Redboost 4,500 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hey fellow modellers, this is a recent quick build off my workbench, the 109 in the 'proper' colors:-) The kit itself is here for quite a long time now, but it is still a pleasure build. The markings for MT-213 were sourced of a Techmod decal sheet. She wore the 'warpaint' colors and in April 1944 belonged to 1/HLeLv24, flown by Ilmari Juutilainen.

jackroadkill 1,455 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Very smart indeed. I love it in the Finnish scheme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Val_Ukraine 386 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Perfect work Libor! Nice to see her in the Finnish dress! Edited October 25, 2020 by Val_Ukraine 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Vinnie 2,214 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Lovely modelling, Libor. I didn't know that Finland had 109s in their air force. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SAT69 2,476 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Excellent build. I do like the subtle weathering. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A fantastic job on this build, thank you for sharing! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
109 fan 2,248 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Another beautiful 109, Libor! Can you tell us what colors you used (I'm assuming Gunze)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
72modeler 6,711 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Beautiful model, Libor, and in my favorite scheme for a G-2! The riveting job is amazing, too! I am curious- I noticed you highlighted the fuselage seams and the one that runs from the wing to the tailwheel on the underside, but not the one that ruins off-center from the cockpit to the fin on the spine.

Sky Keg 1,913 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Outstanding Libor. I am envious of the quality that you are able to produce. It`s a very convincing replica of the famed Bf-109. Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Natter 3,166 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 A super model. I always like the way your models' weathering is subtle and the colours perfectly modulated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Gunze Aqueous: base shades are H320 and H77 with RLM65 underneath. 7 hours ago, 72modeler said: I am curious- I noticed you highlighted the fuselage seams and the one that runs from the wing to the tailwheel on the underside, but not the one that ruins off-center from the cockpit to the fin on the spine. Mike Right, I do it on my 109 models in this way, since I just do not like that line on the spine:-) Instead, I put there a rivet line. Thanks everyone for comments, much appreciated!

Hobo 317 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Yet another beauty Libor. Always look forward to your new builds. What riveter do you use and what do you use for a guide? Any chance this will appear in a magazine? Thanks for sharing your builds! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Navy Bird 17,787 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Great job, Libor. As usual, you've created an amazing replica. And thanks for the tip on the Gunze colours for the Finnish camo - that may come in handy on an upcoming Brewster Buffalo project. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance this will appear in a magazine? Thanks for sharing your builds! I use Rosie the Riveterer, the smallest wheel, I work freehand, only for extremely long lines I use Dymo type as a guide. I guess the basic technique could be found described online as well. Bill, good luck with your Buffalo and take care! Cheers Libor Link to post Share on other sites
