Bf-109 G-6

[109ROAMING]

Hey guys heres my attempt at making airfix's 109G-6 a little better

Scratch built interior and Db-605

Gonna finish it with most of the cow panels open

Yet to decide on a scheme on this maybe first thought was Gerhard Barkhorn

Anyone got some nice schemes they'd like to share?

 

[109ROAMING]

Alierons, flaps , rudder, elevators , slats removed ,Its a mess right now

...for a minute there I thought Wojtek had gotten into this thread with his razor saw to help you out!

Doin' ok so far Daniel!

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers Wayne!

 

[Airframes]

Nice start Daniel! But what the h*ll is that big glob of pink stuff on the wings!!??

 

[Wurger]

It's really a mess so far but you are doing well Daniel.Keep working on...

You might be interested in these.But notice please that the Yellow13 has later variant of the fin and rudder.

 

[Njaco]

You're not supposed to put that filler on with a snow shovel!

Looks like you're getting there!

 

[Maximowitz]

The pink stuff is cosmic goo from the Nazi Flying Saucer project designed to give it extra lift.


No, really.

 

[109ROAMING]

Thanks for the profiles Wojtek!

Don't worry Terry its abit cleaner now!

Cheers guys

 

[Heinz]

Top stuff mate

 

[109ROAMING]

Thanks man!

 

[Airframes]

So if that pink, ex-Nazi Space Programme, extra-lift-giving Cosmic Goo is filler, why have you filled the wheel bays? Apart from that, and I'm sure you've got a good reason, it's looking great Daniel!

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers mate ,I filled them in cause theres bugger all detail in the wheel wells so I'l drill holes to a depth of about 2-3mm where the wheel would go and then sribe grooves for the undercarriage leg .If I didn't there'd just be gaps leading into the wing which would look a tad wrong.Shouldn't look too bad with abit of paint.Lots more sanding/filling to do!

 

[Wurger]

If you would use plastic pieces you would get better effect of these wheel bays Daniel.Could you recall me what firm offeres them kit?

 

[rochie]

wow Daniel is that the 1/72 G-6 if it is i've got one of them and i applaude your work mate because it tiny !

 

[Airframes]

I echo Karl and Wojtek. I now understand what you're doing, but, as Wojtek said, it's much easier to 'box-off' the gaps around the wheel wells and gear-leg bays, using thin plastic sheet, or even card, if you haven't got plastic sheet.
But bl**dy good work nonetheless!

 

[Njaco]

Wow, 1/72!!! My hat is off to ya!! Doing good!

 

[109ROAMING]

Just thinking about that Wojtek(typical of me going about it the wrong way)Will look into doing that

Ya its the airfix 1/72 kit ,got 1980 imprinted on the inside of the fusalage

Cheers guys ,Will have some more pics up tonight of the build

 

[Wurger]

The training makes a master. Keep working Daniel.

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers mate!
