Playing in the Sandbox Group Build Sept 1, 2024 - Jn 1, 2025

Me109 E-4 Trop JG27 Black 8 (DML)


Recommended Posts

I have finally set up another image hosting account (imgur - not convinced, but we'll see).

 

a tricky build to get the cowling done but everything did fit

 

all paints MRP

0.2mm H&S Evolution

blackbasing and then mottling was a new one for me

little bit of HST on wing roots and propellers

kit wheels after binning North Star (beautiful but hubs slightly loose inside tyres) and Eduard (pitted resin - early Eduard resin junk, but they are much better now)

weathered with oils but not much needed after the paint

 

hope you like it

forgot to say markings are all masks from TopNotch with exception of geschwader marking (Eagle Strike decal), and fuel triangle (DML decal)

Very nice Trop Nick, with a very convincing finish.

I guess you have heard that there is no external image hosting required for LSM. Just click on 'choose files' in the bottom line of your thread and with choosing your pics, they will upload into the forum.

Nick, very very nice, the finish and camo are superb. Really like the realistic prop and  how the camo flawlessly meddles with the rest of the plane........congrats on a great build.......how did you find the Dragon kit, any major headaches......

cheers guys

no I didn't know about direct upload, so thank you :hsmack:

imgur...yeah i'm still struggling with single click on each photo to upload multiple pics but hey ho

the kit is tricky but is significantly better than than the Eduard offering my view - i added the rivets myself with a Rosie the Riveter wheel and it's pretty simple

forgot to add the seat is quickboost: not entirely correct but less wrong than anything else out there in my humble opinion

i have a ton of in progress pics but just don't have the time for for build logs; if anyone has any specific queries re the nose section, let me know and i will see if i have a pic that may help

cheers again

Nick

Cheers Steve, hope you are well

I have 'lurked' for quite a while both here 'the other place' lol

in the meantime i have been spending most of my online modelling time on Facebook SMCG - bit of a zoo, but i learnt some new things, and it's nice to get a fresh view every once in a while
