Tamiya 1/72 Bf 109 E-3


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

This is my completed Bf 109 E-3, which I just built for the Messerschmitt Bf 109 STGB. For some reason, I find the kit looks much better in the video than it does in the photos.

 

Build Summary

The purpose of the build was to get my Mojo back. So I built it fast, and how I felt, painted it with Humbrol enamels and did the panel lines with a Copic Multi liner marker. I could have taken more time detailing it but didnt really want to. In the end the goal was achieved, feels good to complete a kit in a while.

Accuracy is the concern here, just a decent finish, a decent built and decent paint job.

Wow, love this. Great presentation on the video, especially the bit with the sky and clouds.

The head on picture above is absolutely perfect, symmetrical in every way. Congratulations on a great build, Martin.

Lovely job.  How the heck did you manage the miniscule canopy in this kit?

I have this in my stash and it is good to see it can build up well.

Well done! :thumbsup:

Brilliant looking model, and such a quick make, hope its done the job, and your making kits again.

I've got the same kit part finished on the bench, might finish it now I've seen yours 😊

 

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

Your 109 looks great - I also agree that a quick, simple build works for restoring the model building mojo and have done the same myself from time to time.

 

Regards

Very clear build and excellent result! Some exhaust pipe smoke would be a cherry on this lovely and tasty  cake :)
