I lost interest to continue my Revell Fw 190 built and to not lose my modeling mojo altogether, I decided to build another Bf 109. In the end this model should represent a Bf 109 G-6/AS in the colours of Friedrich-Karl Müller from Nachtjagdgruppe 10. Inspiration for this built comes from the blog FalkeEins (http://falkeeins.blogspot.de/2012/08/hans-dittes-ex-hispano-bf-109-g-10.html) and the corresponding very good colour profile from Mr. Hjortsberg. As there is no specific G-6/AS available I try to convert the Hasegawa G-10. I started with the G-10 cockpit set from aires, replacing the Revi with a Quickboost one for an older version. The cockpit set is marketed for the G-10, but I got the impression that Aires just recycled the regular G-6-set, using the old sidewalls that doesn't really fit to the kit parts: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_003 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr Accordingly I had to cut and sand a lot to make the sidewalls fit. I used Gunze RLM 66, details painted by brush, wash with oils, gloss-coat and some Airscale placards: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_005 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_006 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr Those Eduard, HGW and Radu - seatbelts with their small buckles are quite fiddly and usually assembling them drives me crazy... This time I tried an alternative, the plastic-seatbelts from FineMolds: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_007 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr Colors from Tamiya and Gunze: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_008 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr The instrument board from Aires is made from clear resin with an acetate-film in the back: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_009 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr I stole some techniques from the armor-modellers to weather the cockpit floor. clockwise: MiG-Wash (earth), using a large brush to flip some pigments on, using the airbrush to remove some pigments, then more removing using a brush and finally a flat coat: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_011 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr Joining the fuselage halves. Shoulder harnesses will be added at the end: WIP_Bf-109G-6:AS_013 by bastelnvormbalkon, auf Flickr Thats it for now. Thanks for watching. Nico
