Spanish Bf 109E-3


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

This is another model I finished last year.  It represents the Bf 109E-3 flown by Oberleutnant Hans Schmoller-Haldy of 3/Jagdgruppe 88, in Spain during March 1939.

 

I keeping with my minimalist approach to modelling, I did the following to the kit.

 

Fuselage

 

-               kit seat replaced with Ultracast seat

-               antenna wire made from stretched sprue

-               upper cowl intake opened

-               cowl gun barrels replaced with Master brass barrels

-               engine starter crank opening and lift points drilled out

-               kit propeller and spinner replaced with Ultracast resin parts

-               exhaust replaced with Ultracast resin exhaust

 

Wings

 

-               wing gun barrels replaced with Master brass barrels

-               kit wheels replaced with Ultracast resin wheels

-               tail planes modified to eliminate the anhedral

 

Paint and Decals

 

-               airframe painted with Xtracolor  X202 Hellblau RLM 65, X201 RLM 02 Grau and Model Master Classic White

-               all markings are from Cutting Edge 48-215 Bf 109E The Augsburg Zoo

-               model is weathered with chalk pastels
