Hasegawa Bf109G-10? II. / JG52. May 1945


Recommended Posts

I've been working on improving my model photography lately. I figured while the stuff is set up I'll snap shots of older builds that haven't been RFI'd before, or at least think so. Hopefully this is allowable because I have a few more coming.

 

This is Hasegawa 1/48 Bf109G-10. Other than swapping the tail with a Hasegawa Bf109G-6, it's out of the box. I have a real shine for the Hasegawa 109s. They're a quick and easy build and look like a 109 when done. Or at least close enough for me. 

 

This plane was poorly photographed after the surrender. It's a later model 109 with an early style short tail and segmented spinner. The previous theater markings and I believe tactical number were painted over. All that combined the Luftflotte 4 yellow cowling and rudder really appeals to me. I thought it was a cool Frankenstein of a 109. I call it my Franken-nine. I guessed at the colors and marking. Please be kind, this was built years before the current wave of research surfaced.

This kit, like most of my older builds was finished with a mix of Aeromaster, Floquil and Modelmaster enamels. Weathering was done old school with pastels and a mix of washes and spatters of a Pollyscale color called Dirt. 

 

That's it for now. Hope you like it.

Lovely work. It’s always good to see some older builds making a rare appearance out of the cabinet especially when they’re as nice as this one.
 

Keep em coming!

First of all - I like your model very much! :goodjob: It looks great! :D

 

I must admit, that sometimes in the past I got bogged down with too much research, and therefore didn't get anything built, so I decided to cut down on the research bit and build just for fun. :winkgrin:

 

Keep up the good job! :D

 

Cheers :bye:

PS I still don't get much built, but that is a tale for another day! :winkgrin:

It's improving Ron!

Just a neutral background really helps, and the lighting is good, that subtle soft light which is very flattering.

 

Lovely 109 as well,  it's one of those flown into Neubiberg in May 1945 when JG52 flew in to surrender to the Americans, and as such there are quite a few photos.

:goodjob:

 

Cheers
