Jay Gee Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Hello all, Here is one of my latest models, the Tamiya Me-109G6 straight out of the box (apart from EZ line for the antennae wire) and painted with Vallejo Model Air paints, in one of the colour options from the kit 9/JG54. The kit went together brilliantly. The only issue I had was working with the Vallejo paints when trying to spray the Luftwaffe mottle. I usually use enamels and have been moving into acrylic lacquers, so I found these a little temperamental. What I did like was the 3 part decal for the spinner spiral. When I stuffed up my Eduard Fw-190 spinner decal, I ended up cutting another one in three which made it a lot easier. Anyway on with the photos. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Looks great! Lovely little kit isn't it? I just finished one myself in the same scheme, I wish it had turned out so nicely. Lovely filling and rescribing job you've done on the underside wing join. What vallejo colours did you use in the end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Very smart work. The mottle looks fine to me, despite the acrylic difficulties. It took me ages to learn how to spray acrylics rather than enamels, but I would never go back now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What vallejo colours did you use in the end? Thanks for the kind words, it is a great little kit. I used the Vallejo Model Air RLM colours 71.128 Grey Violet (RLM75) 71.046 Pale Blue (RLM76) and 71.054 Dark Grey Blue (RLM74) with 50/50 mix of airbrush thinner 71.061.

Pete Robin Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Looks like you've done justice to a nice little kit. The camo is very convincing. I never did get the hang of airbrushing anything and I couldn't paint for toffee with acrylic paint either. So well done for mastering that. Regards Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
