Hi everybody Here´s another Mig-29 and the ambition from my part was to depict a rather weathered individual. For that part I used the Gunze range of colours, H305, 308, 320 and 325 and I added matt white and flesh (H44) to different degrees for the post shading process. I also experimented using oil on some panels to fade them even more. The exhaust were painted with Alclads "Exhaust", "Pale Burnt Metal" and "Transparent Blue". I also used Model Masters "Exhaust" for the inner parts of the exhaust. Apart from that an artist silver pencil from Derwent was applied here and there, to simulate chipped paint. The leaks are all from AK´s Streaking Grime, which in my opinon works very well on flat surfaces. The "office chair" is from True Details and the Pilot climbing on Eduards ladder is from Aerobonus. I used some "artistic license" on this project, for instance the pilots dress should in reality be blue, but that made him look to much of a smurf in my eyes. I Also used the decals from Begemot sheet 48-012, under the devise, "if it looks cool it´s right". Finally for the construction of the base plate a I used a single sheet of Plasticard which I scribed and glued some grass randomly. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy the pics Cheers Göran

Welcome aboard, My first entry will be the 1/48 Eduard Bf109E-1/3 from an overtrees boxing. Here are the opening shots of photocopied instructions: I intend this to be my first "in flight" build, so AM will be limited to the Aerobonus seated Bf109E pilot and the masks and PE that came with the kit. The decals and stencils are from an E-1 profipack kit that I also have: The pilot is beautifully moulded, but has his left arm posed resting on the cockpit coaming, so a little modification will be needed there: I have not settled on a scheme as yet. I have chosen two from the original 8261 boxing as either of these: Or this E-3 (hence the hedged bet in the title) from the Royal Class boxing which will also need a rear vision mirror from the accompanying PE: So that's the plan. I should break plastic in a week or so with this nice simple build to start as opposed to the other build I have planned. Regards,
