**** DONE: GB-45 1/48 Bf 109E - BoB/Foreign Service

[Jock Tamson]

Thank you all for your comments !

Some more progress to report....



Revell acrylic Dunklegrun applied by brush in about 3 light coats. The yellow is brush painted Humbol 24. All will need a bit of a rub down before brushing on Humbrol Clear prior to decalling.

Everything going well so far.

Cheers

Brushed yellow paint can be a horror show but you've pulled it off brilliantly. Very nice.

Yellow with a brush ? That's kind of like drinking orange juice right after you brush your teeth unpleasant ! Nice job on it though !

Thanks Folks!

Thin multiple coats seems to work, most of the time for acrylics.

Nice and I like the Romanian markings.

Great job with the brush

 

[Jock Tamson]

Thank you all for your interest.

More progress......

Im still painting the tail band before applying the Donald Duck emblem between the 64 and the band. The model will receive a matt varnish once all the decalling is complete. The rudder national colours are painted on as the decals are a bit inflexible and brittle.

All going well i shouldn't be too much longer with this one.

Cheers

Looks great Greg. A very colourful bird indeed. I think painted stripes always look better than decals anyway.

 

[fubar57]

Agreed. Just starting to paint the stripey sections myself after years of struggling with decals

 

[Donivanp]

As with all very colorful and looking great!

 

[Airframes]

Agree with all - very nice, and good to see an different colour scheme.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

Hello again!

Apologies for the delay, i have finished this one given that i have been sent home from work as part of the UK lockdown.

A nice easy build and i think it looks like an Me 109, so RESULT!

Thanks for looking,

Cheers, Greg
