Muddi Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hey there. for my first WIP-build I chose the Revell Bf 109 G-10 "Erla". I already built a couple of Hasegawa 109er and the recent Revell G-6 and I am curious how Revells G-10 goes together. Please feel free to critique and comment what I am doing, I am always eager to improve my skills and knowledge! Here is the stuff I am going to use during the build: WIP_Bf109G-10-001 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr I started the cockpit by removing the seatbelts and adding some cables on the floor. I used a machine gun cover from an aires set, because the kit one is vertically split in 2 parts and there would have been a seam to remove: Actually filling and sanding are the two things I really hate in modeling! WIP_Bf109G-10-002 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr I assembled the port sidewall with minor additions: WIP_Bf109G-10-003 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr The other side received some addtional wiring, a box and a resin handle: WIP_Bf109G-10-004 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr The HGW fabric seatbelts look really nice but are a pain to assemble. With the HGW-set came some PE rudder pedals and I made some straps for them, using some spare fabrics from the set. WIP_Bf109G-10-005 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr I sprayed a base coat of Gunze acrylics RLM 66, drybrushed with a light grey from citadel and gunze aluminium. After that followed a wash with dark grey/dark brown oil colours and details were painted again with citadel and model master colours. Mike Grant Luftwaffe stencil decals were added last. WIP_Bf109G-10-006 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr WIP_Bf109G-10-007 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr Added the lower seatbelts, the rudder pedals and the nice quickboost stick, that is a vast improvement over the kit part. It is designed for the Hasegawa 109 but fits perfectly into the revell cockpit. Shoulder straps will be added later.

Muddi Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 The instrument panel was painted like the rest of the cockpit. I did not like the colour of revells instrument decals and used them only for the ammunition indicator. The other instruments are MDC Luftwaffe dial decals. I added a large drop of Microscale Kristal clear to simulate the glass. Two PE handles from the spares box were added, too. WIP_Bf109G-10-008 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr Finally I closed the cokpit tub: WIP_Bf109G-10-011 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr WIP_Bf109G-10-012 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr That's it for now. I hope to have time again for modeling on the weekend. Thank you for looking. Nico rafju, D.B. Andrus, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Great start, I really like the cockpit. Which aircraft have you selected from that nice decal sheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looks awesome! Does the microscale clear set like that with only one drop? I usually use future but it takes several applications before it starts to build up. I may have to change that! Great cockpit! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddi Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looks awesome! Does the microscale clear set like that with only one drop? I usually use future but it takes several applications before it starts to build up. I may have to change that! Great cockpit! John Thanks. Only one large drop. I like it because it is that easy, but actually it looks quite bulbous and I think the future resembles the actual glass of the real instruments way more. But I am not that patient to do several applications... Great start, I really like the cockpit. Which aircraft have you selected from that nice decal sheet?

Cpt_Farrel Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can't speak for the forum rules but it's fine with me when you put the source up like that. Looking forward to seeing this one with some colour on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddi Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's been two weeks since the first post. Here's where I am right now: Installed the Quickboost barrels: WIP_Bf109G-10-013 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr Removed the air intakes on the nose, installed the barrauda exhausts and filled the lower oil filler hatch. Then I did some riveting with a riveting-wheel. Actually the rivets are not that accurate: its a compromise between the time involved and the effect. As it is intended to add some interest but won't be seen that much in the end, I refuse to spend hours and hours riveting the surface. In the end the lines are not always that parallel and accurate WIP_Bf109G-10-014 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr There is the rest of the barracuda stuff, everything fits like a glove! WIP_Bf109G-10-015 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr Removed the disks on the elevators and replaced the trim tabs: WIP_Bf109G-10-016 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr I opened up the holes in the ETC-rack and added the central part from the MDC set. WIP_Bf109G-10-017 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr The shell ejectors where opened up too, and a third fairing for the cannon shells was added. WIP_Bf109G-10-018 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr This is where I am right now: putty and sanding. WIP_Bf109G-10-019 by bastelnvormbalkon, on Flickr Next up: more sanding and cleaning the surface. Then paint. Thank you for looking. Nico SinuheH, rafju and mywifehatesmodels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
