Duncan B Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 After what seems like a long time (because it has been) I've completed my ICM Bf109 F4 as a Jabo of JG53 using Montex Masks and decals, painted using Mr Hobby acrylics. The kit includes an engine however I didn't have a lot of luck getting it to all line up so made it closed up. I used a colour profile in Kagero's Monograph Series Bf109F Vol 2 as the basis for the paint job. My first attempt at using Montex masks for the Balkan crosses, I didn't fancy using the supplied Swastikas though. I'm not sure I'd bother with the masks if I was to do it again. I replaced the kit's wheels with spares from an Eduard bf109 and that supplied the bomb and rack too. I hope you like it. Duncan B 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 That's a truly excellent Friedrich! I like the restrained but very effective weathering giving a sense of reality and, in particular, the tyres look awesome. Enviable modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I went a bit mad on weathering the prop and spinner but I do like the way the bomb has turned out. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This is the most beautiful of the 109s! After the F, it went down hill as far as I am concerned! Beautiful paint job all around. The bomb is indeed perfectly weathered. You could even have added some mud, for the hell of it! Congrats! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady72 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Bomb looks great, what technique did you used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave N Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 ..someone's been busy! Another great looking Friedrich- lovely paintwork and just the right amount of weathering /chipping. I like this scheme too, with the high demarcation line... Cheers, Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Artur I'm glad you like it (dirty wheels specially for you). I used AK's chipping fluid for the bomb, first time I've used it so thought it was best to try it on something small first. DB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm struggling to complete half a decent BF109, you present three masterpieces at once ... I'm giving up! Seriously, this looks great too, now I'm headed to see the third one Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
