Alright, just got back from my LHS! 

If you could, please put me down for a 1/48 Revell Bf 109 G-10, 1/72 Amodel Bf 109 W, and Airfix Bf 109E in Swiss service. 

 

You've got some really cool schemes in this set. I see one on floats. That's epic. You should also post that one up on the Floats and Boats GB and get two badges for one build. I will be watching this either way.

This is what the 190 looks like after tonight. I need to work on the canopy decals and a little wash then add the prop. I added the mottleing using a dry brush.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

LOL...you got sir!! Also, did you hand paint, or airbrush the camo green? It looks great.

I sprayed it using tape as a mask. I do need to brush touch-up the horz stabs roots.

Here is where I'm at with my little 190. After this all dries I'll add the gray green to the top and work on the mottling.

The camera captured more blue in these pics than white.

 

I’m loving this little 190! Big Smile

Hello Steve, Man for such a small kit it has some great detail to it. What is the total piece count for this kit? It is looking great friend. I'm jealous that you have already got started lol. I have 4 more days here at the station before I get to go home and get started on mine. I'm looking forward to the 1/72 build. This is how mine is going to look after I build it LOL

 

It would be great to see you build it as a wreck.

The kit has 12 parts, if you add the bomb, 16 if you use the stand and plaque. I won't use the bomb but may stick it on the stand to keep the gear from getting broken off.

Ohhh!! I definently want in- I'll have to get back to you on what I'll be building, though- time to hit the LHS!

 

(Side note, would a 109 in foreign colors be acceptable, or are you keeping it Luftwaffe all the way?)

 

WaggishAmerican, I'm ok with foreign markings as long as it's a 109.

I did think about the drybrush idea but not oils, I should try that.

Here is the little guy so far. I had to use a weak clothespin so I didn’t crush it. There are some seam gaps but it's so small just a dab of Mr. Dissolved Putty should take care of it.

Great work on the badges Andy.

I did a very quick search of my stash yesterday, as I thought I had an Airfix 1/72 109E

It didnt turn up, but I was surprised at what I found, all 1/72

Tamiya 109E-4/7 trop

Academy 109E

Revell 109G-10

Hasegawa 190D-9

2 * Tamiya 190A-3

I've already committed to the first one, but I'll be tempted to keep going, at least with the 109s. I'll let you know if I'm going to enter any more. 

Given that the name of the GB is 'Pride of the Luftwaffe', am I right in guessing that aircraft operated by other Axis powers are not allowed ?

Cheers

Tony

 

Tony, other countries markings are ok. The GB is just spot lighting these two important aircraft. I'm not as concerned about the markings as long as it's a 109 or 190!

Hey Rooster, add me to the mix.  I'll be doing this Eduard Fw 190A-9.  Smile

 

Cheers, Mark

 

 

 

I’m looking forward to watching this one. I’ve been debating trying one of their profipack kits. 

 

Yeah, looks to be a decent kit.  I picked this largely based on this review (though it's a few years old).     http://www.hyperscale.com/2012/reviews/kits/eduard8187reviewbf_1.htm

For that 1/144 mottle, another idea might be weathering powders applied with the tip of a fine brush.  It will require some mixing to come up with Luftwaffe shades.   Actually am surprised the market hasn't come up with such colours with the amount of choices out there.

regards,

Jack

 

 

I've seen some nice mottling done with weathering powders too!  I don't know where I saw it, but I recall seeing an article by a gentleman who created a three tone camouflage of a 1/72 SM.82 with weathering powders. Looked amazing.
