IanC Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hello I've just finished the new Tamiya 1/72 Bf 109G. It has some clever design features that make it a joy to put together, but it's expensive and has less options than its 1/48 brother. For the price I think Tamiya might have at least offered the 20mm cannon gondolas for the R6 version. As it is you just get a drop-tank. That said, it's a little jewel and possibly the best Gustav in the scale. I painted mine as an Erla-built aircraft flown by 10./JG 11 in May 1944. I used the national markings and stencils from the kit, which went down well with the usual setting solutions. Merry Christmas to all! 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerR. Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Brilliant. It looks like it is 1/48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Spiffing paint finish there. And it could indeed pass as 1/48. Now you got me wanting one too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks. Paints used were Gunze. They spray really well and the finish is so smooth I don't need to bother with a gloss coat. Just polish the surface a bit and it's ready for the decals. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Superb build in Braille scale – could easily pass for 1:48th. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim Many thanks. I've actually got the 1/48 version on the bench. It's a cracking kit. If all goes well I'll post it here sometime in the new year. Seasons greetings to all.
