Builder Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) 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. Build thread http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235020900-tamiya-172-bf-109-e-3/ Final Reveal Video (Please watch in HD for best results!) Final Photos I hope you all liked the post. As always all comments welcome. Edited January 10, 2018 by Builder 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Ford Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrardandrews Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 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 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 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 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
