Senior Master Sergeant
Once again I invite you and I thank you for joining me in this thread, where we will give shape to my fourteenth model and eighth work bench that I share in this great forum.
Messerschmitt Bf 109The box art:
The kit offers 5 options of schemes and this one caught my attention especially for "apparently being" very unusual. I hope you like it.
(image obtained from the internet)
It's the only original photograph I've found on the web (UNTIL NOW). If someone of you has any other or any link where you can delve into this version, I will thank you.
Interesting note in the option presented by Eduard's instruction sheet:
"This unusual camouflage scheme was seen on some JG 300 aircraft and these were flown during night sorties. Upper surfaces were RLM 76 with gray wavy lines the exact color of the wavy line is not known -RLM 75 or RLM 74 were used almost certainly. It was apparently in this aircraft that Hans-Werner Gross was shot down on March 18, 1944. "
I have some information gathering and I was able to start little by little. What will emerge on the way, we will be commenting.
The amount of small pieces and those included in PE, will be a challenge and I hope to achieve for the first time "not lose any"!
The pit and sides painted with RLM 66 (black gray 71055 Model Air) and then I added a little white to give a little light.
I think this is the smallest piece in this kit. A crank on the IP
"the eagle of the national shield could almost eat it"
All the IP is made up of 4 pieces. With gloss varnish I joined the pieces, apply a bit of matte in some parts and the glass of the dials with Future.
... this is starting, I'm finishing the inside and sides of the cockpit.
Thank you in advance for your comments, suggestions and information that may be useful.
Ya regreso...

On this occasion I chose, possibly the most representative fighter and of which no other aircraft of the German Luftwaffe is so intimately connected with its rise and fall in the course of the WWII than the
Messerschmitt Bf 109
