discussion Completed........ "Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside." Kent Coast July 1940.

[spanner570]

This is the excellent Me109 Airfix 'Starter kit'.

I'm not all that interested in the accuracy of kits. I just build what's in the box and enjoy myself. The paint job is not of a particular aircraft. To add a bit of colour, I just fancied giving it a yellow nose and rudder.

Brush painted
I used the supplied paints and glue.
The base is a lump of polystyrene sprinkled with red sand and rubble.
The 'water' is a clear plastic lid from a food container.
The tidal surge is clear silicone flicked about with an old nail.
Photos taken in different light with my usual point and click method ( I wouldn't know any other way!) :upside:

That's it really. A relatively quick, enjoyable and no fuss build.

Thanks again for all the nice comments during the build.

I hope you like the end result.......




































Cheers.
Ron

Stunning Ron, incredible vision , perfectly composed and beautifully photographed. Love it , in fact its inspiring me ! What I want to know though is where the pilot went , i suspect hes made off on Tony the donkey , galloping into the sunset .

Beautifully done, and it didn't even need to be chucked. The undercarriage underwater was genius.

Another small masterpiece can't say anymore than that.
