Roman Schilhart Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my 1/72 AZ Model Bf-109 G10 Erla in markings of II. Gruppo Caccia ANR, in Aviano, early 1945. This aircraft was flown by Cap. Ugo Drago, Italy's third most successful Italian fighter pilot of World War II (25 victories). I built with Brengun photo-etch, Rob Taurus vacu, Master gun barrels and pitot tube and Sky Models decals. Photos by Wolfgang Rabel. For the color scheme, I refered to Eduard's instructions of their 48 scale kit (82164). The model was painted with Mr.Hobby acrylics. The markings were cobbled together from various sources - the Balkenkreuze are from the AZ Model box, the Italian flags and "Black 7" from Sky Models ("German Aircraft in Italy", SKY 72-024). The Werknummer (491 353) is not included and was taken from Print Scale's "Bf-109 Kurfürst (72-145)" sheet containing individual serial numbers which I painstakingly applied one by one. Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. 50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Roman, you and Wolfgang make an impressive team together. His photography skills match that of your`s when building model replicas. And as Jean has stated, “Excellent……….as usual!!!!!” Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Very nice. I wonder how you achieved the wavy line edge to the main wing leading edge. Do you make up a mask of some sort? Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your interest, Smudge! I used a self-fabricated mask by cutting a wavy line on Tamiya tape, then sticking it to the wing leading edges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 That sounds like a good idea. The result is very effective. I'll have to try it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VG 33 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Hi Roman I love this one too from Northern Italy. How did you made the wavy line on the leading edge of the wings? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
