Fuad Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Greetings to all! Sometimes I like to compete with myself. Believe me, this is the best I've got from the competition. There, the judge is his own person and judges objectively))). I made this same Tamia set 8 years ago, at the end there is a photo of that old Messer.

Fin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Excellent as usual. I want to ask: have you made any changes to the fuselage? I know the Tamiya fuselage (two of its rings) is slightly shorter than it should be. Edited May 31, 2019 by Fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmouredSprue Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Very nice indeed. We can see how your painting skills had evolve since your first E of the same kit. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Awesome, as usual! If my enjoyment of the hobby were measured by the ability to reach these benchmarks, I'd have given it up long ago. Luckily, I also enjoy seeing the incredible skills and magnificent models that appear in this forum. Very inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Call me crazy, Fuad, but I think I like your older E-7 better! It's scary how good your standards were eight years ago, too! My very favorite E-7 scheme and markings. Is that the new Tamiya G-6 I see leading the trio? Three very nice builds. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Yes, that's the G-6 model up there, and the review of this model is also on site. I used the hand-brush to paint the spots on the older model as I couldn't use the airbrush back then, but now that I could I've decided to redo the model.

It`s not so visible when the painting scheme helps. For example when the white or yellow band is narrow or passes from one ring to another. Yours is a good example in this sense and all the details you`ve put into it(rivets, weathering) also help. It`s more annoying when the identification fuselage band is meant to cover that whole second to last ring. That`s because Tamiya didn`t just make the whole fuselage shorter, but made two rings that were meant to be wider narrower. ICM`s Bf 109E which is very similar to Tamiya`s has corrected this. Here`s a comparison of the two (not my photo) showing the wider ICM bands (top fuselage half): http://www.cartula.ro/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=148777 Unfortuantely, ICM`s kit has a range of its own problems and does not build as easy as its Tamiya brother. Anyway, I`m basically trying to make peace with using the Tamiya kit without alterations because it`s a wonderful kit to construct and the fact that you`e chosen to keep it like this and seeing your result helps me in that direction.

Winenut Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 One thing I just saw was the swastikas on the tail look a bit odd. Are they the kit decals? Not a criticism just wondering if they're accurate or maybe there's too much white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
