Bf109G-14 "Black 10" (Picture heavy)

Yes sir I did. I used a 1/48 scale PE mottle mask set. They work ok but if I had it all over to do again I would have had a less hard edge on the mottles. I'm not brave enough to free hand something like this yet but I'm getting there.

Thanks Andrew. There are things I wished I could go back and change but who doesn't think stuff like that? lol

Simply stunning!!!!  Wow, beautiful work.

Not a problem Greg.

Thanks, Joe. Duly noted and recorded this time.

Thanks Greg. I first coat them with a rattle can Model Master metalizer paint followed by a thinned down rust acrylic and then use a coat of Mig productions dark wash. Lastly I use ground up black pastel just to deaden the finish. So far its been workin' for me.

Joe, I don't know how I managed to miss this thread last fall. What a great job you did! The detail is mouth-watering.

Could you refresh my memory.... what color or color recipe do you use for your engine exhausts? They always look so spot on. (I think you told me once, can't find my note).

Yes sir!  Big and beautiful!! 

That's a really nice plane. Great job.

It's looking like its getting to be 109 GB time again!

Right now its got its hooks deep into me. Hell everything I build is Luftwaffe just about!

Yeah....I got another one in my near future too...I'm thinking maybe the Eduard E-3 I have in the stash.  The Luftwaffe bug bites me quite often.  

Joe

Thanks alot lawdog! Looking like another 109 build later next year. Eying that Eduard 1/48 G-6!!

What a beaut.....  Thanks for posting..

Joe

Looking forward to it blackdog.

Joe,

  I am humbled into submission by this build.  WOW!  Makes me want to give up and cry, when I look at my pitiful planes.   Fantastic job.

John

I have stsrted the build but I'm spending more time trying to pics to the forum. I have photobucket set up just gota get the rest figured out.

Ill get them posted soon as I can.

Thanks blackdog! Can't wait to see some building out of you in the GB!!

Thanks Lyle. The mask was an Eduard mask for 1/48 scale 109s.

My goodness, Mustang. Hard to believe that is a 'first-timer'. Love the detail and weathering. I also like the idea of a mask for the mottle effect. May have to try that one.

Lyle.

Thanks leemitcheltree! I'm building away and having a blast! Currently building an Fw 190 D-9.

Dude...that looks great!  Use all those things you learned and make ANOTHER beautiful model...and send lots of pics!

Thanks, mate

Thanks woodspider! Looking forward to pics of your builds.

I am speechless..wow what a job.....ok I'm going to get off my ass and do some building...beautiful job sir.

Thanks there Mississippi!

Super nice build!
