  1. Hello 

     

    This was very quick build by my standards. Took me little more than a month to finish this one so here is third  G-6 out of four I want to build.

    This time I did mount of Alferd Surau, JG3 ace with 43 victories to his credit before being himself shoot and killed in this same crate by American bombers.

    Hasegawa model with MM authentic and Valejo varnishes as usual.

    There is more weathering on the model than what you can see here but didn't manage to make better photos 

    Hope u like the  model :)

    What  a lovely build... seems you are a 109-o-holic as me :-)

     

    And I agree with everything you said about the kit - hate the gear legs... prop a bit annoying and bulges need replacing with resin - but rest is real nice

     

    I'd say it's Hartmanns Yellow 1 that's the Hasegawa kit

    Thx for nice words guys

     

    Thomas I am 109 nut. Never enough Messers i mean i love building other models too but there is something that drags me to 109s.

    At momenet as i sad in previous post i work on Hasegawa 109 G-6 with markings for another eyeball from Alfred Surau. Than next one will be yellow 7, the last one from the sheet i posted picture above. Wanted to do all eyeballs for long time , now i am half way through. After that i think i will have hard time deciding which Pikas man to chose from 7.JG53.

    And those are only G-6s lol..

    Also have crazy idea to do all raich defence bands that 109s had painted on rear fuselage, made only two so far lol.

    And here a quick snap of my 109 collection so far

  3. Hello guys

     

    I finished another Messerchmit BF 109...what else :)

    This is 109 Nr. 13 in my collection and its a Revell kit with mix of Eagle Calls and Hasegawa decals. Unfortunaly I had problem with EC decals, both number 7 decals along with two fuselage crosses just disengrated when put in the water. Luckily for me had Hasegawa boxing with same markings so I used those . That's why there is a slight difference in decal color.

    As for the model itself this is my third Revell Bf 109G-6 finished along with one G-10 and I really starting to hate that landing gear and prop assembly.

    Rest of the model is more than ok with exception of MG covers which I replaced with resin ones.

    Model painted with Model Master Authentic enamels with Valejo varnishes.

     

    Here are some pictures, hope u like the model

  4. Hello all

     

    I am working at the moment on Hasegawa P-47 in 1:32 scale.

    Now I am not an expert on Thunderbolt matter but this position of flaps doesent look right to me.

    I see on many builds this same position but when looking real photos the gap beetween wing and flaps does not seem so significant .

    So is this normal position for flaps on Hase p-47 or did i mess something up.

    One more question, when Thud is parked are the flaps always in down position or they could stay up also.

    Black is not required to base silver. I think it has become 'preferred' because Alcad recommends

    it for their paints. I think the reason for that is that a gloss black surface is great for detecting

    surface flaws. The surface finish is what changes the appearance of the silver finish. If you apply

    a solid coat of silver, the base coat isn't going to show thru anyway. When I look at NMF a/c I see

    more white in the reflectivity than black or dark colors. I primed my Mustang in MRP surface primer

    and applied some disruptive greys and blues to break up the monotone. My point is, it's not the color

    of the base coat, it's the surface finish from matt to polished gloss.

    Nice Pony Mike.

    Is that gray gloss surface or matt ?

  6. Hello all

     

    At the moment I am working on Hasegawa P-47D and want to finished it as a mount of Maj Eaglestone which is in NMF.

    Now I know that preferred way to prepare model for NMF is to do a gloss black primer.

    I will use Vallejo Metal Colors for the project so I also got me their black gloss primer.

    Now I use Vallejo matt primers for years now and never had encountered problem, until now with this gloss primer.

    I did clean the plastic with alcohol before applying gloss primer and waited for more or less 24h. Than I tried some Tamiya masking tape on it and primer peeled off almost had a rubber feel to it.

    I did try primer straight from the bottle and later with some valley airbrush  thinner but with same results.

    So can I use any other primer or it has to be gloss black. Or prime with matt black and than put some gloss varnish over it..

    Is it ok to use gray primer for base ??

    Lots of questions but I know now why I did only one NMF during all this years lol.

    Very nice!  Not sure if you experienced the same thing but I had a difficult time managing the various joints on the nose, along the wing roots and also where the fuselage bottom meets the wings.  A good kit but it can definitely fight you at times.  You did very well and the result speaks for itself!

     

    Yes John, those are exactly the problems I had..
