Revell 1/32 Me-109g

[prem895]

On another note, I am going home to my other home in Beijing for 2 months and I am going to send back 1/24,1/32 and some 1/48 Trumpeter ww2's. They are cheap over there. When I get back I will let you know what I have and I will pass on the savings to all of you. If there is something you want me to get PM me and I will certainly do my best to get it for you. I leave Friday so let me know before then...Gary

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks for the offer but I'm good for now. Here's a better profile for the rig you are building.

 

[prem895]

Thats it exactly. Far fn out.Thanks CR There wouldn't be a top view of this by chance?

 

[Wayne Little]

Nothing wrong with what you have done so far Gary!

 

[prem895]

Does this look about right? Heres my 1st attempt at a pilot. (not too bad,me thinks).Masked is 75. BTW just broke off the tail wheel gear

 

[Crimea_River]

Well, if Erich Hartmann sported a Groucho Marx moustache, he'd look like that!

 

[prem895]

Here it is,some touch up where the paint bled,and the blend in 76. Then let the mottling begin.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good. But the layout of the camo spots seems to be a little bit out of the one for the WNF batches.

 

[prem895]

I was wondering when I was going to hear from you Air Marshall. This is what I was after. Didn't quite nail it,but close enough for my 2nd build. Better than the mk1 Spitty. No it's not good enough. I will mask and repaint where needed. I was going to build the Airfix 1/24 p51d BB doll,but my metallic painting skills are not there yet and I do not want to make a mess of it. So I think it will be the Hase 1/32 F6F-5 in FS15042 deep sea blue or the Academy 1/32 Neiport 17 so I can get some time in using metallics and trying my hand at rigging. Have a safe and wonderful New Year my model aircraft brothers...Jr. pilot Gary

 

[Wurger]

I see what you mean. O.K. there's no problem.

And A Happy New Year.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far!

Well, if Erich Hartmann sported a Groucho Marx moustache, he'd look like that!

 

[prem895]

I did touch up some areas that I thought were a little sloppy. That coming from you makes it all the nicer Air Marshall.

 

[Wurger]

THX.

 

[prem895]

Well, here she is

 

[Crimea_River]

Hey, not bad at all! Mottles look pretty good

Now, one thing to watch is the angle of the swastika. It should be in a perfect diamond pattern, with the points on the vertical and horizontal axes.

 

[meatloaf109]

Yep, have to agree!

 

[prem895]

You saw that ah. I kinda botched the one on the left,it set up too quick and it started to tear so I did the best with a bad situation. I find swastika's kinda rare. Well on to the Hellcat

 

[Wurger]

Looking very good. A few areas still would need some of a touch. But not bad at all.

 

[prem895]

General,do you mean more camo?

 

[Wurger]

Yes I do. ALso the antenna mast .
