Troy Molitor Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Looks awesome Z. Don't worry about any small doubt. Keep up the great effort. This build looks awesome! I believe the first aircraft has another RLM 04 forward cowl piece painted in yellow and a RLM 76 lower detachable engine cowling behind it. The second aircraft has a well used, RLM Gelb 04 cowling covered in oil and grime. I'm also thinking these particular training aircraft were built up to G-12 stays using Bf-109 airframes available and they used whatever was available to modify them into G-12's. New aviators tend to "prang" these airframe in the learning process. Ninety percent of all a/c crashes are due in part to pilot error. In flight school, I recall there UH-1H's being damaged in 50 weeks of training at Fort Rucker on the Huey's During my training in the late 80's. Keep going and I'm enjoying your build. Love the painted numbers too. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Fantastic work Nicolas , I like unusual subjects based on 109 airframe. Keep it up Bro. Cheers M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 After finishing 2 WW1 aircraft, i had to get back to this one (it was difficult as i was not really motivated, i dont know why...). I applied a gloss coat (boring), a few stencils (boring), some UMP and Flory washes to highlight the panel lines (boring) and then a matt coat (boring). Now i think it will be more interesting as i will start to really wheater it. Hopefully it will be done in the week. A few pictures with the canopies unmasked.

Scale32 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Way cool! Can't wait for some dirtiness, keep on going, certainly not boring. Cheers Bevan Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Wow, that looks killer! I really like the looks of the strange 2nd canopy arrangement, with its bulged side window facets. Good show! Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thank you guys ! How can that be boring. Very nice! Cees Yes the stenciling and clear coats was boring to do. But i'm regaining my mojo as this build is progressing, and as it's going closer to the finish. The weathering was more interesting for me. I applied a few dots of AK rain streaks and winter grime, and some Mig blue and brown filters, then blend and clean all this mess with a large flat brush until i was satisfied with the result. I then add some dust pigments on the rear fuselage and seal it all with another coat of matt clear coat. I made the smoke stains first with very thinned Gunze chocolate, and then with flat black. I made a frew scratches on the smoke, and then re-applied a bit of black smoke pigments over it. I also add a few fuel leaks around the fuel cap on the fuselage. I still have to add a few oil leaks under the engine cowling. AndersN, MikeMaben, TorbenD and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 By the way, after this washes and filters treatment, the AK RLM76 that i first found a bit too blue (personnal choice), is now just perfect to me ! Scale32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
