DaveJL Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Eduard Bf-109E7 Tropical in the markings of Jagdgeschwader (JG)27, based at An-el-Gazala airfield in Libya in 1941 and flown by Ludwig Franzisket, who would go on to shoot down 24 aircraft over North Africa. Franzisket was shot down by Spitfires of the RAF on 29th October 1942, breaking his leg when striking the tail after bailing out. He would go on to command JG.27 and finish the war with 43 victories. He died in 1988. Built completely OOB, the build thread is below: Paints are from MRP and as usual, went on flawlessly. With my earlier E4: Thanks for looking and stay safe Dave 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Excellent looking '09, close to perfection! IMHO the dark green splotches look maybe a bit too soft edged, and an antenna would dot the i. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I do like that Dave, now I've seen it on a decent sized screen, I reckon the soft edges to the green mottles work well with the sand colour to give a nice impression of dustiness, as these aircraft must have looked at times.
