109 fan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Well, it's finally finishe.....ummm, done. I like the looks of these Finnish 109s and would like to do one of the later schemes with roundels. They're even grubbier than this one. Lots of weathering fun to be had there. Here's how she turned out. Tamiya has just announced a 1/72 Bf 109 G-6. Even though I have a shelf-full of FM kits, I can't wait to see that one. Lots of extras on this build. The whole sordid tale can be found here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235048728-one-of-the-swiss-misses-chooses-to-defect/ IMG_6993 by Barry Numerick, on FlickrIMG_7014 by Barry Numerick, on FlickrIMG_7001 by Barry Numerick, on FlickrIMG_7019 by Barry Numerick, on FlickrIMG_7021 by Barry Numerick, on FlickrIMG_7022 by Barry Numerick, on Flickr IMG_7010 by Barry Numerick, on Flickr IMG_7024 by Barry Numerick, on Flickr Hope you like her and thanks for the encouragement along the way! 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yep- that's one outstanding model! Now you need a Finnish G-6/R6 gunboat to go with it! Thought it was the 1/48 kit at first- outstanding colors and weathering, too. 👍 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Wow, one of the best 109's I've ever seen in any scale. What decals did you use?
