Bf-109 GB

Rudy since you say I can combine this with other GBs, I also have a Bf-109b1 (1:72) from Heller that I'm doing for the Spanish Civil War GB. 

Hmm double the fun!  Last year around this time too, I did two Fw-190d9's at the same time and it was great fun. One was for the Langnase GB (1:72 Hasegawa kit) and the other for the Battle for Germany GB (1:72 Airfix Kit).  I think I'll do the double build again, this time with my Bf-109s.

Nie ma problemu , a więc mam do zrobienia sześć modeli , 1 x AML , 1 x  Fine models , i 4 x Academy. Wszystkie w malowaniu Hartmann-a. Mam również kalki 4 malowania E.H.

Daje sobie czas jakieś , 6 miesięcy.

Rudy napisz co lubisz składać.

Musze podszkolić mój Angielski.

I start the work , I must end maximum in six month 

I did some minor assembily today (Nothing detailed yet) I was fiending to build SOMETHING.I'm starting to recognize shapes and forms with my healing eye so hopefully I can get more done soon

PS Rafhart Beautiful 109 you got there I cant wait to see the next one.by the way what language do you speak so i can run it through the correct translation program I think it's polish but I want to be sure

MUAHAHAHAHA I couldent resist and went on a building Binge on my G-10 as my patch came off wednsday after my eye surgeon said my eye had healed enough to do without it.Things are still a bit blurry but not so much as to hamper my work.So without further Ado THE PICTURES!!!

"Panzerwulff the plastic Pirate rides again!!!"ARRRRRR!

Rudy-

Am I in?  Just wanted to make sure before I posted any pics.

My six bf-109

Looking good Rafhart.

Progress! (but no pics yet, I'l post them soon) For both 109s I have the cp in and fuse together.  Wings and tails will be going on this week and who knows, maybe some paint too?  I used to not really build 1:72 but lately have really enjoyed that scale as you can bang off a couple builds quickly.

Can I jump in with a Ha-1112? I'm a bit new to these boards. I have one that's inprogress, I started back in december and is about 95% finished, and a S-199 in the early stages.

Let me know, and I'll post some pics.

Sorry for the lack of updates! Schoolwork by the crapload, just finished for today.

Everyone, I gotta catch up on the herd of new joiners I see on the horizon. Panzer, watch out for the online grammar translation. I don't get your Polish.

Next academy in building.

Hey there.......

Was wondering if I could join in the fun.

Got a really ancient (from 1988) Hasegawa Emil-3 that I'd like to see put together.

Im not a big expert on German fighters, but it looks like a sweet little kit. (if a bit old)

Here's my current in progress Ha-1112 Buchon. ALmost finished this one over the weekend. If I can squeeze in an hour or two during the week, I'll wrap this one up.

Charlie is that the Academy 1/48 Ha1112??? I have one in my stash yours looks really sharp

Thanks!

Yup, that is the academy/hobbycraft kit. Nice kit, goes together well. The only tricky area is the wing cannons. A little filler (mainly under the nose), but all and all it goes together pretty well. A bit sparten in the cockpit (not really an issue for me). I've got 3 more in the closet. Plan to build one in the silver over azure scheme, one camo scheme, and one in "Battle of Britain" markings.

Tgregory and Daywalker, give the guy a break! Rudy's a student with tons of work to do, ever been in that situation?  Real life also tends to get in the way of modeling too. Be patient, he has apologised for not updating the new comers and gave his reasons.  I'm sure you can start your 109s and carry on even though your name isn't on the first page yet. 

BTW, I finally have some progress pics.  These were taken two weeks ago and the builds haven't progressed any further as I am trying to complete a Spitfire mk9.  Enjoy!  The one with the resin tail is a Bf-109 G6 and the other a Bf-109 B2.  The G will be as one of Hartmans and the B as a Spanish Civil War Condor Legion bird.  Enjoy!

Alright, I'm gonna post pics of my '109 hoping that's OK.  It's a Tamiya 1/48 109E-4 Trop done with kit decals (Black 8), mostly OOB with a resin seat.  I started the painting yesterday, and finished the lt. blue and the spinner.  Here is where she's at:

Was asking myself the same thing about the preshade.

Its so subtle that I was wondering if it was a trick of the camera.

Looks nice, and the spinner is sweet!

Thanks for the kind words!  I really had my fingers crossed for the spinner, hoping it would turn out as well as it did.

As for the shading, I actually prefer to use post-shading on my aircraft.  After giving it a base coat, I mixed an ever-so-slightly darker mixture and lightly followed the panel lines, then mixed a lighter version of the base color and sprayed that in the open areas between the panel lines.  Then, one more heavily thinned coat of the base color to blend it all in.  A lot of work, but I think it really stands out.

Painted the sand color today, here is where she's at:

Next up, the olive green spots.  Today was the first day I got to use my new Badger double action 'brush, so I am still learning with it.  I will probably take a few days to practice before I try to freehand the green.
