Tamiya 1/48 BF109e 4/7 Tropical
Posted by BattleTweety on Wednesday, March 13, 2024 3:27 PM

I've put this together for a customer who wanted a tropical version of the venerable 109 and the Tamiya kit was perfect for the job. Went together perfectly of course. Paints used XF-23 Light Blue, Mr Hobby H79 Sandy Yellow and XF-58 Olive Green. Only criticism of the kit is the landing gear is pretty fragile so be careful. I used a Vallejo luftwaffe camo mask to get the spots. Its not a bad bit of kit, just fiddly but I was ok with the final result.



cheers

BT-your 109 looks great-good representation of the picture of the actual plane.  Well done.

I assume that's the 1/48th scale Bf109?  Nice job!

I ask because I finished their 1/72nd scale version of the same early this year.
