Zigomar Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Good evening. This will be the first of a serie of 109 from the G-6 AS to the soon to come K, as I felt the need to update my old Hasegawa collection. The Eduard model will be used throughout to have the same family look, but I was very tempted to try the Vector conversion, and the Zvezda model is a real gem of its own, but often underated by modelers, which is a real pity. The Vector conversion comes with nearly everything you need but with no instructions. So a lot of dry fitting was used before using glue. The plane was riveted, Ultracast wheels came to the rescue and Master pitot and MGs noses replaced the kit's one. The deco is given by Eduard in its G-10 WNF set but I used masks for a better look. Fuselage crosses are a bit oversized like on the real plane. Signs of the previous owner are painted over, from the II/JG51, and markings of the II/JG52 have been applied. So 109 boffins, stay tuned and thanks for looking.

Roman Schilhart Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Beautiful model, and great choice of markings. I have a special interest in II./JG52 as they were based in Austria, in 1945. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sometimes between two gales and showers of rain, we have beautiful colors with real sunshine! You are mostly welcome if you want some fresh Ocean air!
