starfighter84 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Good evening to all! this is my last work from the Eduard's Bf.109 G-6 kit (converted to G-14 standard - all the parts you need are already in the box). This particular Gustav was the personal aircraft of Maj. Mario Bellagambi of the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, during march 1945. Aftermarkets used: Brassin cockpit and wheels. Eduard PE set. Quickboost propeller and corrected spinner. STORMO! decals. Master guns & pitot. Fuselage/upper wings balkenkreuz and yellow 1 masked and painted with self made mask, camo painted with Gunze Sangyo paints. Hope you'll enjoy. Cheers from Rome! 🤙 Valerio.

dov Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hallo You got it perfect! The camo is sprayed as it should, with a soft edge, not pin sharp. How did you achieve it? Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camo is sprayed as it should, with a soft edge, not pin sharp. How did you achieve it? Happy modelling Thank you for the appreciations Dov. To apply the mottles I thinned the Gunze Sangyo (the acrylic version) paints at 80% with nitrocellulose thinner (I use a normal nitro thinner for the bricolage works, I buy it in my local hardware store), but if you have the Mr.Color Thinner you can use it. I setted the air pressure to 0,5/0.6 bar. The airbrush that I normally use is an Iwata HP-CH with 0.3 needle. If you have any other questions... I'm here!

dov Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hallo To apply the mottels, I got it. But the camo outline on the wing: How did you achieve this soft outline? Freehand or vertical distance of mask? Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy modelling I've made some masks with my cutting plotter, one of this for the wings leading edge. I've applied it on the model using two or three little "balls" of Patafix. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the wings I used the Patafix (or UHU Tac) technique... no freehand or cardboard masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saluti Linus Thank you..! Hai trovato la foto di Bellgambi seduto nel cockpit dove si vede il "francobollo" verniciato al contrario? è a pagina 164 del libro "Caomouflage and Markings of ANR" di D'Amico e Valentini.
