dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Fine Molds Bf109G-2/R6. The G-2 was the non pressurised version of the G-1 and was the main production model until they swapped to the G-4. This is one fitted with the R6 modification, which consisted of a pair of MG151 20mm cannons in pods under the wings. This gave a useful boost to the firepower, for shooting down bombers but reduced speed and agility for combatting enemy fighters. The Fine Molds kits are the best kits around for Bf109F/G and K models with similar quality to Tamiya and Hasegawa but you do pay extra for it. Despite their cost, anyone who is a fan of 109's and builds in 1/72, should get at least one of these excellent kits! This one is painted up as a JG54 Grunherz aircraft, in a fresh coat of winter whitewash over the camouflage. Please ignore the wonky headrest, I only noticed it after taking off the canopy mask! 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask how you achieved the winter camouflage? Andrew I painted some RLM70/71 camouflage on first (as Gurnherz liked Green Bf109's) and then built up coats of White on top, with the White being thickest in the middle of the panels. I use an Iwata Revolution airbrush with a 0.5 needle. thanks Mike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't stock Fine Molds, no one currently does in the UK thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Very nice build, paint finish looks great. You're right about Fine Molds - either not stocked or asking too much, ended up buying my kits from Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a few when we were stocking them and I wish I got more now! thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
