Jazzy Jase Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Here's my Tamiya Bf109 E-3 built for the Blitzkrieg Group Build. I used a few extras: Montex masks and markings Hobbydecal stencils Master metal gun barrels Ultracast exhausts, wheels, seat, prop & spinner Constructive criticism welcome. 109E3_38 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_29 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_27 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_24 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_19 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_31 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_30 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 109E3_28 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky210 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Looks great, how did you get on with the montex masks? i've just ordered some for a spit? Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahut Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Very nice - I like the early Emils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jase Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Looks great, how did you get on with the montex masks? i've just ordered some for a spit?Cheers Rich Thanks, The Montex masks are great for the markings but the ones for the glass areas are a little thick and don't conform very well to curves. I prefer the Eduard ones for glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Podmore Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I agree re: Montex masks - great for insignia markings, but not so great for canopies! Lovely build btw - I have one of these in my stash and will use yours as an aspirational benchmark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jase Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Update: Thanks to a suggestion on Facebook the tyres are now a much darker shade of grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Gorgeous, particularly like the framework around the canopy, those rivets bring it to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nicely done, just the right amount of shading and weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Wunderbar! Artur, if you look at the 5th picture (the one that shows the leading edge) you'll see the blanked off (E 1) machine gun port inboard of the cannon barrel, (they say a picture is worth a thousand words and hopefully that shows you what I was trying to explain the other day). Great paint job too isn't it. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davec_24 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 You should be proud of that, she's a beauty! I always was partial to the Emil, and yours really shows off this aircraft to best effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jase Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 I have re-painted the tyres in a darker grey. Looks better now I think: 109E3_48 by Jazzy Jase, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
