1/72 AZ Model Messerschmitt Bf-109 G10 (Erla) "Cap. Ugo Drago, ANR"


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

That's impressive, considering it's 1/72!  Excellent paint work and weathering make it realistic.  👌
