Sparzanza Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Tackar HÃ¥kan! Here's some more pictures! And with the gun pods in place: Does anybody know for a fact what colour the gun pods were? Were they strictly painted RLM76, or did the groundcrew/mechanics bother to paint them in whatever undercarriage colour the bird was in? I guess I can ask the same thing about the droptank while I'm at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparzanza Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) It has taken some time, mainly due to me building a 1/25th scale '58 Impala for my mother as a christmas present, but also due to a couple of my Humbrols dying; namely #90 and #91 - but here's nevertheless an update. Here's the propeller painted up, and all done. It will not require any more work! Cowlings painted RLM76: And finally .. the.. thing. Painted in RLM.. whatever: Edited December 16, 2013 by Sparzanza Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 This looks really good and the progress too.

Sparzanza Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thanks for the comment Mal, although I am using the same painting technique as I always have.. brush + sponge. But hey, maybe I got better at it. The mottling will be a challenge. Here's an update; Sides and most of the undercarriage painted with the puke beige green; then masking off the left wing to paint some Humbrol 11 aluminium. Then the right wing masked and painted RLM76. Anyone figured out what scheme I'm doing yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparzanza Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 More painting done; mottling the cowlings & tail with H116 and H98, one coat of Humbrol 98 on the fuselage, left wing and stabilizers, two coats of Humbrol 116 on the fuselage.

Sparzanza Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Right wing replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparzanza Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well I might as well reveal this "mystery" 109 with replaced right wing & engine cowlings. It is the G-6 yellow 5 found by US troops in May 1945, in Kassel. The profile was made by Anders Hjortsberg, so all credit goes to him - but I also want to thank Boris for showing it to me in the first place. Anyway, I strongly recommend Anders' site The Profile Paintshop to everyone because it has many, many great-looking liveries/schemes and some good background history as well. Here's the profile I'm going for: Although it has gone through some changes since I saved the picture, so mine will not be 100% accurate. I'm sort of pleased with it so far though, with the exception of me messing up the yellow 5 decals that Boris gave me. My attempts in making masks for it by printing the profile and cutting the 5 out has been flimsy & unsuccesful .. plus that I have managed to misplace a wheel nut, basically means that the kit is on hold for now. But I will share its current state with you lot. The paintjob is completed and has been given two extremely thin brushpainted gloss coats - and is awaiting decals. Oh well. At least the cockpit looks good. But yeah.. currently on hold. Might start my 1/24 Zero in the meantime. Enjoy the pictures: tomv87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
