Revell 1/72 bf109-G10

[Guest]

Hi All,

Here is my finished Revell 1/72 bf109-G10. It's the first model I've completed in a few years.

First time I've attempted a Luftwaffe mottle also scribing.

All in all I'm happy with it, though it could always have turned out better.

Please feel free to comment! All feedback is welcome.

Thanks

David

A well-weathered and beaten looking 109 David. Very well done, a great re-entry into modelling!

Excellent 109 David, and weathered just right, what a cracker.

A really nice Gustav David! I like the well-worn look - I'm building the same kit, so I hope mine turns out as well as yours.

Cheers

Thank you all for the positive feedback.

Back to the bench in the morning!

I hope this gets my building mojo back! (I've four kits started, I need to finish them.)

Nice return to modelling. And there you are standing at the top of a slippy slope into 'model world'...................

I really like it, David, looks great in those late war colours.

[Guest]

This looks really good David. I like the interesting colour scheme and the beaten-up look - just right for the period. The spiral on the spinner is really tricky to get right and this one looks perfect.

[Guest]

Looks great, nice and subtle touches and very good finish

[Guest]

David its really amazing the paint and weathering you've done,it really looks great and at 1/72 scale even more impressive! I would only critique the thickness of the aerial wires,just a tad too thick imho. Hope to see many more of your builds in the future as you get your mojo back,very nicely done Sir!

[Guest]

Great weathering David looks like its seen a few Dog Fights,


Maybe the Mottling effect is a bit low along the fuselage & would look better if a bit higher, but that is just my thinking... Still a Great job.

Many thank's everyone!


Yes, treyzx10r, the aerial wire is a tad thick on the horizontal. That is the first time I've tried the stretched sprue method. When I painted it it seemed to accentuate it.


Had real fun and games getting it to stick too!


I am also not sure about 'airbrushing Humbrol Clear'. It didn't seem to self level very well! When I used Microsol/Set it gave a smeared look on the spinner. Maybe the gloss cote wasn't thick enough?


Has anyone else got any opinions on this? I think it goes down better with the brush.
