Tamiya Bf109E-4/n Black 3

That is one well worn Emil and very well done.  I applaud the wheels up and pilot in the seat.  The pics were so clear, no way to hide the warts.......if there were any.

I can't imagine Libya 1941 to be easy on aircraft :) As for the magnets, there's a single 8mm on the top of the rod and inside are 2 stacked 12mm magnets. The top colors are actually RLM71 and RAF Dark Earth (instead of RLM 2). I'll have to do another with the proper colors to get a proper review ;)

But yeah, seriously, if anyone is interested I'll sell it for $80 shipped.

That is one knackered 109,  but does look cool.

Also brilliant display idea with the magnets - I take it there a strip of actual metal in the fuselage, with the magnet being located in the rod?

I wonder if the top colours are off due to AK introducing 'Color Reduction Factor' in their paint mixes?

Jack

Thanks Lion! I used AK's new Luftwaffe set for the most part but there wasn't a good match for the 71 for Black 3 in there. Instead I used Dark Earth from the RAF set. You're right about the contrast being low...

$80 :D

How much? LOL!

I think it is stunning.

Hey guys it's for sale, too, if anyone's interested. :D

Beautiful finish!   Like the presentation too.

Very cool!

Magnets. :D

Very clever. I've recently seen online the use of magnets in Warhammer builds, but never thought of them for displays like this.

Really nice! I like the extensive weathering.

Brillant!  This is a great looking 109.  Thanks for sharing.  =]  I love seeing my builds with the gear up.  So far I have been drilling holes to insert a brass rod.  I do like how this turns out, but I haven't considered magnets before.  Just goes to show ya. Might have to look into that.  =]

Magnets. :D

Very very nice! The weathering and paint job look awesome!

How have you attached the stand? I can't see any holes in the underside of the model.
