ping_pong Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Another monster Airfix kit that ive made over the last year. House is getting full up. But i love making the big models. Hope you like it. A few things wrong but always learning. Thanks for viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the MDman Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That is a nice Emil. I guess a kit like that demands a lot of paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekenba Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 You are not joking when you call it a monster! I like the dirty finish on the paintwork from the pre-shading - looks great and very realistic. Maybe the centre line on the underside could benefit from a little more sanding to eliminate the join perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dekenba Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's still a great build and that finish really is wonderful - just looks like a well used fighter plane! Took me a long time to get anywhere near a finish as good as that - if at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Maybe the centre line on the underside could benefit from a little more sanding to eliminate the join perhaps? Its supposed to be there. 109's had a panel running along the top and bottom of the fuselage. Nice finish by the way. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Good build and an impressive kit in spite of its age. I have to amiably disagree with dekenba and some others, though – to my eyes, the preshading looks way overdone and not realistic at all. Especially considering that this particular plane took part in the BoB and at that time of the war, German crew chiefs would probably be taken behind the barracks and shot if they left a plane in that state. ;-) Also, the fin does look a bit strange in that scale without the infamous crooked cross, don't you think? Btw, there's some interesting info on Yellow 9 from JG 26 on this page: http://www.aviationm...m.co.uk/109.htm Kind regards, Joachim Edit: Here's a 1:24th decal sheet full of crooked crosses: http://www.techmod.pl/aviation-24/24005-german-wwii-swastikas Edited September 19, 2012 by Spitfire31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
