Threadbear Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Looking like a great project. Always fancied doing a Swiss 109 but that Cutting Edge sheet is rarer than Hen’s teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Klaus from Cutting Edge still sells them http://fineartofdecals.com/goodies/148-treasures-axis/ not the best decals, but Kora/LF Models has also decals for Swiss 109s https://www.modelimex.cz/1-48-decals-bf-109-g-6-g-14-swiss-air-force https://www.victorymodels.com/products/lf-models-1-48-decals-bf-109-over-swiss-pt-v-for-academy-hobbycraft-kits 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threadbear Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for the links. I didn’t realise that a lot of the Cutting Edge Decals were still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 The CE decals have the white crosses only combined with the red undersurface, seems the decals are intended for both, E and G models. Don´t know how they fit the Hasegawa G-6, also it´s not so easy to find the correct red paint that fits the decals. Therefore my dad decided to paint the Swiss IDs completely, using Montex masks for the crosses.

Threadbear Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Your Dads choice to airbrush the white and mask for the red is the sensible and obvious option. Appplying those decals and getting a good finish and paint match would prove to be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
