Airfix 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7


Recommended Posts

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7 flown by Oberleutnant Joachim Müncheberg, 7./JG 26, Gela/Sicily, March, 1941.

 

This is from a recently purchased 'Dogfight Double' boxing which includes a Spitfire Vb.

Built as per box except for a mod to correct u/c length and correction to the opening part of the canopy to better represent an E-7, and some diy cockpit enhancements.  Tamiya and AK acrylics.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone.

Great model nicely finished. Very effective scenic backdrop.

The photos were a bit of a struggle as they were done at night on my desk with a daylight lamp for lighting.

The backdrop is a photo of the actual site of Gela airfield, Sicily, from Google maps street view.

Well done. I've never got the hang of aerial insulators

Just some shaped blobs of Kristal Klear then painted.

Superb considering it’s Airfix!

Its a good one from Airfix. Only issues I had were the overly long undercarriage legs which I corrected and a slightly poor fit of the cannon ports in the wing leading edges.
