Roman Schilhart Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Another Bf-109 finished - this is the Finemolds K4 boxing "Hartmann's Last Combat". Rob Taurus vacu canopy and Eduard photo etch added. Pitot tube from Master Models. The model was painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics. Being over-ambitious, I pretended I could mask and spray the 'Black Tulip'. I soon realized that I could not achieve any straight lines with Tamiya tape due to all those bumps and warts on the 109's nose. In the end I settled for the kit's decals. They were rather thick and didn't confirm to the contures well. I had to use generous amounts of setting solution, which in return caused the decals to 'melt' and I was facing the same problem of shaky lines again. Touch-ups were done freehand, using Vallejo paints. Thanks for lookin'! Have a good day! Roman 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi Roman, Excellent build, painting and weathering! I have this kit and I'm planning to build it for the Great Patriotic War GB. Is there a WIP thread for your build or could you please give some advice from your experience building it? Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jaime Jamie, the kit is very well engineered and has no nasty suprises in the construction process - it's on par with the quality of Tamiya kits. I'd reckon this is the best Bf-109 K kit on the market. Detail out of the box is sufficient, but you might replace the DF Loop and Morane Mast with a photo-etch item for scale effect. The plastic Finemolds used is quite hard, so cutting out the rudders took a little more time than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll build it with Eduard's PE set and Quickboost's resin exhausts for Heller Bf 109K. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
