More Messerschmitts on the way...

[matrixone]

I have been absent for a little while from here and I'm back. B)

Thanks Randy, and thank you once again James.

These Messerschmitt's are now finished and here are some low quality pictures of them, these pictures will have to do for now until I can get outside and take some proper pics of the models.

Now that these are done I can get some major progress done on the Mummy kit.

Thanks James,
These were not the best of kits to work with but they ended up okay...now the hardest part is ahead, getting outside to get some pictures. Its predicted the weather here will be heavy rain the next few days.

Thanks very much Christian!

I tried getting pictures outdoors today but the quickly changing lighting conditions made this difficult, I might go with what I just took since its supposed to be really wet here in a few more hours.

Outstanding job Les, Another fine finish. Can't wait to see them out on the airfield

 

[nerdling]

Those look really nice Les. Will be even better to see some outside shots once the rain stops dumping on you.

Pardon me for being different . I lived in Germany for nearly a year and I know how much it is overcast and rains.

Wouldn't someone think that they would look more natural in their element . . . :hmmm

Sorry but that's been weighing on my mind for long now .

Cheers, Christian B)

Rain? What's that?

Nice Schmitties, Les!

Thanks guys!

The pictures I took yesterday while the sun was still out will have to do and I will post them later today, even though the sun was out the fast moving clouds kept the lighting in a constant state of flux which made for a lot of poorly lit images I have to sort through.

Christian,
I like the look of my models while they are in sunlight, also building and painting errors are easier to spot and are really the acid test to see how good or bad of a job I did on them...and on these two Messerschmitt's the workmanship could have been better.
But I agree with you about the models being seen in their natural element of the not always sunny German climate...the problem for taking pictures of the models in the rain is its impossible to shrink the rain to the scale of the models. :laugh:

Dave,
It just started raining here about a half hour ago, I imagine right about now you are getting soaked! After having a near perfect summer of almost no rain it really sucks to know this is just the start of 8 months of the rainy season.

Well everyday in Germany was not wet but many were overcast and gloomy . ( Subdued lighting )

I still think the Germans were going to France to have better weather. IE the Cote D'Azur .

I find that close up photography brings enough of the flaws for my taste buds. :facepalm

Cheers, Christian B)

Neither of these models look good close up, the Huma Me 609 is an older limited run kit and the HobbyBoss Bf 109G-6 is part toy/part model that is intended for beginners and is lacking in some of the smaller details.
