Done : Bf109G-6 Yellow 9 of JG54 Gruppe Build

[lesofprimus]

Or we try and get the JG53 crate profile from Wojtek in the groove, which I WOULD prefer to be honest...

 

[lesofprimus]

But sh!t, that would mean hand painting a spiral on a 1/48th nose cone.... Piss on that lol................................

 

[Lucky13]

Well, if you want a "sexy" beast....you cant miss out on Hartmann's "Black Tulip" which was G-14, if I remember correctly....

 

[lesofprimus]

I also like the top profile Karl supplied from I./JG53.... Somehow we gotta make somethin work....

 

[lesofprimus]

Yea but I dont wanna drop 15 bucks on a set of decals that Ill never be able to utilize again for a smaller scale that I wont build again...

I dunno...

WHAT SPARE DECAL SETS FOR A G-6/14 TALL TAIL DOES ANYONE GOT LYIN AROUND?????

 

[Lucky13]

This one.....

 

[lesofprimus]

The only way to get that camo job outta my hands, was if I was possessed by some freakish, half man half buffalo half minotaur beast with magical airbrushing skills....

 

[Lucky13]

Like Wayne Co you mean?

 

[rochie]

Dan i've got a black RD band and a black spinner spiral from my K-4 in 1/48 any good ?

 

[Airframes]

I've got the JG53 'Pik As' badges, but not a yellow 5 the right size. I'm still looking for a white 5. I've got some, but not the right shape, but I'll keep looking.

 

[lesofprimus]

I would paint the band Karl, but the spinner we may need to utilize.... Maybe.... Ive got 4 sheets to pick from as well...

We have a couple ideas on the table, just gotta narrow down what there is available to me to make one a solid choice...

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok Dan what about this one? have decals for this!

 

[Catch22]

This one.....

That's Ostfront, not Defence of the Reich, or at least I think.

 

[lesofprimus]

That looks great Wayne, but all I have is an Erla Hood for it.....

 

[Airframes]

Dan, I think I MIGHT have the centre section of the 'standard' G hood, if you were able to fabricate the rear , fuselage section, possibly from the Erla hood?
I'll have a look through my spares box and let you know.

 

[Wayne Little]

That looks great Wayne, but all I have is an Erla Hood for it.....

Ah! we can fix that problem too! and the R6 cannon too.....

 

[lesofprimus]

The answer is YES Wayne.... I like the crate very much, but the color of that Defense band scares myself and my model master paints....

With ur help, I can do it...............

 

[Wayne Little]

C'mon....a p!ssy little blue band scares an ex Navy SEAL... ..Bullsh!t..

with the good work u did on your Dora...no sweat!

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe, Ive never mixed paint colors before, so it'll be interesting.... So I take it u got some spares layin around???

 

[Wayne Little]

I'm pretty sure I can solve your problem from the spares box....
