The base camouflage for the '109 is done.

The colours I've used are light blue for the undersides, and black-green/dark green for the uppers. All Revell Aqua-colour paints.

And next comes the fun part - SPLODGING!!! :-D

Next up are the white wingtips and fuselage band, before fitting the undercarriage and the drop tank.

The decals are mainly from the kit itself, with some spares box stuff from, ironically, the Academy Buchon.

Nice little kit, the Arii/Otaki '109. Goes together well and looks nice when finished. Can't wait to build the next one - although this one might take a little bit longer! ;-)

Incidentally, someone on Facebook has challenged me to build another and convert it to a Buchon. It's an intriguing idea.... ;-)

Well done. I do prefer that to the Bouchon tbh. You're going to run out of 109s at this rate. :)

See, I like the Buchon because it's a bit un-pretty.... ;-)

I've only one more to do for the GB. For now.... ;-)

It's tempting to add another to the pile, but three will do for me! :ha:











Maybe.
