Giampiero Piva Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 The Brengun kit is quite good, but I preferred to 'exchange' the fuselage and wing underside with the corresponding parts of an old Tamiya; in any case it is necessary to engrave the brakes on the wing upper side, extend the wing under the radiators, and add 4 hinges to the ailerons. Set Aires for the interior, some modifications and additions to the oil cooler and the undercarriage, MG17 Aber and our T is practically finished. The aircraft represented is a T-2 of 13./JG 77, operating from Stavanger-Sola in September 1941. A word about the pilot: Lieutenant Alfred Jakobi had the honor, on 8 September 1941, of being, together at the Uffz. Woite, the first German pilot to shoot down a B-17. The camo scheme, as always given exclusively by brush, is in the classic RLM 74/75/76; note the nose panel in 74 (probable replacement) and the fact that the 'white 4', like other T's, has the sides of the fuselage lightened by a haze of 76. The undersides Hope you like it. Thanks for your attention. Criticisms and suggestions welcome. Giampiero Piva 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaK_Wagen Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Nice results. Paint job - superb for a brush. I like the scratch built elements and merging wings between kit manufacturers. But I don't like one thing - you closed the cockpit, while exposing the superb Aires resin would be very easy at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Outstanding painting. You demonstrate that airbrushing can be successfully avoided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianK Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Giampiero, great work as usual! One question: Your clear parts always seem so very transparent. Do you do anything special to them (Polishing/Thinning/Future?) or is the lighting in your photos? Or a combination of different things? Cheers, Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I only wish I could use the airbrush as effectively as you use the paintbrush. My German camo skills are nowhere near your brush painting skills. My 10 gal. hat is off to you for such a great 109. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) What a great example of crosskitting! I have both kits and I never thought of doing what you have done.The replacement panel in mismatched paint really adds a touch of realism. Well done, G! Mike Maybe Special Hob by will get around to one at some point! Edited October 22, 2023 by 72modeler corrected spelling, added text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
