Adam Poultney Posted January 1 Posted January 1 This is my last build of 2024 and first completion of 2025, being build over New Years in the Inaugural New Year Blitzbuild. It's a newly released 1/144 Beacon Models Bf109E-7/Trop. Alongside the Spitfire, Beacon have just released 10 new reboxes with new decals to cover all the variants the plastic accounts for. Previously both kits were only available in a double set together, so the separate releases are very welcome. I got the whole new range through the Kickstarter to fund it, so I've got models for a few years worth of Blitzbuilds! I decided to do a Trop for this build. I've always found trop schemes interesting so choosing this one for the first build was an easy choice. If you aren't familiar with Blitzbuilds, the premise is that you have 24 hours to start and finish a kit. Choosing the scheme with a mismatched wing was perhaps not the smartest decision for a blitzbuild, given that I'd have to more or less paint the camo twice. I'm always up for a challenge in a blitzbuild though! For a sense of scale: Link to the WIP: Links to some of my previous Beacon Models builds: Bf109E-4 Spitfire Mk.1a Bf109E-3a from last year's Christmas Blitzbuild 20
Adam Poultney Posted January 1 Author Posted January 1 I will probably revisit this one later and add some weathering, and clean up the canopy a little. In the blitzbuild good enough is good enough!
Darwinism Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Great work Adam! I love the mismatched wings - what a great idea.
