Reini78 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 #20/2017 After the JG54 G-6, here´s right away the next Hasegawa 109. Like with the other, also here Gunze and Tamiya acrylics used, EZ Line for aerials, plastic rods and lead wire for brake lines and cockpit fuel line, decals from RB Productions. Model shows an a/c of Grupul 7/9 Vanatoare in Piestany in January 1945. At that time Romania was already reached by the Red Army and fought along its side against the Germans. So yellow IDs changed to white and crosses to roundels.

Spitfire31 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Pretty build! Most Bf 109s I've seen have had the antenna taut. Any special reason for that floppy aerial? Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any special reason for that floppy aerial? Kind regards, Joachim thanks! It depends were the mast is mounted. The 109s with the mast mounted on the Erla canopy had a special tensioning system for the wire. The wire leads with the mast into the cockpit on the inner left side of the canopy and is connected with the canopy lock. To say normally the wire hangs through so that the canopy can be opened properly, only when the pilot is in the aircraft and locks the canopy the wire gets tensioned. Here you can see a part of this mechanism 9512947748_325b857f3c by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 271mo-39 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selrach Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi Reinhard, I really enjoy your work. I think it is top notch. After looking at this model in super zoom on flickr I have a suggestion that might help you do the paint schemes even better. What I have found is that if you tear holes in paper masks you can get mottle spots that have no spatter or speckle overspray. The atomisation of the paint is near perfect since you can thin the paint down a little more and spray and higher pressures. The torn edges of the hole also atomises the paint. If one is really meticulous, one can create an entire pattern of spots to scale as seen in a photograph. The mask making takes some work and precision but the painting is pretty fast and easy. If would like, I can send examples showing this technique. Regards, Selrach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selrach Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Reinhard, Here is an example from another website. I am not sure how to insert images into replies. I do not have a flickr account. If you know an easy way to cut and paste images please let me know or I could send it to you via regular email. I would value very much you opinions about these masking techniques. http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/italeri-trimaster-dml-fw-190-d-9-1-48.18635/ Regards, Selrach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selrach Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Reinhard, What are your thoughts about this technique? People talk about using masks made of metal and blue tac. I think torn paper is way more effective if you want soft edges but nobody seems to realize this. Selrach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selrach Well, my dad is the builder, I only do the pics and postings due to his rather basic computer and English skills. But I more or less accompany him through his builds. I think he will do the mottling always freehand. Often the camos were applied in the field or changed and I don´t think that masks were used. Looking at pics of original Luftwaffe aircraft you can also often see paint overspray. Depending on the model and surface, for softer edges he uses either bluetac or paper fixed with bluetac to the model so that there is a small distance between mask and surface. From time to time he also uses torn paper for very soft camo demarcation lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
