Redshift Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Hi folks, it's been a bit of a weird summer, so I hope you are all keeping well. Here is a beech and mahogany Bf109 G-6 in 1/48 scale. Took me quite a while to do this one, I started full of enthusiasm then quickly lost my way as I got the underside of the nose wrong. It languished on the table in a pile of sawdust and despair for a few months while I gathered the momentum to finish it. For a plane that looks like it was designed only with straight edges it was surprisingly hard to get it to look correct; the machine gun blisters were also a right pain to get symmetrical. Anyway, I'm glad I persevered as I think it came out OK in the end. Thanks for viewing, hope you like it Nick Edited September 18, 2021 by Redshift Un-fudged the urls 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I didn't know Beech built Bf 109's ! Teak it from me it's a really good representation. Ash anyone on here and they'll agree Elm totally convinced of that. Oak-ay I'll stop now before you get sycamore of my dreadful humour.
