Pride of the Luftwaffe GB

Looks good should be a joy to paint

Dry fit of wings.

These photos depict the Me bf109 G6 with the seams all taken care of.  As you’ve all seen in previous photos, very little if not no putty was used.  I like Tamiya White putty because it’s Lacquer based and dries quickly.  It also sands easy.  If thinning out is needed then a little Lacquer is all you need to add.  I have yet to add Lacquer as I’m very satisfied and happy with it‘s concistency.  Every modeler has their preference on what we like to use, this is what I enjoy working with and I’d figure that’s what counts in a hobby.  Having fun and enjoying your build time and I’m having one helluva time!  lol!

The horizontal and vertical stabilizers were adjusted a tad bit to show that it can move on this kit.  Just a little pose.  lol!  It makes it look interesting in my humble opinion.  I did it because I thought it looked cool.  Right now I’m taking a break from the bench to post this and then I’ll be working on the next step of which is the main wing assembly.  I’m get to work all day on this kit as my grandson Ezra is in Columbus, Ohio with his other grandparents.  So this is a nice break from having to watch him although Mrs. Toshi and I miss him so much.

Your friend, Toshi

My grandson Ezra.

Wow some great work going on guys!!! I MIGHT be in on this one but not going to commit to anything yet. Still have others I want to finish. Just bought Hase 1/32 Bf-109E Ádolf Galland' recently and IF I do, it will be that one.

Getting ready to close “Gustav” up.  I’m removing the center engine cowling support bar so that I can show off the engine as a whole.  I’m going to expose the entire engine, that way when Mrs. Toshi and I view the final product we can enjoy the hard work I put into it.  

Thank you GB Forum Members for following this build and all of the past builds not to exclude any future builds In the aircraft section.  I am so greatfull and humbled that I have so many GB friends following my builds.

Excellent G6 Crown!  I sure like your mottling.

Crown that came out awesome! Really nice paint work. Thanks very much for taking part in the GB and I'll get you added to the front page!

Thank you Jack yes it’s my new mag lamp I need to take some pics with better back ground but flicker is having issues again

Nick, sweet looking Gustav.

I know it's probably just digital/lighting, but I like the 'bluish' tint on the overall finish.

regards,

Jack
