Daywalker Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Here's one in the works, another of Hasegawa's 1/32 Bf-109G-6 kits this time being built as "Rot 6" of 2./JG300. The top aircraft on this Eagle Editions sheet:Built mostly OOB so far, with seatbelts from lead foil with Eduard hardware, a modified spinner mount, wire brake lines, brass strip tank strap, and brass tube wing cannons.I also modified the ETC rack fairing, opening up the lightening holes and adding some inner details.All built up, waiting for paintI also shaved off the front of the supercharger intake, and replaced it with a hand machined piece of tubing to get a perfectly round profileAs this aircraft will be heavily over-sprayed with dark gray and black, I didn't worry too much about getting the factory paint perfect. As long as it was close, I am OK with it. A coat of gloss to protect thingsNext up, cutting some cross stencils to paint the upper wing, fuselage and tail bits. Then, the fun begins! Really looking forward to the later paint stages! Edited December 24, 2013 by Daywalker Tomek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wow Frank, you're fast! Looking good so far. I'm considering one of these kits for the upcoming GB. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks Kev! I've been working on her for a couple of months and decided to wait until I had some paint on her before posting anything. They really are good kits, good fit and reasonably accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartmann352 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wow! Look at you, cruising right along there. Great looking IP -- wish I could get that. When I saw the sheet you were using, Was hoping for "Rot 8" but "Rot 6" was my second hope. (yes, I look at the pictures first.) Looking forward to the finished product. (Which will be, what, Wednesday, Thursday at the latest?) Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks Dave! I am actually a very slow builder- started this one in December of last year. Should go faster now that the painting has commenced! I plan to build Red 8 in the future, figured a NMF Bf-109 would very cool in the display cabinet.

Hartmann352 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 .....started this one in December of last year. AH-HAH! The secret is out. And yes, that NMF 109 has always caught my attention Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 My favorite. Tell me about those short barrels. Will you be filling them with tube or do they represent something else? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi Mark, thanks for stopping by! I do actually have some brass tubing for the barrels, what is present in the photo is just the mounting sockets. Thanks again for looking in!

Out2gtcha Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Really great work Frank! I do like the little stuff like the ring for the supercharger intake as well as the scheme youve chosen. (although a foiled Red 8 could be trick ) Was all the dark gray and black a special camo, or was there another purpose for the unusual colors over the normal Luft camo?

Daywalker Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi Brian! The dark gray and black oversprays were added to these as they were nightfighters. Some very interesting camo schemes to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Frank Classic bird with some CLASSY workmanship to it.. WOW !!!! Amazing work from you. Thank you so much! Small update today, made up some masks for the fuselage crosses and shot some white through them. They seem to be the only markings slightly visible under the blacked out paint. While I was at it, I made some templates to "black out" the wing crosses later More to come soon, thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Wolf Grant Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Oh, this is really, really nice. Am looking forward to seeing more. Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaced Marine Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Excelled build. I've always wanted to attempt the bird you're building. I'll keep my eye on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Smooth paint job Very nice Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thank you, this is turning out to be a difficult scheme to replicate! Pulled out some dark gray, black, and other mixes to do the majority of the camo scheme this afternoon. I think it is pretty close, what are your thoughts? Still need to add the red "6" decals, a couple of stencils, and black out the upper wing crosses. A couple of shots to show today's progress...
