Roman Schilhart Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Dear fellow modellers, this is Revell's 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-10 with upgrades from Quickboost (Propeller, Air Intake), Eduard (Photo Etch), Rob Taurus (Vacu Canopy) and Eagle Cals (Decals). There are some colour pictures of this particular machine, which crash-landed behind American lines in 1945. The camoflage looks like RLM74/RLM75, but with reduced 'red' factor (as seen in Kagero's "Bf-109 G/K Vol.1") it could as well be RLM75/RLM83, which I chose. According to Eagle Cals, this aircraft belonged to I./JG52. The model was painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby colours with my Evolution airbrush. I decided to build this kit before AZ Model's new 109-series is expanded to the G-10. Otherwise, it would have probably been sleeping in my stash forever (a shame with all the aftermarket sets obtained already). Thanks for your interest. With kind regards from Vienna, Roman 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeKay Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi Roman, I really like your work on the 1.72 scale kits. Your aircraft as well as your armour are very subtely painted and weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Beautiful camo and realistic weathering! Top class. But you didn't bother to fill in that row of spurious holes on the engine cover just in front of the air intake. ;-) They are a misunderstanding by the toolmaker – remnants of an indication of where the 'bulging' ends, on a sideview drawing (I've forgotten by whom, maybe John Beaman?). Lovely work, looks like 1:48th! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 wow that is seriously good. Clean and dirty at the same time...if you know what I mean. Great skills and finish at any scale but particularly at 1:72 Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Absolutely superb. A great finish and I like the colour interpretation. Looks great, fantastic work especially in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kelley Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Fantastic finish. I am currently working on the 1/32 version, which is a lovely kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am not a great fan of the Revell 109 but hats of to you for producing a fantastic model from it. I really like the painting and weathering. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've commented before but had to some back for a second look. It is brilliant....and your crisp photography enhances the build and takes it to another level. One of my favourites in this scale this year. Very well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Very smart looking G! This has to be my favourite '109 variant. The mottle work is great, I'll have to look into an evolution for myself eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
