Me-109 G2 1:33 Orlik

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

Thanks Jörg!
I have seen your build and I really don't think I'm able to mach that.
But I will do as good as I can!

Got some smallwork done before my lateshift today.

The pilots seat

Seatbelts

And the pedals

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

Made the side panels

The left panel installed
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me11sm.jpg]

Then I put on the first skin
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me12sm.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me13sm.jpg]

And started the preparation for the front part with the guns
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me14sm.jpg]

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

Yes the guns will be replaced! I didn't notice what you ment first,but now I see
The seatbelts even if they look bad.....will be left as they are!
But I'm interested in some photos!! I might be able to use them for later builds!

Another part of the fuselage is in place
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me18sm.jpg]

I also did the internal framing of the wings
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me19sm.jpg]

Paint is something I have problems with because of my colorblindness.....
Here is my solution
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me20sm.jpg]
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.

I also made some new machineguns with a barrel this time
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me24sm.jpg]

I also skinned the centerpart of the wings.

Continuing working on the tail.

First was to place the internal framing for the vertical stab.

Next was the internal framing and skinning of the stab
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me33sm.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me34sm.jpg]

And the stabilizer is in place

Did the rest of the tail today.
I had to make a part for the support of the skin on the top fin.It wasn't in the kit,but it was shown on the drawing.

So the exiting wings was on turn.....

Here I have glued on the underside of the left wing.

I preshaped the leading edge before gluing the top
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me44sm.jpg]

The skin is glued on, and the left aileron are waiting.The wingskin had a perfect fit!
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me45sm.jpg]

Aileron and wingtip are ready

I had to plave the fuselage on the wings
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me49sm.jpg]

In between the wingwork waiting for glue to dry, I did some other smaller work.
The tailwheel and the Air inlet
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me50sm.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me51sm.jpg]

And the middle part of the canopy and one of the landing wheels....for the moment dusted with desert sand....
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me52sm.jpg] [Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me53sm.jpg]

One of the wheels on the landing gear is ready.I'm not quite happy with the center hub....I have to make some changes to the hub with another part from another kit I have with a better looking hub.
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me54sm.jpg]

Next was one of the oil coolers under the wings
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me55sm.jpg]

I also made one of the propeller blades
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me56sm.jpg]

Some small bulbs was added to the front part
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me57sm.jpg]

Thanks Jörg!!

Approaching the final stage.
Now it's only some detailing work left.

Here is the present stage.My plan is to make a small scene on the grass.
[Blocked Image: http://www.papirmodeller.com/workshop/meg2/me62sm.jpg]

The canopy is done. I'm not very pleased with the result.I slipped and glue dots came on the glass.....But it still looks ok from a distance.

Only a few parts left now and the plane id done.
I have the left side exhaust pipes and some covers over the pipes to do.And of course some minor touchups

Today I finished the plane.
