GazzaS Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hello my Friends, Here is my first completion for the year. It's also the most effort I've ever put into a 1/48 scale build. But it won't be the last as I have some other great 1/48 scale kits by Dragon and ICM. 1./Ergänzungs-Zerstörergruppe Værløse was a temporary unit, stationed in Denmark formed from members of ZG 76 and new fliers that would eventually become part of NJG 3. Although there are only a few images of the unit that I have seen, I am guessing that there were a lot of training flights and flights escorting coastal convoys in the North and Baltic seas. Anyway... onto the pics! I hope you like it. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I like the Messerschmitt a lot Gaz. The slightly faded and well blended paintjob is outstanding. What amazes me most though, is that you kept the same painting style with the figures, as they are so well integrated. Sometimes figures do not fit the painting style of a plane, but not with yours. The whole setting is like looking onto a slightly aged color photo. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, hopefully it's something that comes naturally, and not a one-off. Perhaps it's even using the same matte clear... I dunno. But I truly appreciate you saying it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Everything looks natural, blending together like in real life. Positioning and overall composition of your diorama simply flows with the event. Nicely done Gary Cheers Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remainder are either ground crew or more stereotypical types. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
