It’s always a joy to watch your progress and learn your methods. You make it look to easy yet I’m intimidated to try it on my own kits out of fear of screwing it up. Well done!

The tail wheel strut doesn't come with the fabric boot that was common on many G-6's. So I decided to sculpt a simple boot using Milliput.
I've finished painting the wheels...
The landing gear legs from Synthetic Ordnance Works have been glued into place.

Thank you! Most of the weathering stuff I do is on the subtle side so its really easy to try out. For example, I actually did a second round of salt fading on the wings and again... it didn't register visually.BlackSheep214 wrote:It’s always a joy to watch your progress and learn your methods.

I think I'm approaching the finish line for the Hohenjager. With the SAC landing gear legs firmly glued into place, I've attached the Barracuda wheels using JB Kwik Weld to make sure the flat spots connect with the ground.
All of these bits need to be attached now.
The AMUR Reaver supercharger, the Barracuda exhausts and the brass sheet exhaust deflectors are glued into place.
The lower inner flaps are put on first and the other control surfaces follow. The middle elevators are still poseable per Revell's instructions but the rest of the control surfaces have been glued.
Let's stick the Barracuda prop assembly on and she how she looks.
All of the spray work is done so I can finally take off the canopy masks. Always a nerve-racking reveal at this stage.
The sculpted boot on the tail wheel is painted.
The drop tank has not yet been attached. I'm still deciding whether or not to add some more stains to it.
You know you're close to the finish when you see the antenna mast and loop antenna attached.
The only things remaining are the small antenna on the bottom of the fuselage, the aileron balancers and the antenna aerial.

With the supercharger and prop in place she sure does look mean! Always a good feeling to remove the canopy masks and find that everything is how you left it. Not much more to go now.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That is a masterpiece! I am awestruck by the crisp masking and clarity on the canopy. You are a wizard!
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!"..

It looks like Mickey is presenting the newly revealed cockpit!
And yes, this looks gorgeous!

Thanks guys! The G-6/AS is wrapping up. I've added some additional weathering to the drop tank, which you won't be able to see since it will be on the top side. Experimenting with intentional pastel wash staining on a matt surface...
The drop tank is the last significant hardware to be added to the G-6. The pitot tube, which was built out of brass tubing, is added and the aerial, using Uschi's elastic thread is the final touch.
The Bf109G-6/AS is complete! The clouds started gathering again here in SoCal so I rushed some outdoor shots with the DSLR before the rain comes again. I'll probably re-do the final shots when there is some ambient sunlight but here are some pics with the good camera...
