One quick photo of the finished Royal Yugoslavian Emil--bad lighting conditions outdoors but photos later:

Nice work anyway

Well, because I am so clumsy I have had to buy a new camera. I dropped my trusty old one and destroyed the lens mechanism. Otherwise I would have posted a few photos of this airplane sooner.

As stated before, this is the Airfix Emil and the decal sheet is from a quite old Aviation USK sheet that came in a group of decals I purchased a while back.

Camera work perfect and model build is great!

[Second Air Force]

A secret---those were the last images I took with the old camera. I dropped it just after taking these and just swapped the memory card into the new unit. I'm still trying to learn the new one's operation......

I don't know what amount you have but you can buy excellent (for us) Nikon camera with Nikkor lenses up to 250€

for the kit.

Hope you will be satisfied with the new camera...

[Second Air Force]

Thanks fellows!

I purchased a Canon camera as I have always had them, both film and digital. I have broken a couple of them by my own stupidity and clumsiness but they always have been very dependable. The new one is giving me the normal "learning curve" problems to work through but it does look like it will be a good machine once it trains me to use it!

Very nice work on the Airfix kit.

One more 109 to end the year 2013 and usher in the next one! This Emil and the 108 were companions when I purchased them so I reckon they can be companions on the workbench.....

First part started, and about all that will get done this year, is the wing:

Back to old long topic

Here is the Academy G-14 in the colors of II/JG27 in the late summer of 1944. A color photo exists of a line of JG27 machines with Yellow 2 in the foreground. Yellow 5 is the next airplane in line and this is the airplane I selected.

Hello ! 

Unfortunately, "gelbe 5" of II./JG 27 is a Bf 109 G-6/AS... not a G-14. Sorry.

Thanks, Jicehem! I don't know how I missed that detail back when this model was built......

But, that gives me a chance to correct the error!
First a bit of disassembly:

Then some strong clear tape applied:

Did not know that technique... Useful!
