JohnB Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Imagine my surprise when I was checking out the models in one of my display cases and I saw a familiar looking Bf-109E. Now I find I have 2 models of the same a/c. The older build (in foreground) is a bit different from the other that I had just finished recently. I wonder which one is correct???? LOL Personally I like the one in the background better. I'm undecided if I want to do a repaint on the older model. We will see. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I am in agreement the the background unit has more eye appeal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Interesting to see the difference in the execution of the camo. The rear one definitely is the more appealing to me as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 John Pretty amazing how different the cammo patterns are. I'm with the guys as well as the rear 109 cammo is more eye striking. Â 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where I got the color scheme for the most recent one (Kagero monograph special edition #2 on the Bf-109E which has a lot of good art on the "E") but I'm not certain on the other one but I THINK it was from Eduard). I'll peruse the schemes in the Kagero book and pick another one for that a/c. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 John Has to be a first. I've built the same model twice over the years, but I don't think with the same cammo scheme. I would keep them both as the cammo schemes are different, yet the same and quite the conversation piece. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to go to all that trouble so, at least for now, I'll keep both as is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 John Agreed, keep both, they're beauties. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
