Gilbert_H Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 My three recently finished Messerschmitt Bf 109G's. Scale is 1/72, brush painted with enamels from Humbrol and Xtracolor, and a final coat of Humbrol Matt Cote.Black 1 is the kit from AZmodel (Bf 109G-1); White 21 is Hasegawa (Bf 109G-14); Yellow 6 is Revell (Bf 109G-10).Sorry, nothing from Airfix, though my next build will be a 1/48 Airfix Hurricane 😀/media/tinymce_upload/4d85d30bb9b47950146d1f415b4c7d64.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/7db03fdfdd059b3c493571929b9e853c.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/ad54dbd5c730f9a2b8f5db26ca9d47fc.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/5b6a5b43fda1b40f496b6cc5544998f7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Thomas Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Looks like you have made a really good job of that Spitfire, well done.But I give in on the code letters. This seems to be a special edition kit, so do the codes relate to Iron Maiden? They certainly don’t belong to any squadron that I can find for DR. If I’m reading them wrong and it’s OR, that would signify the Bomb Ballistic Unit, which could be unlikely. What do the instructions mention, if anything?

Dominic Thanks Dominic I shall check but I'd suspect they have no significance and the band went to the lengths to ensure they never diluted a real squadrons code/ensign as the singer Bruce Dickinson is a keen flyer/pilot he even went to the lengths of a mock up of multi bi plane ww1 dog fight over a festival I attended in 2014 all at his own expense was brilliant to be honest ,will post my finding shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_N88 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hi all,Only the second kit I have completed since getting back into modelling after not doing one in 20+ years, well, since I was a kid. Was worried about brushing an all gloss black A/C but think it came out ok. /media/tinymce_upload/38e26f29f2ea9f3f2f073ee54dd0b718.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was worried about brushing an all gloss black A/C but think it came out ok. That 72 Sqn machine looks really impressive. Well done. Looking at the far wing, the varnish looks very smooth - which one did you use, and which make of black did you use come to that?Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm using the Humbrol 01 Primer as base coat, seems to be working ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 First effort at smoke damage tried some rust wear but failed on wing joints an undercarriage wheel bayThat looks very good, well done. I like the shades of the desert camouflage you have used. I recently completed a P-40E with the Airfix acrylics and thought the mid stone was too yellow. Which paints did you use?We have the same floor btw :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
