Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

Hi guys. Its mike from the uk.
My CM PRO 109 started out as an artf & has gone backwords from there!!
I reworked the wing to suit special retracts we made for a similar size 109e we were doing as a kit a few years ago.
The dihedral has been increased to the correct angle & a light weight scale tail wheel has been added in the correct position.
I even repositioned the exhaust stubs in more or less the right poition & changed the shape of the wing fairing to suit theF / G model.
Rudder is now a closed loop system using DACRON fishing line & a more substantial but lighter elevator push rod system has been added.
As I'M fiting a 180 f/s i didnt fancy the original system at all!

Oh yes, I also changed the cockpit to look more scale with the flat panels in the fus. by the clear vision panels in the canopy.
AND a new canopy!!

TY is going to supply a new spinner as the reports on the plastic one scares me to hell!

Apart from that its exactly as it came out of the box

(did I mention the motor plate had been glued in upside down at the factory giving left thrust ? Another mod. !!)

I cant decide on a paint job yet.

any ideas?
