[jkim]

Here is my recently completed 1/32 Hasegawa Bf109G-14 build of Erich Hartmann's Double Chevron.




The aftermarket items used in this build include:
1. MDC Bf109G-14 Cockpit Set
2. MDC Bf109G Tail Wheel
3. RB Productions Bf109G-6 Wheel Wells
4. Resin exhausts (maker unknown)
5. Strategic Ordnance Works Bf109G Landing Gear
6. Barracuda Bf109G-6 Spinner and Prop
7. Barracuda Bf109G-6 Oil Cooler Fairing

Major markings were painted with custom cut masks from my Silhouette Portrait cutter. AK Real Color paints were used to establish the underlying RLM74/75/76 camo. Tamiya and Mr Hobby Aqueous paints were also used.

Another beautiful build for the display shelf John! I learned a lot from following this build just like I do from all of your work.

What's a guy say to THAT??? Just an unbelievable turn out. Paint and weathering is out of sight as is the details. That right there is a build to be proud of is all I've gotta say. WOW!!

Wow! Put that against a scenic background and shoot it in a sepia or black and white setting on your camera and there would be no telling the difference between your model and a real period historical photo! What a stupendous job! Words fail me....

Another beauty of a build! I can only imagine how your display shelves look...

Thanks John! I'm glad you liked the build!

Thanks Clint! I actually learn alot during my builds too. Wasn't sure how to approach the segmented winter camo and jumped into it without having a clear idea in my head. The chipping fluid issues forced me to change my approach and it just worked itself out in the end.

Oh man... that is beautiful!!

Thank you Tom!

Thank you Joe! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to paint and weathering but the learning process has been very enjoyable. It seems like each build presents a set of challenges and this one wasn't free of difficulties.

Thanks Duke! There is a lot of interpretation that goes into these WW2 builds. I think that is one of the reasons why I enjoy them versus a modern jet. I mean, you know exactly what a modern jet looks like because of the high quality photos and videos that are available. But with these older warbirds, the end of the build process usually gives me a "whoa... is that what it may have looked like?" feeling. Like a box of chocolates...

Another beauty of a build! I can only imagine how your display shelves look...

Thanks Carlos! 100% of my large scale builds are destined for overseas. Right now I have a backlog of deliveries to make but normally my display shelves are devoid of the 1/32 models. I still have a collection of my older 1/48 builds though.
