SinuheH Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Hi gents, winter has arrived and its time to warm up the man cave, remove the cobwebs, find the airbrush, select a few kits and start a new project. As I wanted an easy start, I selected 2 Hasegawa 109's from the stash, a Bf 109G-14, which will act as a tall tail Erla hood Swiss Bf 109G-6, and a Bf 109G-10 Nachtjäger, which will act as a defected Croat Bf 109G-14. Ever since I received Georg Hoch's fabulous book on the Swiss 109, I've wanted to build one of those candy striped birds, especially J-704, with ist distinctive dark earth/dark green camouflage. But as life would have it, my kit settled down nicely on the stash for the lack of suitable decals. Last year, Doogs (aka Matt) built a wonderful model of this aircraft, 12_27_12 4 by DoogsModels, on Flickr and via PM informed me of the source of his masks for this bird... wonderful, masks arrived, but so did summer... The other 109 I have long wanted to build is Santners G-14/AS black 4 the Croat markings, which was discussed here on LSP last fall. Fortunately Montex released a set of masks for this aircraft.

SinuheH Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Well, last weekend I finally summoned up the courage, and put glue to the sprue. Unfortunately, while looking at these photos, it's clear to be that "the older I get, the better I was"….. Well, perhaps I'll get better at airbrushing spaghetti camouflage....
