Seamus Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Evening all, Hot off the bench is build number 11 for the year, the lovely little Tamiya 1/72 Bf109E-4. Finished with Hataka Orange Line paints as usual, I added some Eduard seat belts whilst the main markings come from an Xtradecal sheet, otherwise it's OOB. W&N Galeria Matt varnish to finish.

Vinnie Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Excellent 109, Shaun. Very nice paintwork. I'll have to give the Hataka Orange line a try. Looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingBagpipe Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Stunning, how do you get the yellow so bright and pristine. I'm fairly new to this and messed up the yellow painting on my last german aircraft build. Do you paint it white first and then yellow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Wow! That result is something I will continue to aspire to, even if I can't quite get there. I'm very much the Emil fan too, which is another inspiration. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Beautiful! I've got one of these in my stash... currently working on Hasagawa Bf-109G's... they're really nice kits. Can't wait to see how the Tamiya one stacks up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Excellent! So clean and well painted, just the right amount of weathering to make the details stand out but not have the aircraft look filthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 You're producing some really nice stuff Seamus. Really like the subdued weathering. Please keep them coming. That Tamiya kit looks like a real gem - need to pick up a couple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dog Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Simply Georgeous. Stunning build and paint job on a small scale model. Fabulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Lovely little model. The excellent paintwork is clear to see on such good quality photos, superb mate. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 That's a very fine model... I keep getting tempted to try one of the "bigger" scales, when I see some of the photos on here, but then I see things like this and realise it's my skill that's the limiting factor, not the size! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to base yellow with white, but since I changed to Hataka Orange Line there's no longer any real need- here I simply sprayed the yellow first over Tamiya Fine Grey Primer, building the opacity up gradually with no problems whatsoever.

Sky Keg Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Well done Shaun and equally impressive is that your 109 is number 11 on the year. It`s not difficult to see that you have spent your down time most wisely!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
