thanks man ! I usually get bad comments about my old music , makes a nice change 😃

Thankyou ! Eduard kits are always great fun to build !

Thanks Was Rio, hopfully soon although I have a bit of a list at the moment 😀

Many thanks !

Thanks a lot MrBluemarine007 !

Thanks a lot !

Thankyou I'm glad you liked the video ! I'm still in my first year of making model vids and still have a great deal to learn !

@@lpjmodels ✈👌👌🇨🇱

Many thanks !

Your welcome , thank you !

Thanks Chris !

Thankyou !

Thank you Carlos !

Thank you Carlos !

Thanks a lot mate !

Thanks Darryl !

Many thanks !

Many thanks John! The guitars are my Mate Doug and I . Good fun but ultimately it wasnt a popular music choice for the vids.

Thankyou ! I only used a camp cotton bud when the wash had dried too much. Otherwise dry !

Jukka thankyou and well spotted. The original 230 decal Silvered horribly and had to be removed . Unfortunately there were no spare 0's on the sheet so I had to make do. I was a bit disappointed when this happened because of the historical accuracy issue . Unfortunately these thing happen . Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I think I use a similar ratio, I just use less trigger when spraying and get in real close.

Many thanks Peter. The canopy I left unglued on this one just in case anyone wants a look !

Thanks Bennet, I happened across mission models paint when doing an article for a magazine, up until then I had been using tamiya and mig paints, with tamiya I always got texture on the wing roots from the paint bouncing off one surface and planting itself on another, and tbr mig paints even after copious clear coats were affected by oil washes. The mission models paints I trialled were quite surprising, after some practice and getting to know the ins and outs of the paint it is one of my favourite acrylics to use, it sprays well, atomizes well, and is fairly hardy. I still use other brands as well, these are just my favourite so far,

@@lpjmodels thanks for your feedback, It wil be interesting to see how they will do against the newly announced AK Interactive "Gen 3" acrylics.

Thanks Carl ! There will be one after I get through some more of the stash

Thanks D-tech, there are several examples of Finnish 109s with dust filters, no idea why but they existed.

@@lpjmodels i will definitely look into it further, thanks for the reply !

@@lpjmodels Seems I was kinda right, apperently Finns used filters because once the ground defrosted after winter, their airfields were literally transformed to dust.

Second that - the panel line is present top and bottom of the fuselage.

Yes it is you are correct. What isn't supposed to be there is a visible lip.

I will do ! I havent got one in the stash at the moment but I expect I will get another soon !

Thanks Ronald ! I left it unglued in case I wanted it open later !

@@lpjmodels ooh ok

Really you can use matt varnish and sand the carrier film smooth, the gloss I have been using to blend the carrier film in more, ( even though the eduard decals are nice and thin ) and prepare for a wash.

@@lpjmodels Thank you :)

Thankyou Phu, hopefully next time I will catch this mistake

Thanks Gail Raby I appreciate your comments ! The mould lines on the exhausts are weld lines !

@@lpjmodels haha.. ok, we'll call them that.

See my community page, I have just uploaded a reference shot of late 109 exhaust stacks . Thanks for the feedback. James

@Gail Raby 😂 they are supposed to be on the exhausts they are weld lines you should check up on things before posting smart ass comments like saying "OK we'll call them that" he called them that because that's what they are.

@@lpjmodels where is your community page ?

These days VMS

Thanks@@lpjmodels

Yep! Works great for tiny parts. Bigger parts need tweezers e.t.c

No they are weld lines. See reference pic on my community page

@@lpjmodels great thx !

Thankyou! In future I will remember to keep the seam.

Sometimes , not always though,

Thanks Jack. My mic isn't very good on my phone so the music helps to alleviate nasty background noise. Thankyou at least for referring to it as noodling! When I have access to recording again I will write some quieter accompaniments. Many thanks

Old Finnish airforce roundel,

They are welded, the seam is present PM the real thing

Hows the kit ? Usual tamiya quality ?

lpj models i actually got it a day or two ago and i took it out the box and im so used to airfix and revel kits that i was amazed to see no excess plastic on any parts, im still debaiting on wether to put the figures on it or not

Ive also just gotten a compressor that actually works so ive been playing around with its air pressure and gotten it just right, first paint is being used tommorow (hopefully)

Cant Fault tamiyas consistency at all !. The big problem with Airfix and Revell are the constant reboxings of very old kits ! Some can be built up really nicely but a few of them just need retiring. Their new tools aren't bad at all though !

Good luck !
