1:32 Hasegawa Bf 109K-4

[nzdavidh]

Not sure this can be legitimately counted as a 2014 completion, 99.8 per cent of the work was done in 2013. Here it is anyway, my finished 1/32 109K-4

 

Not worried about flattening the main wheels, it sits in long grass on its base!

 

 

 

 

Tried one against a white background

That is gorgeous!  Perfect job of capturing the late war Luftwaffe look.

Very nice Nzdavidh. I've got 3 of these bad boys in my stash (Revell boxings) and was trying to decide what to build. This is a great inspiration.

Love it Dave, what paints did you use. The decals....EagleCals? Love love love the late war 109's cheers Bevan.

[rkranias]

very nice rendering.  weathering is well done.

Thanks Bevan, pretty much exclusively Gunze RLM colours... some custom mixing going on for tonal variation. No decals other than for data stencils, Montex masks.

[Daywalker]

Perfectly captures the "look" of late-war Luftwaffe birds, bravo!

[Wumm]

Lovely weathering David,

 

I look forward to seeing her in the flesh @ QMHE later in the year.

Yep - "She' got the 'The Look'!"  Looking forward to seeing how you go with a G-10 project!  Cheers, Ralph.

A beauty indeed.

 

I have started building this machine and intended doing her as found (isn't she pictured at war's end with bent props and damaged radiator sitting under a derelict Italian bomber?) all bashed up...

 

Yours is a finish to aspire to..

If I wanted to build one of these, I'd be as chuffed as hell to have it look like that....seriously nice. That mottle is quite something..

[nzdavidh]

Thanks folks. I'd like to do "Gigi" a G-10 with the early style tail as my next 109 project. Waiting so see whether I can achieve this from the Revell G-10 boxing or by cross kitting their G-10 with their G-6 (you can't do it from the Hasegawa kits without surgery).

[Dave J]

Beautiful David! Love the late war 109's!

[DougN]

Looks great, well done sir!

That's a project I'd like to do as well.  I'm thinking that the next G-10 will be Erla only though, hopefully we'll see WNF and Regensburg G-10's a little later.

Yet another reason to smile.........

[Typhoonattack]

Excellent. I hope my own (1:24 scale), K-4 ends up looking as nice.

[franck]

Very Nice K-4 the painting is just superb...well done!!

 

Cheers FRANCK.

You could try to graft the 'short tail and rudder' from the Revell G-6 onto the Hasegawa tail. Those are all spare parts in the Revell G-6.

Great paint job!

[nzdavidh]

Thanks once again folks. Appreciate all the feedback.

[chrisk93]

Very nice build.

[Artful69]

It doesn't have to win any competitions to make anyone think it is any better than it is ... but I think it sure would!! ... that is an awesome build

Stick it on a dio of grass ... and photograph with sky in the background - you'd be hard pushed to think it was anything other than real

 

Rog.

[kuya]

love the way you did the exhaust do you have a process , paints on how you did it

[Beychevelle]

Such a beauty!

 

Fantastic paint job!
