This
is my first attempt to take and edit pictures of a model, with Paintshop, not to
talk about publishing it on the net. The model itself is the beautiful
Hasegawa Bf 109 G6, with cutting edge posable seat belts ( nice but thick ) and
a few scratch built details, plus fishing line stretched with heat and painted
black for the antenna. Camouflage is done with the excellent Vallejo Model
Air, that offers a full complement of luftwaffe colours. Decals are the perfect
eagles calls, at least after 2 coats of future and a lot of solvaset, of which I
have chose the colourful Yellow 11" Bf 109 G-5 W. Nr. 27119 Gerhard Kroll
9./JG 54. An added bonus is the original picture that comes with the
decals, so that you can judge by yourself if the interpretation of the artist is
correct. In this instance I made the mottling more "dense", and
used the eagle strike mottle masks that are very useful. Weathering is
relatively heavy, done with Tamara smoke airbrushed, oil washes and Mig Models
pigments, made for armour but very good for planes too.
Hope
you like it.
