Warbird Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Hi there! Here are some pictures of my freshly completed Messerschmitt. She is a Bf-109 G6/R6, flown by chief sergeant O. Länsivaara and delivered to the Ilmavoimat (Finnish air forces) on June 1944. She flew until October 1951 and was then stored with 300 hours logged and 5 kills. The model includes a good amount of aftermarkets as well as a full riveting applied with the 1mm Rosie. The black background for the pictures is new to me and I must admit it's not so easy to work with. Well I let you be the judge. The first steps of the build are here http://forum.largesc...topic=41271&hl=. Sorry I've been a bit lazy...

LSP_Kevin Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 That is really very nice mate! Always good to see a 109 in unusual dress. Any chance you could send me these images for an article for the main website? Or alternatively I could use the ones you've posted here, with your permission of course.

dodgem37 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Fantastic. Lots of beautiful details. Love how the horizontal stabilizers are up while the flaps are down. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 After seeing so many excellent 109 builds here, and yours is no exception, I may break down and build one........some time..........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Brilliant work on your 109! The subtle weathering is just right to my eye, especially the way you have weathered the wing roots and tires. I hope mine looks half this good when finnished! (Sorry, couldn't resist!!!)

Thomas Lund Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Beauuuuutilful !!! Superb finish on that one - how did you do the weathering/chipping on the wing root - looks so convinsing !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Very very nice indeed I really like Finnish (and Swedish) aircraft subjects, and yours is right up there with the very best. Also, welcome to LSP. Regards Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbird Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys! The wing root chipping was achieved using a chipping fluid (AK Interactive "Worn Effects"). Basically this is the hairspray technique, but using an airbrush instead of the hairspray. I recommand this product for any kind of chipping, very effective and easy to use. The exhaust stains are a mix of approx 80% of black and 20% of red brown (actually several different mixes were used, although not obvious on the pictures).

Plasticsurgeon Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Wow! Das ist hervorragend ! (That is awesome!!!!) Love the chipping on the wingroot, the dust on the wheels..... very very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
