Isak Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hi all. Wanted to post this Avia S-99 from Eduard in 1:48 scale. As most of you can see its a Bf109G10, the Czechs had a fully functioning aircraft factory left behind by the Germans and decided to continue producing after the war. The markings is actually for a police force plane. Police fighter planes are not so common anymore I guess. Have been at this one since Christmas (was a present from my lovely wife and kids) and finally calling it done. The kit did fit together quite well, but was a lot more complex than the Airfix kits I have built before. Tried my hands at photo etch for the first time as well. Painted in Humbrol enamels, Mission Models Clear coat. Aerial wire is a strand of hair. Feel free to comment and criticize. Regards, Isak 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Turned out great! Interesting colors! Can't call it camouflage, no?! Edited September 22, 2019 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nice "Mule"! - I know that it apparently wasn't that good a plane, but I like the look of it. Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isak Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 @Abandoned Project Takk skal du ha. @Johnny_Sokko Thanks. It's a limited edition, actually just a bf 109 g-10 with Czech markings. @exdraken Thanks. I kind of fell for the colours myself. The crimson came out a bit darker than planned, thanks to my attempt at black-basing. Should probably had a light coat over the black. It certainly isn't camouflage. @HansReggelsen Thank you. Actually I think It's the Avia S-199 thats was dubbed the mule. After a fire destroyed the warehouse with all the DB605 engines for the S-99 they started using Jumo engines in them and called it S-199. It apparantly sort of worked... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Wow! Nice model! The nose and stabilizers remind me of the maroon plastic Aurora used on their old Bf-109 kit! (What were they thinking?) Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
