Sturmovik Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) This is the Academy rebox of the Hobbycraft Bf 109G-6, advertised in this boxing as a G-6/G-2 version (Bf 109G-6/G-2 "JG27"). It wasn´t that simple though, because I realised half of the build that the G-2 had an opening for a retractable tailwheel, whereas the G-6 didn´t. I ruined the propeller spinning system, so I had to fix the propeller in place. The kit was brush painted with Revell acrylics. The model represents Marseille´s last aircraft before his death on September 30th 1942. Edited September 17, 2018 by Sturmovik 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 That really does look the goods to me, those shades certainly look like I'd expect them to so thanks @glatisant for saving me asking that question. Off to consult my paint box(es) Your painting looks pretty jolly good too. Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 @stevehnz thanks, Revell paints are really nice to use. I believe the colours would look better if I actually used natural light for my models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
