phil23 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hi everyone, This is my first post in this section and I present you my last build: 1/32 Eduard 109 E-7 trop. The kits is oob and definitely not a straightforward build for me at least… wrapped front fuselage, hug gaps on the underside of the wing/fuselage joints, etc.. Paints are from the AK "True Colour" range and despite the ease or use, I am a bit puzzled regarding the tint of the Rlm 79 which looks too orange for me… but I'm far from an expert. A final word: it's my first 1/32 Emil since my childhood attempt on a Matchbox kit in 1978 (and I had more fun!) Thanks for watching Phil 44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 'I am a bit puzzled regarding the tint of the Rlm 79 which looks too orange for me' Oh no, an opening for the Great RLM Colour Debate! Alas I am an expert in nothing, except in knowing what I like; and your Emil is a model I like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Very nice! Love that sceme! It is the most attractive for a 109 E. Ernst Schroer would be happy to see his plane as a model. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Very nice! I'm about to embark on a build, in 1/48, with the same scheme. Your's looks great Phil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas I am an expert in nothing, except in knowing what I like; and your Emil is a model I like a lot. I read a lot about the subject of RLM colors and are more than amazed from what the experts could find out and deduct from b&w pics and old paint chips and old regulations. My personal summary is as follows: paints change a lot over time paints got mixed no one knows really for sure therefore: there is practically nothing that was not (i.e. everything is possible) or: if you painted it and like the result it is GOOD! And I do apologize if I restarted that discussion, I kind of was trying to achieve the opposite ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antb Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Very nice indeed, great work! You've seen already I have the same problems you do with the kit. Hope I can get mine to look half as decent as yours! Great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Excellent work. From what I have seen and read, RLM when freshly applied was a darkish tan colour but faded under the sun to a paler, sandy shade. AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This is a beautiful piece of work. Very precise finish! I think the colors look just right. This is one of my favorite paint schemes for the 109 -- in fact I just ordered an E-7 with this paint scheme myself. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil23 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hi to all, Thank you for the kind comments and the welcoming words! As you may have noticed, this paint shceme is the one depicted in the 1/72 Matchbox kit boxart… a true chilhood memory! I have a plan to make modern kits wearing old matchbox box art paint scheme, the next one on the list will be the Dooleybird Mustang based on the 1/48 Airfix Kit.

Adam Poultney Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 In one of my favourite schemes! I need to get another 109 Emil in 1/48 and in 1/72 to do a similar scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
