Revell bf 109 g6 Erich hartmann

[coolboxx]

Hi all, I am liking the new look of this great site well done all. 

I am cutting my teeth on Revell's great bf 109 g6, so having  another go at her. Erich hartmann's 9/JG 52 believed to be his backup g6. Small red no. "2" inside  yellow 1. Having seen the film where this aircraft came about, had to have a go. 

Using barracudas great little oil cooler,quick boost's gun bulges, joystick, turbo charger intake, Brassin landing gear, Eaglecals no 132. 

Tamiya acrylic mixes RLM 74, 75 and 76

Looking good so far!  Good call on the Brassin landing gear, the one G-6 that I built using the kit parts collapsed after a couple of years on the shelf.

Nice! What seatbelts are you using?

Hi JP, HGW not the laser cut ones, but next time I will consider the already cut ones.

Underwing weathering underway

Update with camouflage pattern on, I have decided to stick with rlm 74, 75 and 76 in various shades after watching this film clip many times. I do believe it's a g6 with  tall tail. Here is the link to find the film,  if anyone is interested.

Adding decals, filters and weathering. As you may guess I am ahead on this build and hope to finish up by this weekend... I am putting the final finishing touches to her..........

Thx Bevan, this was a very unusual camouflage style for a 109.

Very very nice. Those Revell kits are a steal even with the few bits of am
