gazza l Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hi everyone. Here is my latest effort, which was an entry in the recent "Bf109 STGB group build". The kit was OOB apart from the Eduard Brassin engine set (which was a kit in itself). The kit went together relatively easily, great fit and some superb surface detailing... although the resin engine was a real pain to shoehorn in correctly. I painted the model with Xtracolor enamels and weathered it with oil washes and pastel chalks. Thanks for looking, comments and criticism welcomed. gazza l Added a little sand in these shots to give it that deserty feel. 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are supplied like that with the kit, but you do get a choice of the worn or intact crosses. I thought the worn ones would give it that well used look, although I couldn't find any references to suggest these were accurate.

bruce bay Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 One of the best 109s I have seen in ages! Really lovely. I adored the kit, but didn't dare wrestle with any resin... Seeing how your engine looks I might have to try it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine was a bit fiddly but ultimately worth it. I did made an error somewhere during the assembly that made it difficult to fit the block into the nose section... but I'm still not sure where I went wrong.
