Two Italian Bf.109G in 1/72 - finished

[Flyingbabydoc]

Hello everyone

So here is the next Project. I am building 2 Messerschmitt Bf.109G of the Italian air force, namely a G-6 of the Regia Aeronautica (before the armistice on 08.Sept.1943) and a G-10 of the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, the air force of the northern Italian Puppet-State from 1943 to 1945 (the Repubblica Socialista Italiana, under Mussolini and German occupation).

The G-6 is an 1/72 Italeri with PE from Eduard
The G-10 is an 1/72 Revell OOB

Both with Decals from Sky Models

Thanks for looking and as always your comments are GREATLY appreciated.

Cheers

Alex

Here is the beginning of the G-6

This is the second 109 (Revell G-10).

Not very exciting since it will be OOB. But still good practice.

Cheers

Alex

WOW! Nice work Doc! That PE would drive me batty in 1/72d scale!

Thanks guys much appreciated.

I am getting addicted to PE in 1/72. I love working with those tiny little pieces. To the point that models without PE are less fun.

More progress tomorrow hopefully.

Cheers

Alex

Luiz, muito obrigado. Eu nem sei se eu tenho um estilo de modelismo, estou tão longe de produzir uma coisa realmente boa como tantos que se vê aqui. Mas continuo tentando! Grande abraço

Soooo....

A bit of Progress. I am sorry the Pictures are not very sharp, somehow my mobile camera has been acting up.

That PE from Eduard was a Pain in the Ass to get in place! Again everything Looks rather "Gluey" and irregular. Frustrating.


Interior assembled, painted and weathered.

This is the G-6

And this is the G-10:

Cheers

Hi There friends,

Little update. I am not sure why everything gets so "lumpy"... I try to dilute it as much as I can, it Looks fine but when I take the Pictures.. oh the Horror. Maybe I am applying too much future before the decals? I don't know :idonno . Frustrating.

Here is the G-6

Here is the G-10

And here is the place I am spending most of my Weekend. Never had so many babies to operate on in a single Weekend... :java :java :java

Cheers

That's a tough paint job to pull off Alex.
Bless you for the work you do, I have a very deep appreciation for you folks who fix us up. :zen

Wow, what a great modeling place ( Kidding of course ) Thankful for those of you that can do what seems impossible to the rest of us

The only thing that comes to mind about your paint issues might have to do with the amount of time you allow for each layer to cure properly :idonno

I know I have less problems when I allow myself enough time for full cures between coats.

Hey everyone!

Sorry I have been absent from the Forum. Last Weekend I caught some bug from a Patient and had to spend a few days in bed..

This are the "'Schmitts" with the decals on. I am hoping to finish them up today. Looking a bit better, still too thick, maybe the weathering will help!

Cheers

Alex

Interesting Italian paint jobs Alex . Should fix the lt landing gear on the first one.

It is quite crooked .
