Marklo Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Getting some RLM02 on the Emils Tamiya colour I think it’s a tad dark but it’ll do ( not as dark as it looks in the photo btw). I’m going to build up to primer in batches the Es then the G6s then the G10s. Then prime and paint them all together.

Marklo Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Made my semi annual pilgrimage to my nearest hobby shop and acquired a Mr Craft F so now there are ten plus the prototype and the Buchon. More to follow. I’m thinking of this as the scheme for the F. Edited June 14, 2021 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Started on the two remaining Emils Offices; Basic but enough detail for the small scale. I shan’t be super detailing anything in these builds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Progress on the Emils and V1. I’ll get these ready for primer then work on the F and the G-6s. My aim is to get all 12( I may add one or two more) to primer and preshade in batches then paint the camo together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) So I caved in and ordered some kits online, an S199 and a G14( oh and a Phantom for that GB) Both of which I’ll build in this thread. Now that makes 12 doesn’t it, but I’ve decided to make a TL Jaeger probably based on the Hasegawa G6, granted a paper project but an interesting one, so like V1 and the Bouchon I’ll run a separate thread for it, making a grand total of 14 109s yay.

Marklo Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Bought this in a moment of weakness at my local model shop. Shape looks ok but the molds are obviously very old and tired so a lot of fettling needed to get any kind of an acceptable fit. I’ve decided to build it Oob with one of the kit schemes an Italian plane based in Sicily in 1943 as it’s a slightly different take on a common scheme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Filler on the G4 looks much worse than it is. Annoyingly the canopy is of the F shape ( most manufacturers do this on 1/72 Gs) with the triangular window sections still in place. I have two more Mr Craft kits so I may build them next, which notwithstanding the rescribe needed on the heller k leaves only good kits after that. ( although the KP and the G14 in the post will both probably be dog rough) Anyway current state of play 5 of the 15 almost ready for primer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 My first attempt at resin casting. I now have a spare talk tail so I may make a G14 out of the mr craft G2 and use one of the italeri G6s for the Buchon, hmm or maybe just stick a tall tail on the italeri. A bit more progress hopefully these five will be ready for primer by the end of the week. Probably have a few more assembled by then too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 At the end of a hard days modelling in we now have six airframes in play. The mr craft G2 next 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Another day another 109. A bit more work on the TL Jaeger. Italeris next I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) The two italeri G6s and the Heller K( which has been converted back to a G6) now underway. Leaving the there G10s the S199 and the G14 to go ( the latter two are in the post). I’ll probably crack on with the G10s over the weekend if I get tha chance. Which reminds me, I will have a slew of unused Luftwaffe markings and swastikas after the build ( which I am never going to use) so if anyone would like a job lot of German decals PM me.

Marklo Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Today’s update wings and tails on everything ( except of course the ones in the post) the Bouchon still needs a nose and 11 more canopies to fit and mask 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Have decided that this is the Swiss scheme that the Heller K ( now a G6) will end up as. My two remaining kits arrived, a KP S199 and a Smer G14, neither great kits but the KP has raised rivets and panel lines which are quite delicate and look ok l, but will probably have to go, hmm quite a dilemma. The Avia will be IAF while I’ve found an interesting Luftwaffe scheme for the G14( no swastikas in fact all the national markings have been overpainted€ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 More interesting schemes That Swiss one is certainly rather wild! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 14 now underway the S199 joins the pack. The mr craft kit is a generic F/G and as such isn’t 100% correct for either. To get a better F the oil cooler is made shallower, the wheel wells are rounded and the fuel filler moved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) This is the scheme I’ll be doing the Avia in. Edited July 29, 2021 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 In today’s update from Messerschmitt works west, all 15 mostly assembled, filler on the Avia and the G14, the G2 is ready for primer and the TL Jaeger gets some ( slightly oversized) cannon blisters. The Heller K now a G6 gets some bulges, before getting a full rescribe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas in my modelling youth I would have done all of these in Luftwaffe unit markings, probably even doing two or more in similar schemes with different gruppen bars!

Marklo Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 These seem to have slipped into my shopping bag that makes a total of 16 109s. I can now do the Croatian, two Yugoslavian G10s and the Italian G6AS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Thought I’d pause a moment and take stock. The 16 will be finished as follows. 1. V1 from an Airfix e 2. E4 Spanish civil war 3. E4 Battle of Britain III/JG54 4. F2 captured scheme 5. G2 Italian desert scheme 6. G6 Hungarian 7. G6 Swiss 8. G6 Finnish 9. G10 Croatian 10. G10 captured Yugoslavian 11. G6AS Italian 12. G10 Yugoslavian green/grey 13. TL Jaeger 74/75/75 14. G14 late war Luftwaffe overpainted swastikas 15. S199 Israeli 16. Buchon dark blue scheme. Ok that makes the start of a clear plan. So far the TL Jaeger and the G2 are ready for primer with the Avia, V1 and the two Es not far behind.
