Defending the Reich...1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-14/AS, 2./JG300


Recommended Posts

#24/2021

Newest 109 by my dad, Eduard´s Wilde Sau Pt II Dual Combo I bought him for Father´s Day.
Built oob, added brake lines with plastic rods and lead wire. Antenna wires done with EZ Line, the slack is intended. When the mast was mounted on the canopy, the wire led through the mast into the canopy and was connected with the canopy locking system. Antenna was only tensioned when the pilot locked the canopy, or else he couldn´t open it completely.
Painted with MRP RLM74/75/76, fuselage band is painted too.
Since last year, Eduard produces new kind of decals. These behave like wet transfers, to say when they are dry you can remove (carefully) the carrier film. Or accidentally like my dad when he applied the washing, most of the carrier film came off.

Model shows the aircraft of Feldwebel Wolfgang "Lumpi" Hundsdörfer, serving with 2./JG300 in Reichsverteidigung, in September 1944.
He had a personal emblem on the fuselage, a dog with a B-17 in it´s mouth. Lumpi was his nickname, also a name for dogs. A part of his name, "Hund", is the German word for dog. At least that´s what I guess how he came to his nickname.

Superb! You've achieved my goal of perfect Luftwaffe camouflage! Now I know it can be done, at least by someone other than me.:worthy:

How did you accomplish the paint chips? Mine always look like silver paint.

Superb, do you display it on a diorama or plinth? Work that good should be seen in some sort of setting.

 

You've made a great job of the painting and weathering.
