Randy Lutz Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hi all I would like to present yet another Emil. This model is a BF 109E-4/B flown by Leutnant Friedrich Wempe, of 6/Jagdgeschwader 77, in Russia, July 1941 If you have not figured it out by now, I really like the Tamiya 109E's. The following was done to the model. 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 - ETC500 bomb rack added from Eduard Bf 109E 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, X205 Dunklegrun RLM 71 and X213 Gelb RLM04 - all markings are from Eagle Strike 48-146 Barbarossa 3 The Invasion of Russia 1941 - model is weathered with chalk pastels Cheers and thanks for looking Randy 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangor Lad Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think it's already been said but you don't often see a 109 in this scheme. Very nice build and a lovely clean finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Hey Georgie Boy Thanks a lot. Ya, I hope to see you and the guys this year, but I am not optimistic. I have a choice of five 109's to pick from for any show that might be on. They are stacked up like flights over Newfoundland on 9/11. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
