1/48 Eduard bf 109 G 5 AS

[Manu]

Hi guys,

 

stuck in my house, I’ve started the excellent BF 109 G 6 AS from Eduard in 1/48. My goal is to build the G 5 AS of Gunther Specht.

 

 

The well detailed cockpit is painted in Schwarzgrau RLM 66 from Akan. The tint is too dark to stay like that but i’ll use it as an undercoat.

 

 

Then i’ve airbrushed RLM 76 to highlight some areas.

 

 

Finally, a higly diluted mix of Akan RLM 66 and white is airbrushed over the surfaces playing with transparencies.

 

 

Details are painted and dark washes are applied. Some chipping is made with an aluminium crayon. A little bit of earth pigments are applied on the rudder pedals and marching areas.

 

 

 

I really enjoy that build for the moment.

 

Cheers, 🍻

 

Manu.

Hi guys,

 

Cockpit is done, and assembly is perfect.

 

 

The Specht aircraft seems to be a prototype tested on the battlefied. There are specicities that don't exist on a G 5.

 

 

 

There is a little air intake just in front of the windshield.

 

 

 

The armement plate on the hood has a strang shape.

 

 

 

The drop tank is profiled.

 

 

Cheers, 🍻
