Yep, I see that now. I was looking at their side numbers. 🤪

#21? Maybe......

This time another Hasegawa/Revell kit. Late war Bf-109K. I'm undecided on which one but it will be one of these 4 shown in this book. Stay tuned! Click on the photos for a clearer view.

Thanks Phil. I'm pleased with it too. That yellow tail gives it a different than usual look I think.

Thank you Peter.

Thanks Gaz! I'm glad you like it. I found that little antenna post on the carpet under my desk! Glad I didn't have to scratch one. LOL

Finished with this one! https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19234-fw-190d-9-completed/

Hasegawa/Revell kit. Enjoyable kit to build with very few headaches. After market used was the True Details cockpit set rescued from the '190A-7 that crashed and burned (yes, I know it's a bit different in a D-9 but I used it anyway!). Painted with MM, AeroMaster, Mr. Color, Mig and some of my own "mixes". Decals are from Eaglecals. I really like the very late war Luftwaffe color schemes and I plan to do some more. I hope you like it!

Looking good Peter! 🖕

Thank you Gaz!

Cool!

Thanks Peter. I was hoping to avoid that on this build. 🤪 Now I'll have to scratch one as I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks Kevin!

Tail painted! (And of course I managed to break off the antenna post.) 🤪

Thank you Peter. I'm looking forward to applying the decals as I think they will really set it off nicely.

Camo painting done. Next will be a overall clear gloss in preparation for decaling. That light green RLM 82 sure looks unusual but will be fine after decaling, etc is done. (There is some confusion in references as to what is RLM 82 and what is RLM 83. Some say 82 is dark green while some say it's the light green. Same goes for the RLM 83. Go figure. I just go by photos and/or good artwork and make my own decision as to what's what, etc.)

Thank you MARU!

Looking good Chris!

Thanks Peter. It's some of both. During the war paint suppliers had different interpretations of what certain colors should look like plus there might be several different suppliers. It also depended on what they had available to work with. And there would be several different "companies" supplying a/c components which would lead to even more diversity, etc. About the same rule applies to model paint makers today although I don't think the supplies are as difficult to come by plus references are much more available, etc.

At the painting stage! As some of you know RLM 84 has several variations of which I have posted three versions. I chose to use the #3 version of the paint "chips" which is a old AeroMaster color. RLM 75 also has more than one version. For the under wings I chose to use version #1 from the paint "chips" which is White Ensign. For the upper wings I used version #2 which is another old AeroMaster color. I'll post a photo of the top sides when I've finished painting them.

Hasegawa 1/32 kits are very nice with great detail. Fit is, for the most part, very good. Recommended.

I've decided to change subjects. Since I built a D-9 in 2013 of the same unit (JG 26) with similar markings I think I'll do this a/c instead. Same unit but different markings, etc. Those are original Luftwaffe boots. I have another pair I'd sell. PM me if interested.

Yes, it's a re-boxing of the Hasegawa kit.

More progress!

Thanks Peter.
