Torbjorn Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Watching the paint dry on the F-4s got tiresome so I decided to take on my last unbuilt AZ Messerschmitt. It’s a boxing containing these: ...but I will make use of some Xtradecal sheets I have so that money wasn’t all wasted. One of the G-6s seen here, provably the one flown by a man named Kahler: The AZ kit contains parts to do a G-5, G-6, G-8 or G-14, with several different options of tanks and armament, making the sprues look busy: I have already finished the cockpit: Oops, a terrible photo, but I’m sure you’ve seen it before anyway. It’s very nicely detailed, I’d consider having an open canopy if I had any vac-forms. And my sandpaper is apparently RLM02 if Vallejo is correct. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 A good start on this one. Although colour-matched sandpaper is certainly dedication to the cause! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jes Thank you, this I hadn’t noticed. Will have to figure out what to do about that. It is anyhow time for an involuntary break - I cannot find the airscoop. I glued the two parts together, put the piece on the middle of the desk, thought ”I’ll have to be careful or I’ll lose this” and now I’ve lost it. The other pieces I’ve put together. It’s very similar to AZ models’ F kits, just slightly more refined: for example, as opposed ti the F boxing this one has grilles for the underwing intakes. Too bad I didn’t read the instructions or I could’ve added them 😕 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touvdal Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 You can get the camera flaring from Airwaves Cheers Jes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently the Special Hobby Finnish G6 contained an unused airscoop just the size I needed for this. Summa summarum, she’s prepped for the paintshop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Finished painting. Have to practice mottling, not my favourite task. I believe I should invest in a smaller needle. Currently drying gloss varnish. I knocked off the pitot tube and one aileron balance weight, as usual. Wish they could include at least one extra on the sprues. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Finished, pics in the gallery. I had missed that the dark gray of the fuselage cross had to be painted, so had to go back and repaint a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
