First real plane for 40 yrs, a Revell 1/32 Bf 109 G 10

Afternoon

This is only my second plane build in 40 odd yrs, picked up the Revell Bf 109 G 10 kit for a song

Built up the cockpit and got out the brush, not perfect but happy for my first real bash at a plane, just painted the moulded on seat belts




Hope it meets approval LOL

thanks bob

Bob,
looking good! I've got one of these in the stash - I want to try my airbrush mottling skills out on the fuselage - did you note that there aren't any swastikas on the decal sheet?

Don’t think Italeri supply them either Dave. I had to source aftermarket ones when I made a 1/48th Stuka a few years ago. It’s something to do with banned images in Europe.....Tamiya get around it by supplying a decal puzzle.....

[Tim Marlow]

Office is coming on well by the way Bob....

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks Awins and boatman, appreciated!!

Hi Dave, not surprised by the lack of swastikas, bought the actradecal set. Its a good kit to build, going well so far. The mottling does look good!

Evening Tim, you can see the brush painting mistakes lol

Next step i am dreading, joining the two fuselage halves, without ruining the join!

Evening Bob,
Great start mate:thumb2:
Only ever done two or three planes in my time so watching along with interest. There’s some excellent wingy thingy modellers on the forum, so much so I’ve been inspired to add some to my stash!

Hope the joining together goes ok:smiling4:

[BattleshipBob]

Hello there Si and thanks

Enjoying the build, different to a Stug lol

Got a few wingy things, mainly nightfighters, HE 219.

Bob,
Nice work on the office. If it's up to your normal stug standards we are in for a treat.

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Scottie, hope you are well

Hi Bob, nice start, I got this one in my stach too, so I'm surely following your project :thumb2:

Cheers, Steven

I would say that cockpit is looking rather flippin' good. And they have to be some of the best moulded seat belts I've seen.
