Anyway, here she is, done up as Josef Priller's ride.
I haven't built a base for it yet, so I put it on one I had made previously for a 1/48 Me109 that I gave to a friend. I may just leave it.
There are a couple things I'd change, if I was to do this one over. Primarily paint. Model Master RLM02 seems to look too much like concrete to me. I'd use a grey with bit more white/blue to it. I'd also find a better contrast to my mottle. Not much, but just enough to distinguish the different shades a bit more. Possibly even bring my blue up the fuselage sides a little higher. Also, I'd pay a bit more attention to my pics, and angle the antenna wire entering the fuselage, like it's supposed to be.
Otherwise, the kit went together exceptionally well. A little finicky where the lower wing attaches to the body, and the center seam on top was a bit pronounced, but nothing some good putty, sanding and a bit of time didn't fix.
The weakest part of the whole model, was the landing gear, (art imitates life), as the struts were thin, but the mounting points were really the issue. Not deep enough to give a good, positive, strong lock. I know this because shortly after installing them, I first broke one, then the other, just by bumping them with my arm. I would suggest, at a minimum, that you drill out the center and add a short piece of brass rod to reinforce them.
Other than a few other minor fit issues, I found this to be a well engineered and fun kit.
Thanks for looking
), I found that Priller had his splinter pattern oversprayed with a base of RLM02, and the RLM76 ended lower on the fuselage than most France based 109s. Then a mottle of RLM70 & 71. Once I actually got done and looked at the aircraft, I realized that next time, I won't go by RLM specs and the Model Master numbers, but rather use the standard issue eyeball to match colors on photos.
