Messerschmitt Bf 109E-7/B


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

This is my most recently completed model.  It had been languishing in a painted state for a couple of years, so it feels good to get it out of the way.

 

Like my other Tamiya 109s, I only did the following 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

-               ETC50 bomb rack and SC50 bombs 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, X201 RLM 02 Grau , X205 Dunklegrun RLM 71 and X213 Gelb RLM04

-               all markings are from Aero Master 48-248 Marauding Emils Part 3

-               model is weathered with chalk pastels

Very nicely done. You have a lot going on there and it all hangs together very well. 👍

Thanks Greg. It is a scheme I had wanted to do for a long time, but I had to wait until I came up with the bomb rack.

If there wasn`t a blue background to the pictures, I would be convinced that your 109 was ready for a mission.  Just superb results!!!! :clap2:

Much appreciated.  I would like to try photographing my models in a natural setting to see how they look.

 

Cheers
