Plasto Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Hi, Here is my completed Hasegawa Bf109 G6. Its built from the excellent 1/48 kit. I started this for the 109 GB but finished it last week. The model depicts an Aircraft of I./JG 27. In the Squadron Signal In action BF109 part 2 there is a nice Don Greer illustration of this Aircraft which I based my build on. illustration is based on an Image of Hauptmann Diethelm V Eichel- Streiber's Aircraft who was Commander of I./JG 27 in September 1944. This image appears in Monograms painting guide to german aircraft (pg 27). Anyhow... The build was very nice and I used a set of eduard steel seatbelts in the cockpit and replaced the kit MG151 barrels with brass tube with some heat shrink for the barrel dust covers. I adeed a bit of wire in the cockpit for the fuel line.. The rest is OOB. The Hasegawa G6 is a nice kit with a good few options in the box but you have to sort the seam out on the cowling side. Often you see that left in on builds... I painted the model in Mr Colour lacquers free handing the mottle and I used some card masks to help with the main camo. Decals are a mixture of Hasegawa and Tamiya I used Mr Softer / Setter on them and they were fine.. I think the Hasegawa kit can still give the new Eduard offering a run for its money. Anyhow here are a few photos... Photos were taken with an old Canon 5D with a 25-105L series lens I use a shoot through umbrella with speed light and a fixed output Softbox with daylight corrected bulbs background is a piece of semi reflective white card. Hope you like em.. Cheers Plasto Edited September 13, 2017 by Plasto 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattlow Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very nice... Even the Eduard G-6s have the gun trough insert and the need to get rid of a pesky, stubborn join line.. What did you use for the scalloped camo demarcation on the leading edges of the wings.? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a simple card mask. Thanks to all for the kind feedback. Plasto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlow Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks My airbrushing skills aren't up to freehanding those yet, so I'll try the card mask.. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
