Kaireckstadt Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Here are some pics of my small diorama with the Messerschmitt Bf-109 F-4/trop. representing a scene when Lt. Marseille achieved his 50th victory in North Africa in February 1942. The model is the Hasegawa Bf-109 F with figures from Aires representing Marseille and his Sqn Ldr. Homuth. The barrel is from Tamiya. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Very nice little dio. The figures look believable good and I like, how the 109 blends into the surrounding sand. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camouflage scheme is not one of the most attractive for a 109 but I‘m really interested in the character of Marseille and the history behind him. I have 2 really nice books: 1 about him and his life (sadly only in German) and another one about the planes he flew. Can really recommend them for the ones who are also interested in this iconic fighter pilot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figures are from Aires and are sculptured based on a foto from Marseille and Homuth discussing after his 50th victory. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landlubber Mike Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I love it! Great model and great diorama! I've always been scared away from those Aires and other figures, as the boxes make the figures look a little rough. But they seem to actually be quite nice with crisp details. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your compliment Mike. You are right: the Aires-Figures are really nice and crisp. The Homuth-figure even has a cigarette between his fingers. Only the smoke is missing... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Excellent diorama and 109, Kai! And I really like your figures! I even bought "Der Stern von Afrika" and enjoyed watching it. Marseille is a tragic figure to me in that he was untouchable in combat but fell because of engine trouble and a bad bail-out. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your feedback Gaz! Really appreciate that. You are right, he is a really tragic figure. I sometimes thought how his career would have continued if he didn’t die when he bailed out. He was the third fighter pilot to reach 150 victories and all in the west. The other 2 were fighting at the Ostfront. The film you mentioned is old but still very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5ikl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Outstanding build Kai. Love the diorama aspect. I have built that kit but in a different scheme. Still have one in the stash to do as Marseilles bird also. Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to put my models into a small scene so that the viewer can imagine a story behind the model. And it also is a good training to painting figures which I hated a couple of years before. But with simple techniques it’s not that complicated. You will laugh, I‘ve also build a second one of his aircraft (see attached fotos). Which one did you build and which one do you plan to? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to do the same as you did above but as Black 1 of Franz Scheiss. Maybe Marseilles later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your G-2 is stunning build, Jerry! I‘m a fan of mottling on a 109 and yours is a perfect example. Very well done! Is this the Revell variant of the Hasegawa kit? Who was the pilot of your beauty? Good choice of decals because the bar and the 8 in yellow are real eye-catchers! Are they Eagle Cals? I think you can build Franz Schiess‘ plane out of the box when you build the Revell G-2. Do I remember right? Looking forward to seeing another one of your 109s here! Thanks again Cheers Kai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
