Bf-109 G-2 - Trumpeter - 1/32

[Marco]

Hi!

 

I started building this 1/32 109 G-2.

 

 

 

I won´t use the kit decals. Instead, I got hold of a beautiful sheet from FCM Decals for Trautloft´s aircraft.

I build all the interior components and primed them with black primer.

 

 

 

 

I left the engine unpainted (it´s going to be covered) and painted all the rest with Gunze and soem details with Vallejo.

 

 

The PE parts are excelent.

 

 

 

The kit has imperfections, but it is loaded with nice things. Everything here comes in the box.

Then I closed the sides and the engine covers.

 

 

The sides fit very well. The engine covers are OK except for a little gap at the front.

This kit is famous for its undernourished tail.

 

Here is how it compares to 1/32 plans:

 

 

So some plastic surgery is required. I cut plastic card more or less to the size and stuck it on.

 

 

Later on I´ll cover it with putty and sand it to shape.

 

Going to get rid of the silly engraved lines and work on the big ribs.

 

Thanks for passing by!
