Hello,
I've just started my next build, Revell's 1:32 Bf109 G-10. I've never built a 1:32 model before, mainly due to size, cost, skill etc but recently decided to take the plunge.
This isn't going to be a quick build, mainly due to the difference in scale!
Work started in the cockpit as usual, all parts were sprayed mid grey over a black undercoat to allow some subtle shading [although it's not really visible in the photos].

I removed the moulded seatbelts and bought the Eduard PE set however, after thinking about it, I made my own belts using the buckles provided in the Eduard set. I think they look a little less 'flat' than the PE ones [but feel free to disagree!]

I used a combination of Revell and Airscale decals on the IP. I've added a drop of Klear to the dial faces [just visible in the photos below].

Here's where I am now - the cockpit has been matted down and partially assembled. If I'm honest, I'm really pleased how it's turned out so far.

I've also taped the fuselage together and it looks [and fits] great!

That's it for now, thanks for looking!
