Messerschmitt Bf109G-6 Academy 1/72

[Guest]

I reckon that's really good, not just for a 1st go, but for any go! Personally I think it looks larger than 1/72 which is always a sign of a good build.

All that's missing are more pictures!

Thanks for the video tutorial. It's good to see it being done. You obviously need a good eye and steady hands. Also the ability not to score the the canopy by putting too much pressure on the blade. I've yet to do a canopy mask!

Good job Wayne, you picked a difficult paint job for your first build but done well, whats next?

Nice job wayne! Thats excellent for a first time build , these academy 1/72 kits are great , good detail , easy build and very reasonably priced. So , whats the next build ? cheers tony

i think the next build might be the Revell Horton Go 229, it looks like a new detailed kit and something a little different

heres a couple more pics, i think i overdid the exhaust weathering but not enough other weathering like paint chips and dirt.

Ah well i live and learn

Nice one wayne for your first model. Some folk stay away from 1/72 because it is so difficult to work with. I have just picked up some chalk pastels which is a method of weathering that I have yet to try(Got the idea on this forum) But Iam hoping that it is method that will let you build up the staining slowly so you may want to try it next time. You can also wash it off before you seal it if you dont get it right first time. But once again well done on your first build. The cockpit canopy looks like it came out fine.

I fancy having a dabble with pastel chalks or maybe one of those Tamiya weathering sets

thanks for all the feedback people
