Bill Dedig Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I know this has been done (Great build on this site) . But I needed My Own. Kit decals ,which I thought were great. Barracuda Resin on Small wing bump section and on Spinner/Props (Prop Alignment jig). HGW Seatbelts, Uschi Line for antenna. Kit decals were used for all the markings especially the spinner and Tulips as they settled perfect and were better than my trying to paint them. I cut all the clear from the Insignia and used a Scrap set of markings on the tail. I did add some brake lines but tough to see in my photos.Lightly weathered as this is a 300 plane Ace mount. Thanks for Looking and comments are always welcome Regards Bill D MikeC, Rocat, ChuckD and 26 others 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The paint job is beautiful I think you should have used masks for the chevrons - it shows an inconsistency where it overlaps the panel line of the circular access port now I know that you don’t see it in a casual glance, but it is a shame given the exquisite nature of your painting i hope that makes sense?

mozart Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Damned if I can see any "inconsistency" with the chevrons, that's a fine looking Bf109 to my eyes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question whether Harttman’s real Bf109 was perfect in every respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Not an expert on things Germanic, but that looks great to me, I am the complete opposite when it comes to decals v paint as I am rubbish with decals, the tulip and spinner decals would give me sleepless nights but yours look great.
