mathy Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Hi, here some pics of my new build: Tamiya`s brand new Bf 109 G-6. Built it OOB with some decals of the "yellow 5" of 9./JG 26 based at Nancy/France in Spring 1944 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lancaster Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 That's a beauty! THe subtle weathering job there sets the model off really nicely Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Agree it looks great 👍 your work is great. Question have you built an Eduard G-6 & how does it compare to the Eduard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathy Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 The fit of both kits is just great. The surface details of the Eduard model are more detailed, but Tamiya is more innovative and offers a nice engine you can show with open or closed cowling. But both are state of the art!!!

Marco Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Fantastic! I loved the mottling. How did you do the beads on the antenna wire? Edited March 10, 2018 by Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 How were the decals? Were they thick or did they settle down into the panel lines without problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Mathy Just a lovely work , I'll never get fed up of it. Your work and subtility is simply astonishing ! But...how can you state that the Eduard " Best ever seen NEW Bf 109G-6" is "state of the art!!!". I can't believe my eyes when I read that !. Eduard Bf 109G-6 (and all the others) are just beautiful Eggplanes , and that's the kindest words I found to express what I am thinking about this "Super Ego" 's rendition of this airplane. The problem is that he is still selling them...! Thank you to TAMIYA who keeps on showing the world what a scale model must look like ! Eduard and his "dedicated Bf 109G research team" may now go and pay a visit to an ophtalmologist and learn what a Scale is from the Master! ( Not the auto proclaimed one ! ) This not "Eduard bashing" it's just a fact! I am not talking about other Eduard products... Thanks again for having paying such a beautiful tribute to TAMIYA.
