Re: Bf-109 Natural Metal Wings

The "seams" on Me 262 fuselages are not primered, but putty of different colour on bare aluminum has been used. Pre-fabricated components like tail unit and nose unit were joined by tape in combination with a thin coat of putty.
The Bf 109 wings weren´t puttied because of the lack of bigger joints like those of the Me 262. Only the pre-fabricated elliptical wingtips were attached by using tape - painted on the upper side (sometimes visible as bright strip) and unpainted on the lower surfaces

Regards

Roland
