Messerschmitt Me-109G-6, Italeri 1/72nd

Messerschmitt Me-109G-6

NOTES: This the first model I thought I'd made well enough to photograph. I found some problems with the fit of the cowling sections, but otherwise the model is basically trouble free in construction. I added seatbelts from a generic WWII Luftwaffe set by Reheat, and the figure is from the Airfix Luftwaffe Personnel set. As I was new to weathering, I completely overdid the exhaust staining by applying with an airbrush - it looks like it's had a bad engine fire in flight! This model later became damaged and I'm using it as a crash victim diorama subject...again, watch this space.…

Extras: Reheat seat straps

Finish: Xtracolour Enamels, Humbrol Matt Varnish

Brush: Badger 150 copy, with direct compressor (no tank or pressure regulator)
