**** DONE: Unofficial Bf 109-x GB: 1/48 Bf 109G-10

[fubar57]

All done Vic. Printed off wing camo. I'll use this to make masks. Yes, the fuselage camo is non standard but I'm not creative enough to make up something.....or maybe just too lazy, i dunno. Don't let the print size deceive; I laid the model on top and its bang on. Still working on seams and will have to rescribe the top and bottom panel lines on the fuselage

Looking at the camo of the wing tops I would say it looks like being used for G-6 rather. The later one for the G-10 painted dark should be something like the one seen in the diagrams below rather. Ceratinly if it was the two tone camo on tops.

or

but the most probably

I like "most probably", good for free handing. I'll post you something about the tail demarcations later on the left side. Profiles and photo don't seem to match. Still in PG and won't be home for about 3-4 hours. So we are a go for Tamiya XF-10 and NATO Green?

The Mushroom book for the late Bf 109 suggests the layout of the camo spots. IMHO this matches quite fine although the bottom part of the engine cowling and the rudder seem to be a guess only.

However the one seems to fit the layout quite better generally.

Nice stuff and detail Wojtek.

 

[fubar57]

Ok, sprayed the underside of the wings Vallejo Metallic - White Aluminum - 77.706. When dry, I'll mask this and spray the rest of the underside and elevators RLM76 to match the bottom profile that Wojtek posted. Not gonna argue with Lynn Ritger and Anders Hjortsberg. Now topside, do I go with the first profile, 81/82 or the second profile, 82/83?

I'm with Ullman. I hope these work because its all I have

 

[Wurger]

I agree the Ullman's colours look good. The MRP scanned chips in the net , show them in the way you may see below. The left one - RLM 82 , the right one - RLM83.

 

[fubar57]

Should work then. I'll test drive a few drops

Here's what I have. The colours are pretty close to real life. First the 1:1 mix in my post

[Wurger]

Looking good.

fubar57 ... here a nice shot of a restored Me 262 with the colours applied ...

Interesting. The swatches are from above, MRP. I think the Field Grey or OD might be closer than my mix according to this photo

 

[Crimea_River]

I think that 262 might be using RLM 81 as the darker colour so that may not be relevant. The 82 is very close though.

 

[fubar57]

Agreed Andy. Going with Nato Green for 82. XF74 looks close enough to me for 83. Anyhoo. Looking all Bf109y. After this photo I put the windscreen on and as I suspected, the canopy is short-shot where the two meet. When the windscreen sets up, I'll run some PVA along the seam, good enough for government work

​

Tother side with White Aluminium on the wings

 

[Crimea_River]

Yeah I think Nato Green is close and I think that's what Wayne uses but he paints less opaque than I do. Check out my White 11 build here where I made an 82/83 scheme: 1/48 Tamiya FW190D-9 White 11 of IV/JG51

For 83 I think I used 1: XF-58 Olive Green + 1: XF-67 NATO Green

The 82 was a mish-mash. I started with 4: XF-26 Deep Green + 4: XF-3 Yellow + 1: X-2 White but that turned out too limey so added 4: XF-67 NATO Green.

 

[fubar57]

Thank you Andy. I think I found it. The colour name, as with most Vallejo paint threw me. Don't let the pic throw you, there is a green tint in real life. Close to yours and almost bang on to Wojtek's chip above. I give you 71013, Yellow Olive

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good stuff George.

 

[Wayne Little]

What ever mix you run with Geo will get you close with the referencing provided and what is at your disposal.
