The Production line. All sixteen done


Recommended Posts

resized_f60c387f-6a33-41b9-bc50-0e59cb0aGetting 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.

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.

 

88e3b804-1b66-4b58-9622-8174476985a3.jpeI’m thinking of this as the scheme for the F.

  • Marklo changed the title to The Production line 9( make that 10, added an F) 109s and not a hakencruz in sight.
  • 4 weeks later...

resized_2bf76450-a287-4ee5-a68b-ba904c71Progress 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.

  • Marklo changed the title to The Production line 10( make that 11, added an Avia, and separately a TL Jaeger) 109s and not a hakencruz in sight.

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 changed the title to The Production line 10( make that 11, well 12, added another G, an Avia, and separately a TL Jaeger) 109s and not a hakencruz in sight.

resized_70c15e3a-c2b4-4853-9c1d-80990ff4Bought 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.

 

resized_879d6e22-59fc-4c2f-ab37-400c342fI’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.

resized_aca1f4df-870e-4aad-bf94-6ebc2a07Filler 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.

resized_c5174ae4-8b6b-45ea-a611-ed93137dMy 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.

 

resized_a9bea531-070b-460e-a3cb-80996dcfA 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.

resized_d2185d6b-5808-435f-9b0a-694bcc9bThe 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.

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€

resized_7ad691a3-33f7-4174-9227-7e2a332d14 now underway the S199 joins the pack.

 

resized_6251fa8f-264d-402b-b98b-b3b9bfeaThe 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.

resized_2f7df8bf-9c48-42d0-a397-6974d759In 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 :(

Loving all these nutty schemes

I do tend to favour the eclectic these days. 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 changed the title to The Production line 10 ( did I say 12 er 13, added another and a G10 G, an Avia, and separately a TL Jaeger) 109s and not a hakencruz in sight.

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.
