Bf 109 E-4: from the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain GB

Good evening,

 

here is my take on the Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 flown by Franz von Werra of JG 3, and eventually shot down on British soil during the Battle of Britain. Not very original, but I like the paint scheme.

This is the 1/72 Airfix kit, built OOB (with the exception of PE belts and scratchbuilt cockpit sides.)

After looking at photos of the plane, I decided that the RLM 02 was quite dark as it showed little contrast with the RLM 71. In addition the contact between both colors was wavy on the wings. I have attempted to reproduce this pattern, and that is a nice change from the straight splinter patterns usually displayed.

Here are a few photos. Thank you for watching.
