1/32 Revell Bf109G-6/AS - Höhenjäger

[Thunnus]

This is my recently completed conversion of the 1/32 Revell Bf109G-6 kit into a Bf109G-6/AS using the AMUR Reaver resin cowling.  Incliuding the AMUR Reaver cowling, I added the following aftermarket items into the build:

 

1. AMUR Reaver Bf109G-6/AS resin cowling and supercharger intake
2. Aires Bf109G-6 resin cockpit
3. Barracuda Bf109F-G-14 resin prop and spinner
4. Barracuda Bf109G resin wheels, ribbed tire/smooth hub
5. Barracuda Bf109G resin exhausts
6. Synthetic Ordinance Works Bf109G resin/metal landing gear legs
7. EagleCals Bf109G6 decal sheet #32-42

 

The national markings and swastika were painted using custom cut masks.  AK Real Colors RLM 76 Version 2 was used for the external colors.

The complete build log can be found here...

May I publish it on the website?

What to say what I haven't previously... utterly perfect rendition, thoroughly enjoyed the build, delighted you have the Ta 152H on the go, and it might not be en vogue, but I really like that you have the canopy closed, so you can truly enjoy the lines of this classic fighter.

What a cracker! Lovely work John. Looking forward to the Ta 152.

Gorgeous.   Start to finish, just amazing to follow along.   Thanks for sharing this build with us John.  

Looking forward to the Ta 152 as well.

Beautiful, with a nasty demeanour about it, which is what it should look like.  Congrats on another fantastic model!

 

Cheers,

Thanks Rod!  The 109 was such a different plane than the Corsair... so much smaller and the cockpit much more cramped!  But the builds were similar in that I was working off a palette of blues.

Thanks Martin!  The pre-shading routine that I use (which has changed over time) helps to give a little tonal variation to the camo colors.

Thank you!  I prefer the canopy and all hatches and cowlings in the closed position.  I think the planes look leaner and meaner that way.

Thanks Bevan!  The Ta152 experienced some hiccups but it is coming along!

Thanks Chuck!  That's what I like about the G-6/AS conversion... it conveys the purposefulness of that bulged engine cowling that is missing on the Revell kit.
