Moeggo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) My completed build for the North Africa GB over on Scale Rail and Plastic... WIP is here if you want to have a look- http://sparforums.com/ipb/index.php?/topic...-2jg27-black-8/ Its 99.98% done... Just need glue on the small under wing parts and the aerial wire... But its pretty much done! Edited July 31, 2012 by Moeggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeley Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very very tasty Dave. I like the lightness of touch with the weathering. The dust around the wheels, did you use pastels or is it misted on paint? chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLP Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very nice build and paintjob, and also beautifully restrained weathering! This subject is one of my favorites - I have built it myself a couple of years ago. I like the fact that you copied the camo from the real thing spot by spot, something I couldn't quite achieve myself. One minor nitpicking though: According to my reference photo the hakenkreuz had white background on this aircraft :-) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi, first of all - what a beautiful model! I love it! I'm doing their 1/32 E3 as part of the Bf109 group build - any pointers with the kit, perhaps places I should watch out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very nice paint job Dave. Are you joining the 109 GB later this year? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike DeTorrice Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's a superb build, Dave ! A stunner of a replica and presented masterfully here in a series of excellent photographs. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minor nitpicking though: According to my reference photo the hakenkreuz had white background on this aircraft :-) Cheers I noticed that too after I applied them, but I was running out of time as I had a few other builds that I need to complete before a deadline.. Hi,first of all - what a beautiful model! I love it! I'm doing their 1/32 E3 as part of the Bf109 group build - any pointers with the kit, perhaps places I should watch out for? Yea just test all the cowl parts before gluing them... They can be a tight. Very nice paint job Dave.Are you joining the 109 GB later this year? Steve I may look into it! Depends ifI can get these commissions out of the way.. But I do have 13 109's in the pile that need to be built sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Superb example of this notorious plane. Are you going to paint the tail wheel sidewalls white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad edd Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Great job on this 109! I think you used the wrong crosses for the upperwings. They should had much thinner white lines : Also, the tailwheel should have whitewall tire. Edited August 2, 2012 by bad edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny akes Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I love that, superb paint job and weathering. Might 'sit' better on weighted wheels? Just my personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramasage00 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Beautiful's the word! Nice, controlled finish on the mottles. How did you achieve it? Mine just came in the mail, so am going to start on it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
