Rod bettencourt Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hello all, This is my Cyber-hobby/ Dragon Bf-109E-3. I riveted and stressed the skin on this project. I used HGW seatbelts, Yaha instrument panel along with some minor scratch building in the cockpit. As per my usual I used Model Master paints. Thanks for looking.

FatFlyHalf Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Really wonderful. The first picture had me fooled and I did a double-take! One small point, the Bf 109E rivets are a bit 'over done' for me. They are usually almost invisible, except really close up (as are the panel seams). If you follow the link below you'll see from a contemporary colour photograph what I mean. https://me109.info/display.php?from=site&lang=de&auth=e&name=version_display&fotonummer=286 But you made a brilliant model and super photography.

Alpha Delta 210 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I agree with elger!! Excellent model and very good photography. I don't normally look at WW2 aircraft models, but I'm so glad I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigginHill Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Very nicely done, toned down colours, moderate weathering, very effective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Absolutely beautiful - simply stunning. The weathering is subtle and convincing. The first two photos look like the real thing. How did you weather it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauls9cb Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Always interesting to see a JG 2 Emil without all the stippling that typified their camo as the war moved on after Poland/France etc. Great attention to detail and superb photo background. Well done! Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen Modeller Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Realism doesn’t get much better than this. Brilliant model and amazing photography. I think the riveting and panel lines work - without them you would be sacrificing up close detail so it’s a good compromise. I can’t see anything out place here. Very well done... 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Amazing work and photgraphy. For me, it's that second photo. That could easily be passed as real, and the more I look at it, the more realistic it looks. It could so easily be somewhere in France in May 1940. Brilliant!
