bf109e converted to SCW D (Almost finished)

[ScanmanDan]

 

My latest Squirrel.

 

Since I doubt very much that Tamiya will ever make one of these

 

So I thought, why not?

 

I've been toying with the idea of of bashing a SCW D from the basic Cute series bf109e.  The major stumbling block was figuring out how to do a two bladed prop.  Once I got my head around cutting up the two three bladed props I had on hand( I had an extra prop after the g6 conversion.) I was good to go.

 

Here's where I'm at right now as I wait for some putty to dry off.

 

 

 

A lot rough but these critters are just for fun and grins.

 

I hope you like her.  I'm dusting off the g6 so I can shoot some paint this weekend, well that's the plan anyway.

 

Thanks for dropping in.

Progress;

 

Cockpit finished, just some junk and paint.  I ended up using the IP sticker as I stuffed up using the decal  Came out just the same, so no harm in the end.

 

 

 

 

Basic primer on now showing I still have some little clean ups before I shoot the RLM 02.

 

 

 

 

Most of the changes are on the lower wing but pretty straight forward with a Dremel and some epoxy putty.

 

I hope to get the Basic paint on soon so I can mess about with the markings.

 

Thanks for dropping by for a look.

Basic paint, a bit of overspray and some little fixes but nothing too bad.

 

 

 

I'm still going through my decals to see if I can find some numbers to use, otherwise I'm going to have to paint em

 

Thanks for looking in.

Not 100 percent factual but it will do.  Still very rough but I'm happy with how much I got completed within the long weekend.

 

Time to open a cold one, or two

 

Thanks for stopping' by.

Progress;

 

Flat coat, some scratches & highlights with watercolour pencils and a new one for me some oversprays of Tamiya colours thinned with straight alcohol ( 80% ISP) Very thin and at low pressure.  I don't know where I read about this but thank you to that person who posted it as I could get it to work very easily and I can see some interesting potential in the technique for fading and weathering.  I'm trying for restrained and subtle ( both of which I don't well )

 

 

 

 

Getting there and not too much to finish, though I want to do a more desert looking base for this one.

 

I hope you like.
