How wonderful! Thank you for the info, I will go there and look for building log. Thanks!!

I bet in life it is by far more impressive than in the pics, it looks huge! Very well done, I love the soot marks on the wing, the detailed work on the guns, wonderful!!

Absolutely beautiful! I would love to see some more pics from different angles. I love the way you weathered it!

Yea... I think now you've gone too far...

Well, I don't think the point is more natural or less manufactured, to me, the point is doing something different that will make the watching eye to wonder.

Parabat, Lansen73 and KLP, Thank you all for your kind words. Jack, I don't know how often the stressed metal phenomenon happens. I guess it's an equation of how long the airplane is in the air and how stressful are the maneuvers. Maybe even how the airplane is maintained... I know that you can find it even in modern aircraft, today. Any way, The stressed metal effect is more obvious from a certain point of view, and that is the rear of the plane and with certain angle of light falling onto it. check this picture here and look at the plane in front, especially it's left wing, you can almost see every panel. In Courtesy of www.luftwaffephotos.com Just like forced perspective dioramas, this is sort of like "forced perspective stressed metal" concept. This is something I was seeking and trying to achieve for a while. I myself has some thoughts about how it is emphasized, and perhaps I will tone it down a bit in the future. However, just like you said it, it is more visible from the back of the plane. From other angles it is less visible, again, a concept to fool the eye.

Now that's an interesting subject! What a great cammo job in such a small scale! Wonderful!

Hi Sure! Originally my model came with the wrong canopy, and after so much debate across the internet, Eduard offered to all 109E4 consumers to replace, free of charge, their canopy. All you had to do is send an email and your address. Also they offered 15% (or so) off any purchase from their stores. Gladly I was able to get mine and another nice model for a very good price.

Thank you so much Jimbuna!

This is one crazy wing span! I would love to see some more pics with better lighting, looks like a lot o the details are being missed.

Wow! I bet this is one eye catcher. What thinners did you use? Acrylic or enamels? thanks!

Hi Jack No babbling at all! Yes you are right, however I was looking for the stressed metal look, rather than weathered look. This is done by painting just in order to "fool" the eye, and give a sense of depth. The weathering is actually rather light, just a bit of faded paint. I'm always open for a discussion about this method. Thank you!

Thanks Chris! Thanks Racedees I loved building it.

Hi all Just finished Eduards 1:32 Bf-109E4. Some scratched items were added inside the cockpit and around the engine. in fact the fire wall between the ammo boxes and the engine is scratch. Eduards PE set was added. Camo was painted according to the 2 existing photos of this aircraft. I loved every second in building this kit, so I hope you will like it as well. Any thoughts, suggestions and critics are always welcome

Thank you guys for your awesome words!!! I would like to hear your opinions about the RLM81 Braunviolet. I mixed 3 parts of XF-9 Hull red and with 2 parts of X-16. I was looking for a brownish purple color. Now since this color looks like a faded Olive drab from MM and Polly scale (same anyway), and this color has many ways to interpret, just would like to hear your thoughts and opinion regarding this color, as I'm still not completely sure about it. Thanks!
