JohnB Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Revell Bf-109K-4 that I had started a while back but put on the SOD. Rescued and completed! Painted with MM, Mr. Color, Gloy and AeroModel. Belts are FineMolds. Cockpit, spinner/prop, and decals are EagleCals, etc. I'm glad to have finally finished this one and I hope y'all like it. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 So compared to the ZM one , is there any comparison or is it just "Revell" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much easier build with none of the headaches. I don't think it appears much different from the ZM except for the engine compartment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 16, 2023 Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2023 That looks quite decent, John. I was unsure of your paint choices, but it looks great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 That one was worth the save John, the paintjob comes out particularly nice and super smooth. The Fine Mold belts look the part, seems like I have to give them a try, less tedious than HGW ones. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little unsure too but thought, WTF, give it a shot. Turned out pretty well I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those FineMolds belts can be tricky to use since they are hard to bend without breaking them. I found that holding them up to a hot incandescent light bulb with a pair of tweezers enables one to bend them to shape without breaking them (usually!). I nearly always use them since they are so much easier to use than threading buckles, etc through fabric/paper belts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
