colt6 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, I was always a fan from the Bf 109 and I love the german camo. As a swiss guy i'm interested in the swiss version and so I decided to build all the different versions. Bought from Trumpeter the E-3, G-6 and from Revell the G-6, starting with this model. Also bought for this model the Eduard cockpit set ( fighting with me not to buy from Eduard the engine ) and from HGW the seat belts. It was my first model after maybe 20 years and I worked step by step after a book from J.M. Villalba. So also the first time I used an airbrush . My other book is from Georg Hoch Bf 109 in Swiss service, its also available in english and I just can highly recommend it. Colors are most Vallejo, just lets just start and not talk to much ( I know that my english is maybe sometimes very confusing ) Oh my god! when I look at the pictures and I see: how bad I fit the cockpit in to the body, shame on me!! So when your model just stand in front of you: not so bad! But if you made closeup pictures........ Thanks Arno 2

efrick Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Very nice work, Arno! I love the mottling and weathering. I am still looking for the cockpit fit issue but I have not as yet spotted it. 1
