Reini78 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 #24/2019 My father´s latest and last? contribution to his captured Bf109 theme this year. Had a Hasegawa Bf109 F/G fuselage lying around from an abandoned project. Then he had the idea to play Frakenstein and fusion it with a wing and undercarriage from Fujimi. (Had still two Fujimi kits in our stash that he won´t build) After some work the wing fit perfectly. Seatbelts from Eduard, Russian star decals from the sparesbox, translucent JG3 decal from an old Aeromaster sheet, brake lines with lead wire and EZ Line, the latter was used for the antenna wire too. MRP RLM74/75/76 for the base camo, AK Real Color AMT-7 Blue and MRP AMT-4 Green for the overpainted areas. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235060494-under-new-management148-messerschmitt-bf109g-2-soviet-airforce/ The model shows an aircraft of JG3 that was captured in the Stalingrad area by the Soviets. Sources differ, some say JG3 I. Gruppe, some II. Gruppe, either end of 1942 or early 1943.

Spitfire31 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Excellent model and very pedagogic choice of livery – it's graphically obvious where it came from and where it ended up. Slick work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Interesting variation of markings on this Bf-109. If the model represents a G-2, shouldn't there be small wheel bulges on the upper wings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Really well done, nice subtle weathering too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was wrong-thinking too, already drilled the holes through the upperwings for the bulge parts, then he had to fill them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 You might want to decrease the size of your pics down from 1600 pixels as not everyone has a large screen, or maybe accessing on a mobile device. We recommend 1280 at best. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Very nice, Reini. It makes a changes from the black crosses Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadMax8 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well done. As I said before, it’s really surprising how well the Fujimi wing mated up to the Hasegawa fuselage. The paintwork is very well done. My only (minor) area for constructive criticism would be the exhaust stain. Looks like your dad’s airbrush coughed a little bit when he was adding the exhaust stain. Then again, it may just be that the issue is magnified by the photos and looks just fine in the display case... As always, thanks for sharing your Dad’s excellent work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
