Thomas Lund Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 So, In my quest to do one from each nation that participated in WWII, I've come to this one... this very well known one. Vladimir Sandtner defected in this one along with the equally well known 'Black 10' and landed at Falconara in Italy on 16th April 1945. Black 4 was flown by 12 victory ace Zlatko Stipcic on at least two occations before Sandtner ran off with it... so that feeds my ace fetich as well Some places it's mentioned as a G-10, some places as a G-14AS. Plenty of photo's of this one, but all the features (tall tail, tall tail wheel, MW50 filler, small wing bulges) could point to either, so I've given up and just decided to do 'this one'. Lots of pictures of this bird This last image is a late addition to my stash of pictures of this plane, so originally I did the camo with normal leading edge. Am working to do the wavy one Finally Stipcic himself As usual I've gotten pretty far before I pull myself together to do a build tread... This is btw part of a 'enemy' group build on Danske Modelbyggere (Danish modelers) . In the enemy group build we 'team up' two and two with opposing builds. My friend opposed this one with a Yak-3 (in 48th... sigh). Will post build pics in next post in a minute Lud13, Landrotten Highlander, HB252 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Started with the Hasegawa G-10 kit, nice kit with no real issues and since I really was focused on the painting phase, I progressed rather quickly. Fuselage closed and most basic construction finished in a day (god bless corona :-) ) But unfortunately I forgot to photograph the cockpit... Since I wanted to paint as much of the markings as possible, I did some rather intricate masks in CAD for my Silhouette The little symbol above the checquerd flag I need to print on a piece of decal film - much too small to cut... Finally primer coat and a few flaws corrected Troy Molitor, IainM, HB252 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 So main painting commenced - a rather grubby looking 109 with plenty of overspray of old marking - very interesting As mentioned earlier - at this time I did not know about the wavy leading edge camo, so this was it... note the overpainted german markings on the wing Nationality marking were painted on And some more - still need some cleanup along the rudder stitching and in a few panel lines... A rather intricate mask for this 'squadron insignia' (??) So this is were I am at today BiggTim, chrish, Kais and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Man Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Groovy. Like it very much. Can't wait to see how the weathering will be on this slick bird. Keep it up. Robert Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 A great subject! I've always thought the stylized crosses to be very interesting. Your mottling looks spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
