Yet one more Bf109 If only the Germans had this many......
Canopy is in progress and since lemurs ate one of the clear pieces I had to order a new one from squadron.
Tamiya 1/48
Scratchbuilt cockpit detail and brakelines and landing gear detail.

Hi Chevalier

I couldn't see your pics - maybe it's my settings. Are you in the Battle of Britain campaign? - it sounds like you should be...

All the best

Damn, can't see your pics either, where are you hosting them? If it's Yahoo, or webshots or some place similar they don't allow hosting off their sites. Best bet is to open an album at MSN, home page top right. :-)

Sorry guys, the gentleman thats letting me use his gallery site, made some changes after I posted, effectively shooting the Bf out of the forum. Went in and made the fix.

The paints are all Tamiya with some oil washes.
The antenna is corona wire. A very fine wire used in xerox and laser printers to fuse the toner. Very fine wire.

I do not build aircraft but I do know what a good one should look like.
This one looks like a good one.
Nice Work,

Andrew

Get out of here, Oberst! The last thing we need is for you to switch over to wingy things, too.

This is a fine piece of work, chevalier. I like the weathering and it looks like you did a good job with masking the yellow nose and the camouflage.
