4 Messerschmitt 109 Emil from 1940 BoB on 1/48
dov posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Hallo Four Messerschmitt 109 Emils of these two aces. Hasegawa, Tamiya, Revell kits in 1/48. All kits are about 20 years or older. I also had Eduard etched parts, barrels from Master and so on. Masks from different producers. I used Gunze C-colors for the paint shop. Some MIG stuff for weathering. I tried to be accurate. It took me some time to finish them, vacation in between. This old kits have some inaccuracies. For instance the instrument panel outline does not match with the cross section of the fuselage at this exact position. Just wondering! The time range of this 4 models are the fall of 1940 to winter. GALLAND And now the a/c from WICK: Happy modelling -
Hi all, Is it really five years since we last did this? Wow! Hopefully there will be time and energy for at least a couple of builds, but this one was my birthday present back in February that was bought by my wife specifically for this GB. We live quite near the southernmost areas of the Battle, and the Solent is quite a key part of family life, so when Airfix came out with its recent Dogfight Double of the new tool Spit Mk.Ia and Bf109e in the markings of the ill-fated combatants John Dundas and Helmut Wick, it seemed like the right thing to get it. Of course the fatal encounter between the two took place after the end of the Battle, but both aircraft depicted saw service throughout so I hope I'm safe on that front! Here is the box and sprues: The one thing I will be adding is Propblur propeller blades - the rest will be my attempt at making them to an acceptable standard!
