My first WIP thread here... Hasegawa 1/48 Bf109G-14 kit which will be painted an overall white color to resemble the plane flown by Erich Hartmann. I decided to use a True Details cockpit over the kit supplied one. It's a wee bit more detailed as you can see below.
I started out with a black primer followed by Mr. Color RLM 66. Next added some highlights by adding a bit of white to the RLM 66. Light drybrushing followed by some shading/lowlights.
Still working on the cockpit details and weathering. Stay tuned for more...
Looking great Ole. I usually do the same with this kit. I look forward to your progress.
"Can you fly this plane and land it?...Surely you can't be serious....I am serious, and don't call me Shirley"
Looking good so far. Keep up the good work

Thanks again! The cockpit is finished. Added some washes, scratches and abit more weathering. It's ready to be installed.
Cockpit is looking great. I like the weathering, especially the seat belts. Very convincing.
Cheers, Mark

Somehow, I got to this point really quick. Tamiya light grey primer, rescribed a few panel lines.
Due to the light paint scheme, I went with RLM75 for the preshading
Yellow painted and maked off. Some touch up priming to remove any yellow overpaint.
Diluted white upper areas, lightblue belly. I took a shortcut and didn't bother to paint the recular camo, followed by a whitewash.
Ready for decals and weathering next.
I'm calling this one done. A simple build, light weathering and only AM part is the True Details cockpit. It definitely added details allthough the shoulder seatbelt attachment points are incorrect.
Usual Gunze Mr. Color paints, oils for washes and fading. Thanks for following along.
Back in the '70s, I had just finished reading Erich Hartmann's bio The Blond Knight of Germany. I bought the Hasegawa kit at a local hobby shop and built his plane. I really like the "tulip petal" theme on the nose. The model I built was the summer scheme(?). Your build has inspired me to do it again. Your build is very nicely done. I really like the winter camouflage.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Spiffy!

Thanks both! The tulip petal decals required a bit of patience, setting solutions and touch-up. Decals were very thin.
Very nice looking build, i do like the white wash finish.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks again! 2 weeks start to finish ain't too bad - all about planning
Ole, did you use kit decals or aftermarket. I have a a Hobby Craft 109G-3/4 I want to use to build a Hartmann airplane. I'm having a tough time finding decals for that model he flew.

These were the kit decals.
You did an amazing job especially on the tulip decals. I thought you painted those on

Thanks, I came close to doing that, but setting solutions and a hairdryer did the trick.
