Me-109 G2 1:33 Orlik

[josve]

I have now decided to start to build a plane.
I choose the Me109 G2 from Orlik since it's an fairly easy aircraft to start with and the constructor is well known for his good fit.I hope you're not fed up with the Me's.....


I started with the cockpit as I have seen most builders do

Here I have put together the main cockpit construction


And started with the interior.....as you can see I added some dirt at the rear end

Not fed up! Looking forward to more

Some further progress on the inside was done before my lateshift today.

The pilots seat


Seatbelts


And the pedals

Looking great so far! Never too many 109's!

Today I made the trim wheel,control stick and the instrument panel.
Just a few "rivets" missing on the stab trimwheels

 

[lriera]

As always, your builds are a reference for me.
Thank you for share.

 

[josve]

Made the side panels


The left panel installed


Then I put on the first skin


And started the preparation for the front part with the guns

 

[cgutzmer]

Looks awesome Johnny! Not gonna put little bottons on the sides of the seat?

In your dreams Chris!!
I know I sometimes might overdoe some detailing, but even I have some limits

I take this build as a learning build,so I'm not expecting the final result to be very good.But so far I think most of it has gone ok. I have done some errors,but nothing much to speak of.I'm just to hasty.....

 

[Dragos]

You are building very fast !!!

 

[Nothing]

well your learning build is blowing away my first 3 learning builds!!! super job!!

 

[josve]

I did some skinning today.The front segment with the guns and the segment rear of the cockpit.

 

[josve]

Another part of the fuselage is in place


I also did the internal framing of the wings

 

[josve]

Paint is something I have problems with because of my colorblindness.....
Here is my solution

This is 2 liters of paint......I need a teaspoon

So over to the plane!
Dryfitting the part after shaping, and I made some connection strips on the inside of each section to be sure it stayed together.


The cover under the cowling


I also made some new machineguns with a barrel this time


I also skinned the centerpart of the wings.

 

[cgutzmer]

Looks great Johnny! Thanks for the update
Chris

 

[Lex]

[josve]

[lriera]

Johnny, you are as always, clean and quickly. Even with the planes.

 

[josve]

Here are a few shots of the wingroot.

And the last section of the fuselage
