AFV Modelling: February 2015

Bf 109 Fuselage

Cockpit was ready to built in, start with the fuselage, the exhausts are from Quickboost and superb detailed. The MG131 are brass parts. The parts special the cowling parts fit pretty good togetherand at least less putty must be used to close some thin gaps between the parts.

Bf 109 G-14 Cockpit coloured

The cockpit was airbrushed in Dark grey XF-24 as basic color, than a paler shade of grey was used for streaking and spotting points at the panels. The next step was drybrushing high points in lighter grey and painting some detail.
The seat belts are from Eduard also the Cockpit set was from Eduard and the whole cockpit was modified with this photo etched parts, the Quickboost stick is not my case at all I dont like the detail, the Revell stick was modified with a small plastic card and a copper wire, 100% better than the Quickboost., here some pictures enjoy!!

Check out my knowledge base for Bf 109 G-6 and G-14
