1/32 Bf109K4 WIP (COMPLETED)

Nice techniques, hope I learn something!

Thanks John. Hey we are never too old to learn something new.   

I really like the Flory washes. They are very easy to apply and remove. Let it dry then use a moistened Qtip on hard to reach areas and a damp piece of paper towel to remove excess wash on larger areas wiping in the direction of the airflow creating subtle light streaks as you go.

As far as I'm concerned, you 100% nailed this thing. Looks like you could fuel/arm her, crank her up n take off on a sortie. Well done!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

A short weathering update. Broke out the oil paints and started to blend in stains and streaks.

Blended the exhaust stains on the fuselage sides

More streaks and grime.

Last night I touched up and weathered the engine area a tad more.

added the antennas, pitot and tail wheel

and attached the slats slightly extended 

and added some minor foot traffic wear on the port wing and touched up previous chips.

It's been a while since posting an update but things are finally moving again.

I finally got my garage back and shot clear flat to kill the gloss and to seal things up.  
I did run into a small issue regarding the drop tank which interferes with having the bottom engine panel open so I opted for the open panel vs having the drop tank on. It's a shame to cover up the engine details. I'm saving that tank for another Kurfürst waiting to be built in my stash.

I fabricated the canopy hold open wire and added the pe details.

My Kurfürst is almost completed.

Outstanding work!    

Looking good PJ. I love those late war 109s.

Thanks LD and CB.

Wow! Beautiful work.

 

Thank you .

My Kurfürst is completed.

Well done, PJ, though I wish the pictures were a little lighter.  But I've seen the nice detail in your earlier posts so I know it's there.

Thanks John. I noticed them to be a tad darker too so I took a few with better lighting.

Awesome!  Your free hand camo came out fantastic.

Thanks. I used my Badger Sotar to get extra tight feathering lines.

Fantastic!  Museum piece right there.  Well done.  I too am a big fan of Flory - feels almost like cheating :)

Mighty fine job, Ernie.

The building quality and finishing are first rate, a very realistic replica. I hope to see it in the "Gallery" soon, it belongs there to be seen by many. Thanks for the posts and photos.
