franky boy Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hi everyone I started this one for the Journey's End GB back in the summer and never managed to get it finished until recently. It's a pretty nice kit. It's typical Eduard in that why use one piece when you can break it down into 3 pieces but I'm happy with the end result. This was the Bunny Fighter Fighter Club boxing of this kit with an extra decal option for an A/C RLM 81 and 82 wrap around camo with replacement nose panels and bare metal under wing surfaces and a few extra bits of resin. The machine, yellow 7 152xxx, was discovered by US forces at Prague-Kbely in May 1945. It was part of 11./JG300 I used a generic Luftwaffe masking set for the national markings and masked the yellow 7 by hand with Tamiya tape. Paints were a mix of Hataka orange line, Mr Hobby and Tamiya. Weathering was created with pre shading, Flory Models dark dirt wash and oils. Hope you like it. 9364AC43-D25A-4394-8867-EFE910EB007B by James Halls, on Flickr 68117D3B-E46E-4540-AC51-1F98540E5BD7 by James Halls, on Flickr A8BC1AEC-D83B-4837-AC22-B227E8D11BBD by James Halls, on Flickr 2C24D751-2445-48F2-8DD0-AB0AAD0F1649 by James Halls, on Flickr I used Tamiya LP11 for the underwing bare metal. 7804A01C-F064-4360-A463-F774472B3A97 by James Halls, on Flickr And a couple with it's FW190A stable mate. Also built for the Journeys End GB and also an Eduard kit. I think tbh the nicest Eduard kit I've built for a while with the exception maybe of their line of Spitfire Mk VIII and IX's EF6B5B16-3150-444B-9601-C1664425D070 by James Halls, on Flickr A7850E47-6B64-41F6-867C-60736A642FB7 by James Halls, on Flickr Thanks for looking. Questions and comments welcome. James 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RLM81 is Hataka orange line. A tricky colour to nail down I believe. 12 hours ago, Gary Brantley said: Very sweet! 🍨 That is some fine scale modeling James and quite a striking 109! Is that 1/48? Thanks Gary. It’s 1/48 scale. Sorry forgot to mention that. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 That's a cracking build of both kit's James agree about Eduard's over-engineering sometimes but they are beautiful kits,I'm sure my Revell 1/32 G10 shares the same scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Roman. Yes i agree. They make great modelling subjects. I’m trying to pluck up the courage to have a go at the Hobbyboss FW-d13 yellow 10 next. We’ll see?

usetherudders Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Very nice, still reckon the G10 is the best looking of the 109's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the later versions with the tall tail and Erla canopy are my favourites too. Especially with some of the interesting camo schemes.
