**** DONE: 1/72 Bf-109E Hasegawa - Me/ Fw Group Build.

[Nxthanos]

The Galland colors are actually more interesting, as shown on the techmod sheet.

Don't know how much detail you want to put into this, Chris, but I reckon I went through the same process you're going through, on my build. If you want some accurate answers/references check out my recent build, 'Galland's Bf 109E-4' on page 2 'Start-to-Finish-Builds' threads. I got lots of great help from the Forum members. I'm still awaiting a second set of Techmod decals to make the final corrections to the victory bars on the rudder, so they're not quite accurate yet. Oh, and no Adolf in mine, unfortunately.

Really nice start Chris.

I'm not overly concerned with making it 100% true to life, for one i can't see that kind of detail (bad eyes you know) on a 1/72 scale kit.

Since i already picked the open spinner it has to be a earlier galland machine since his later ones had the cap.

if the kill marks are a tad off or the colors are not 100% right i won't worry about it, as long as it looks good and isn't too inaccurate I'm satisfied!

 

[Nxthanos]

Really nice start Chris.

Thanks, have to wait for the new decals now!

 

[Gerry]

I think, once you enjoy the build and are happy at the end, that's the main thing.

Cheers, Gerry

 

[Airframes]

Very true. But how the h*ll are you going to make a 1/72nd scale cigar and lighter ?!!!!

 

[A4K]

Nice work Chris, with this and the Hurri!

And Terry...

Very carefully!

 

[Catch22]

Nice progress!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You're advancing very nicely Chris and seem to be enjoying every minute of it.

 

[dirkpitt289]

Looking good Chris, keep up the good work...

 

[Nxthanos]

Until the decals arrive, nothing to add to things.

 

[Wayne Little]

ok, back later then....

 

[Nxthanos]

Still waiting.

And i asked the guy to send them quickly, which appears to have not been noticed.

 

[Nxthanos]

OK, they arrieved so I'm back in business.

today's update;

The putty is sanded and the gaps in the wings are sealed.

Next, let's look at the techmod decals, not bad

As is common with techmod, the color guide has the wrong colors in the illustrations, but the correct ones are listed in the text

the tailplanes are added and their struts

 

[Nxthanos]

The plane is preped to be airbrushed lt blue

unfortunetly my airbrush stopped working and needs to be replaced, something i can't afford just now, so brush painting will have to do.

 

[woody]

Nice.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done, that's a lot of decals!
