Roman Schilhart Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my first completed model of the year, the 1/72 AZ Model Bf-109 G-14AS "new tool 2020". No changes have been made to the external shape and dimensions, but the interior parts have been modified for a much better fit. Both the cockpit/fuselage and the wing/fuselage joints are much easier to assemble, literally 'klicking in place'. The boxing of the G-14AS is identical to the contents of a G-10 kit. That means it is not entirely correct, as the G-14AS had two filler caps relocated. Previous boxings of AZ's G-14AS included additional decals for these hatches. Unfortunately this has been omitted on the new release, and I had to plunder one of their older boxings to replace them. As usual three marking options are included, of which I chose "Black 3" of 5./JG27, flown by Lt. Schmitt, in Schwerin-Görres/Germany, April 1945. I slightly diverted from the paint instructions by spraying the underside of the wings in Aluminium, common with late-war Bf-109s. I also added the long-stroke tail wheel (shown on the box art, but not suggested in the instructions). To enhance the 'scale appearance' I replaced the plastic pilot headrest, cooling flaps, Morane mast and antenna with photo-etch parts. The pitot tube is a metal item from Master, DF loop is made from wire. The model was painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics and weathered with artists oils. All photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. Thank you for your interest, best greetings from Vienna! Roman 52 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A very nice start to the year Roman. I swore never to buy another AZ Bf109 after multiple disappointments with them but your builds always make me reconsider that, you should be on commission from them Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Roman, you have mastered the famed Bf-109 series of combat aircraft. The complex camouflage pattern is done to perfection and the weathering completes this outstanding work of art all in 72nd scale no less. A standing ovation is in order!!!!!!

Luis Alfonso Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi My Friend Roman!!! Congratulations for this last gem added to your shelves full of masterpieces!!! I was watching this beauty and enjoyed the way you have painted this bird, as seem you have been back to make your favorite subject… liked a huge lot the paint and the fine weathering …nice job!!! The silver paint was making me think if there were any silver Messerschmitt 109 any time… and think have read in any place about an all silver machine that was used to catch recon aircraft…will look for info again as watching this beauty in silver will be a one of a kind. Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
