**** DONE: GB-36 1/48 Bf 109C - Axis Manufactured Aircraft of WWII

[fubar57]

Still looking for your scheme. Found many that are a few months pre-war but can't verify if the were in at the start.

Finally I found a better pic of the N+9 via the net. No doubt the exhausts were of the late type.

And here there is the alternative to the black markings.. the white N+5 and N+7 .. with the ealier exhausts.

 

[Wurger]

And here is the yellow N+11... But the problem can be the owl emblem.

The pic source: the Internet.

 

[fubar57]

One of the problems I'm having with finding suitable pics, unit emblems

 

[Wurger]

I would suggest the HMD-48023 decal set ...

I think I've got it licked. I found a Luftwaffe codes decal sheet that has yellow numbers outlined with black. I'd love to do N+11 in the profile above but no way to do the N, but I can do yellow 18 shown in post #37. I ordered the decals tonight so should have them by the time I need them.

Crossing posts Wojtek. I ordered those codes but I still think I might look for that decal sheet.

 

[Wurger]

I see. Also I found these profiles via the net... I thing there is the marking for the White N+6 in the decal sheet of the kit.

 

[fubar57]

Good show.....carry on

The N and 7 would be relatively easy to mask and paint.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cool stuff...

 

[Wurger]

And here the profile for the D-1 coded white N+5 .. found via the net.

The N and 7 would be relatively easy to mask and paint.

Also the N+6 should be easy to get. it seems that the white code N+9 of the kit decal sheet can be used. It is enough to cut off and turn the number 9 upside down.

Good to see an earlier mark of the 109!

Good start Glenn
Agree with John: an early 109 is not very common. Good choice !

Been working on the nose the last few days.

I added some fine mesh for the radiator since there was no molded in detail for it

The radiator finished with the intake installed along with a small intake on top. The fit of the intake lip was not great and needed some filling and smoothing out.

In this shot you can see where I had to add a shims to make the upper nose part fit.
The profile of the nose has quite a different look for a 109

 

[Crimea_River]

Spiffy Glenn.

 

[Rogi]

Looks great and excellent addition for the mesh

 

[turbo]

Nice Glenn

 

[JKim]

Jumo engine definitely gave the 109 a different look, didn't it?

Doin' good glenn...
