1/32 Hasegawa Bf 109 G-6 JG 52 "Gerhard Barkhorn" (Finished)

This is an example of the excellence that keeps me striving to get better.  Absolutely gorgeous.  The insignia masking is perfect.  I will definitely be looking into the Montex masks.  Do you have an idea of how many hours you spent on this project?

well done 

Magnificent work! Your models are inspirations to me. Can't wait for the next WIP.

As a slightly OT thought, I was looking at those leading edge slats and wondering what their advantages were when I stumbled on this thread:

So your guy wouldn't have had a problem - being a later aircraft.

One of these days I'll figure out how to replicate one of these finishes you keep producing, Joe. They are consistently amazing to me. You have a talent for making your models look life-like in a way that just screams professional.

It is always a pleasure to see your finished builds. Love it!

Awesome build! Totally jealous of your modelling skills

That. Looks. Amazing!  What a great looking model and diorama.

I've never been a big fan of the later 109's.  I prefer the E series with those squared off wing tips.  However, this build of yours has almost turned me into a G lover.  ...Almost.  

Cheers, Mark

The figure really makes a big difference! Nice job!

Thanks all! Very kind of you.  Mike. That's interesting information. Sometimes I leave them open and sometimes I close them on my 109s. I guess it depends on my mood.

I just started Rudel's Stuka G-2 tankbuster in 1/32. I'll start a thread soon. I'll get to try MRP's 71/70 over 65 For that. 

That was a good read, Mike, I always thought they were spring loaded and were deployed by g-forces in a turn. I was totally wrong!
