That would be cool! Built the piloted version in about 5 mins flat.......... not many pieces! Were they still being used in 45 though? Bevan

Chant........paint, paint, paint, paint..........

What a beast! Kudos to you Dave, beautiful work. Cheers Bevan. Ps are you going to finish your 1940 GB 109 now?

Looks pretty cool Brad. Wings is at Moorabbin yeah?

Thanks Jerry, I knew as soon as I saw the scheme I had to have it. Bevan

Cheers Aaron, been built for over 5-6 years I think. Got a Tamiya Skyraider sitting as well. Bevan

Shelf of doom resident for some time, finally found some decals I liked that weren't NMF. Not much to say about the build, pretty straight forward. Painted exclusively with Tamiya acrylics except for the clear coats (automotive acrylic thinned with gp thinner) and the flat coat which is Testors Dullcoat. Weathered with oils and sharp Derwent coloured pencils. Thanks for looking, Cheers Bevan

Love your use of oils Pete, anymore updates? Cheers Bevan

Super cool build Jeroen. Your a modelling machine!! Cheers Bevan

Looking good Mike. Going through the motions on Revell's G10 pit at the moment (kit supplied) , pretty nice detail. Looking forward to another update. Cheers Bevan.

Top work! Came together beautifully. Cheers Bevan

Great work! Cheers Bevan

Love it Aaron. Gotta get me one me thinks! Cheers Bevan

You are one crazy dude!..........in a good way that is! Amazing!! Cheers Bevan

Great little kit these are. I built the piloted version not that long ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great job! Cheers Bevan.

Gorgeous work! Hope to see more in the near future. Cheers Bevan.

Hey Ralph, the scheme makes for a refreshing change to the norm something you don't see a lot of. Love your work. Cheers Bevan

That's really nice work there. "Crisp" is how I would describe it. Cheers Bevan.

Hi Guy's, Typical Tamiya build.... Paints used were Gunze acrylics with a little Tamiya as well. Oil paints for washes and Derwent artist pencils for chips and scratches. Decals from Kagero's mini top colours number 37. Enjoy....... Thanks for looking Cheers Bevan

looks cool Brad. Really hard to make a monotone scheme look interesting. I think you've done a great job! Cheers Bevan

Hello modelling friends, Diving into the unknown here, does anybody know of any good books etc to help me not so much build the kit but to help me paint and weather it. Just love the Russian jets, they get nice and dirty just the way I like 'em . Thankyou for any input. Cheers Bevan

Pretty cool Dan. I see you have made some maps for the glove box , nice touch. Could'nt keep my eyes off the wheel hubs and tyres. Awesome. Cheers Bevan

Hi Arno, man what a fantastic looking project! Love the wood effects, the hot metal weathering and all that wireing. Looking forward to more. Cheers Bevan

The legs & doors appear too pale to be 02.... they match the bombrack. Or...... is it a trick of the light? Ah the joys of interpreting b/w photos. The glare of the sun doesn't help matters, but all said does point to 65 being used. I'm miffed, the manufactures were held to strict painting guidlines by the RLM, RLM02 being a primer with anti corrosion and adhesion properties where as 65 was purely a top coat camouflage colour which needed a primer for adhesion. Facinating stuff though!

I guess to be totally correct you need photo reference of the actual aircraft. If im not mistaken, the early war years saw the 109's primed in 02, airframe and all interior areas then the camo on top of that leaving the inners in 02. There is however always exception to the rules. Personally, without difinitive proof I'd go with 02 for the legs and inners and not beat myself up over it. Maybe Steve (Wumm) can shed more light on the subject. Cheers Bevan.
