Erwin Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Hi all, The Schmetterling in this GB is nearly done.Same for the P-47 in the D-Day GB. Time to start another project. What if Hermann Goring still flew during WW-2 and had his plane painted like his Fokker in WW-1 ? All white Me 109 E. He would only fly the white Me 109 when going on inspections to airfields inside Germany. Escorted by several Me 109's as his personal bodyguards I shall use the FROG/Hasegawa kit I managed to buy last month for only 10 Euro's at the Antwerp convention. Should be an easy build and paintjob. Overall satin white. . Edited April 27 by Erwin BradG, Alain Gadbois and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Great idea, but obviously Hermann had to go on a severe diet to fit in his tight Bf 109 cockpit! Or he had bulges added to the sides! Alain Furie, Erwin, MikeC and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Started yesterday. Simple build.Not much detail to worry about or even worth showing. The fit is rather good for such an old mold. MikeC, BradG, MikeMaben and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 (edited) It will need several coats to cover the green plastic. Working on the P-47 at the same time made me realize just how small the 109 is . Or how big the P-47 is. Hermann would never fit in the 109. Maybe I should have given him a captured P-47 !

Alain Gadbois Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 How about Tamiya white primer straight from the can? Alain DugyB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 This build is going nowhere. The green plastic is still vissable after five coats. I give up with this build. I gave it to my grandson to play . This topic can be deleted. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Too bad. Next time start with one or two coats of light grey. For whatever reason grey is far more efficient to cover a dark base. MikeC and Erwin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 On the bright side, that’s one happy boy with a new toy to play with! Alain MikeC and Erwin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
