Adam Poultney Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 I'm definitely on a 109 streak at the moment, finishing my second in quick succession. This is Eduard's 1/72 Bf109G-5 from the Gustav Pt.1 limited edition set, which contains parts for two models (both can be built as a G-5 or G-6), 14 decal options, etch parts and canopy masks. As with my first build of this kit (an F-2: link to RFI here), I found it to be excellent quality with almost no need for any filler or even cleaning up seams. It helps that the 109 has prominent seams along the top and bottom of the fuselage in reality, so those are intentionally left visible. The whole model has excellent surface detailing as can be seen from this WIP photo: The only problem was the prop's pin was short. I took a spare from another eduard 109 which used a different prop. I chose this time to model it with the flaps up, since I did the F-2 with them down. Painting is a mix of Hataka, Ammo and Vallejo for different RLM colours. The squiggle pattern was brush painted, with most of the rest being airbrush work. Two Eduard 109s: WIP thread here: 47 1

georgeusa Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 Good looking 109 and a very unique paint scheme that is done well. Thanks for sharing. 1
Nerazzurri Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 Really nice Adam. Fetching scheme too. How were the brushed lines to do? Never tried one myself, but I'd maybe give some kind of paint pen a go for that 🤔 don't know. Lovely build 🏆

I used paint thinned more than I usually would, applied with a thin brush. I enjoyed painting the scheme but I'm not rushing to do another like it. 1 1
Hairy Stickler Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 I'm not a great 109 fan but that is a super job (I particularly like the paint scheme - patience and, as you say, planning). Thanks very much for sharing Best regards Peter 1
