Phoenixs Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hello, finally tomorrow we go back to the office, just in time to finish my quarantine job. I took advantage of the gloomy and sad atmosphere to face my first Nazi aircraft: a Bf 109E-3 piloted by the Staffelkapitän of 5./JG 51 Horst Titzen. The plane is set on August 14, 1940 in France (two days later the pilot will be killed in an aerial duel with a hurricane over the mouth of the Thames). The model is the Cyber-Hobby (Dragon) with the addition of Eduard photoengraves and the Radio set of Aires. I wanted to try the set of positive rivets from HGW, the processing is rather complex but the final result is not masculine: practically these are decals before the colors, once they are finished, we pass the fine grain abrasive paper (1500/200 ) on the whole model making them stand out being themselves light colored. Obviously it looks better on dark colors because it increases the contrast. The coloring was done with Gunze colors, the decals are from the box except the Balkenkreuz colored through self-produced masks. Photo: I dedicate the model to our fantastic Hobby which allowed me to spend these difficult days at best.
