polybebber Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 This is my first post of a finished 32nd scale model on this forum. Years ago after a terrible day at the office I decided to do some modelling to calm down. But something went wrong and in my frustration I smashed the almost finished fuselage against the wall. At least I collected the debris and put them back in the box. I pulled the box out of the stash some weeks ago (withe no boss anymore - only SWMBO) and my guilty conscience told me to finish it, which I did. I need to mention that I did not thoroughly research the subject, it's more or less based on my interpretation of the few - partly conflicting - information I have. But I've enjoyed the build Hope you like it: BTW: It's the Hasegawa 1/32 Bf 109G-6 kit with a few etched parts in the cockpit and the Barracuda canon gondolas, paints are all Gunze. Markings are a mix of Sky Decals and Montex masks. Thanks for watching. Lothar 64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Very well done Bf109.......No.....it's excellent actually.....after the beating against the wall! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Perhaps we should refer to it as a 109 Giuseppe??? I have no knowledge of the Italian usage of 109s, and it wouldn't detract from your work if I did......you've resurrected a bashed kit in spectacular fashion (New meaning to the phrase "kit-bashing"?) and the finish is superb. Congrats on a brilliant save. Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srkirad Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I like how mottles turned out, and visible preshading marks below the camouflage. I would also praise quality of photos and diffuse shadows beneath the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
