Spence Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) All done!The end of the week and that's my second Eduard kit completed in the last fortnight, this time their truly beautiful Messerschmitt Me109G-6, here seen in the somewhat speculative colours of Kurt Gabler's 'Mosquito Chaser', Red 8. This is Eduard's interpretation of Red 8. I say interpretation, because the scheme has been speculated over for years, the consensus being that it was a standard G-6 that had had it's paint sanded off to reveal the underlying metal (with all of the scruffiness that that would have created!). There is talk of paint remaining - particularly on the wings - and also that it may have been finished in primer - both of which seem feasible to me! But this is what Eduard suggest and as I am building the model from the box using their decals, I decided to go with it, the resulting model being rather striking with a bare metal fuselage and painted wings...I love this kit and really enjoyed putting it together - it's every bit the equal of Eduard's superlative Spitfire range. Will I build another? You bet!I hope you like it!Spence Edited June 10, 2016 by Spence 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air-to-Air Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 That is an interesting finish, a great looking kit, and very well painted and weathered. Looks like it would be fun to do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
