1/48 Eduard Bf109G-6 Dorr's Double Chevron
This kit was gifted to me by Bruce and being a Profipack edition, it was pretty much an out-of-box build. I did make custom masks for the painted crosses though. And a sliver of a Coke can to make the loop antenna. Tamiya and Gunze acrylics were used throughout.

Beautiful! 
That spinner and the JG-5 markings really makes this one sparkle. Well done!

Again I really like the green and white spinner. The entire project turned out great!

Re: 1/48 Eduard Bf109G-6 Dorr's Double Chevron
Thanks guys! I'm not sure where the idea of the green/white spiral came from as I have not seen photos that show the front of this aircraft. Eduard shows it as green and the Revell G-6 kit also shows it as green. The kit instructions say that the green is speculative and the spinner may have been black/white but I've done so many of those, I went with the green!

Wow! Outstanding!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
