This is my latest, Tamiya's 1:48 109 E3 marked out as Stephen Litjens' White 5 of 4./JG53 in autum '39. I was really stricken by the abnormal markings, and purchased a set of Montex paint masks for the markings.
I replaced the prop, exhausts and wheels with Ultracast gear, replaced the cannons with Master barrels, applied Eduard etch throughout. I painted it all with Vallejo's model air, and had my first real go with salt weathering and dot filtering. As well, it was my first go with black basing.
The limited decals I used were a set of stencils from Eduard.
The antenna wire is of course EZ line, as is the canopy hold back wire.
At the same time as this piece, I've been working at an Eduard 109 E3 to mark out for Erich Mix from Stab 1./JG53. I hope to start painting that any day now. I plan to set the pair of aircraft side by side in a dioramma for the sitting war era, just as both camo patterns were so abnormal.
I'm also debating picking up a German staff car to stick into the scene, but I'll see how adventurous I get.
Thanks for looking, happy modelling.
