Tokyo Raider Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Greetings Friends- Its been a while for me posting here. I had alot of health issues that stopped modelling. My cateracts getting worse, and so its hard to see. So in response, I decided on a simple all one-color project! Here is an Eduard 1/48 Bf109G10 in a NJG11 Night Fighter scheme in the Eduard kit. It was a splendid kit and built really great. This scheme is called a Mosquito Hunter and is all RLM76 with white markings and makes a cool looking model. As I said, I can't see very good, so I am sure there are areas I goofed up, but hey, it looks great to my bad eyes! I built this from box with the only modification being adding a CMK Bf109 pilot designed for the Eduard kit. This resin pilot was great and fit in easy! I wish Eduard would offer pilots for their kits as they offer everything else. A Pilot adds life to any model... Enjoy and let me know what you think! 40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I think l like that very much, and a pilot always adds to a model, good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Oh wow. That's super modelling, brilliant. I sympathise about the eyesight, it's a terrible affliction and an awful thing to lose. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that maybe surgery will help the cataracts. Regards Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventsislav Gramatski Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sad to hear about your condition, as someone with severe myopia and having to work all day in front of a monitor, I can related to the pain. Yet, that's a fantastic model you have there! Looks like a very clean build and excellent paint work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Excellent Gustav! Those subtle modulations of the paintwork really makes it come alive. I wonder how many Mossies they managed to bag, what with no radar and ditto operator to help out. Were the pilots depending on the searchlights on the flak towers? Best of luck with your operation! Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
