Lothar Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Last year I was admitted to hospital with acute kidney failure which was completed two days later with a complete liver failure. While in ICU I had a lot of time to think and made a promise to myself: Should I somehow get out of this I'll be back at the modelling bench the day I get home. And did I keep the promise: 5 large scale models finished in less than 5 months. This was one of them: It's the Revell G-6 kit with a few AM extras added like in the cockpit and the underwing guns. Paints are Gunze/Mr. Color, decals came from Sky (surprisingly good) and some home made masks from Tamiya tape. Hope you like what you see. Lothar 6 1
smitty44 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Beautiful build Lothar, but what is best is that you were able to keep that promise to yourself! 2 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 15, 2020 Administrators Posted April 15, 2020 Lothar. That's the nicest 109 I've seen in a long time. The paint sure sets it off. Did you use the AMUR Reaver nose set for it? 2 1

Martinnfb Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 What a survival story ! Hell yeah. Very different look on 109, I like the subtle weathering and very cultivated approach. Bravo ! Cheers Martin 2 1

Since then I enjoy modelling a lot more than I did before Is it still cold and winterly in Alberta??? Lothar 1
Martinnfb Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 We just woke up to blizzard. I’m little tired of this winter. 1
Lothar Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 Gee, that looks indeed scaring. We have a solid +25°C and no rain in weeks, nature is drying out in my neck of the woods and we're considered to live in a moderate climate zone. Strange world. Lothar 1
Bomber_County Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Lothar, stunning 109.......glad you made that promise as we wouldn’t have seen a beautiful build......... 1 1
DocRob Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Nice 109, it's fascinating how a change of scheme and colours makes the known view of the 109 into something new. Cheers Rob 1 1
npb748r Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I agree with Rob, the different markings makes the plane look different somehow. Great choice of scheme and great build. 1 1
GazzaS Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Excellent build, Lothar! A beauty for certain! 1 1
