Duncan B Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have finally completed my Tamiya 1/72 scale Bf109G6. It had sat on the shelf of doom part built after I lost interest in it due to the odd parts breakdown in places (for example, I fitted the panel on the belly then realised I should have fitted the undercarriage legs beforehand which is a problem if you want to paint the model before fitting them). Anyway it's done now and here it is. Painted with Mr Color paints. Duncan B 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 fan Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Beautifully done, Duncan! I like the freehanded scalloping on the wing leading edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlow Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I like that a lot..! It looks great, until you see it being held and that just ramps the impressiveness up a notch... Nice. Did you get on with this kit apart from the parts breakdown? Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Beema Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I don’t really know much about Luftwaffe aircraft but it looks a super job to me. Well done on a great addition to your display cabinet.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 10 hours ago, Mattlow said: Did you get on with this kit apart from the parts breakdown? Matt It went together quite well but I did need to fill the wing to fuselage joint underneath and I had a bit of a step between the gun cover and the fuselage that needed some attention too. The way the undercarriage legs fit is clever as it sets the angles up perfectly but the panel that holds them should be left off until after painting (I actually cheated/forgot and had to lift the panel to get the legs in after painting but got away with it). Lots of detail in the cockpit that disappears the moment the canopy is fitted. The worst thing about the whole package has to be the very thick decals. There is no way of disguising the ridge from the carrier film although I did trim off as much as I could it is still very obvious (in the third photo you can see a line on the wing where the walkway decal is). The decals seemed impervious to any of the decal solutions I have and would not settle down nicely either. I should really have used some of the aftermarket decals I have but just wanted to get it finished after such a long time on the Shelf of Doom.

stevehnz Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 That is a helluva nice job on that Duncan. A very deft touch on display. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlow Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks for the exposée Duncan. I really hope Eduard decide to downsize their 109 series like they have for the 190s... I reckon that'll eclipse the AZ and at least match (and better on price) the Tamiya kit. None of that takes away from your great result.
