2. I purchased the kit for half its
normal price from EBay. The seller had brought it over from Japan as the
box was marked with its price in Yen. |
3. By the time these photo's were taken most
assembly had been done and the last few etched items from an Eduard set
were being added. |
4. By March 2005 we had completed the initial
sub-assemblies and had airbrushed a black undercoat before the
camouflage top coat. Then the hand painted details were added.
|
5.
The matt coat provide a good base for the
artist chalk weathering added at this point. The colour has been mixed
with Humbrol Enamels from a sample. Tamiya only quoted their own
paints..... |

6. ....in this case the quoted paint was a
spray can which we went out and bought. Sadly the spray can paint was
not compatible with the undercoat so it couldn't be used itself. |
7. After the chalk weathering was applied
the components were airbrushed with a gloss coat to seal in the chalk
and provide a suitable base for the brown acrylic wash. |
8. The acrylic will just soak into the matt
coat without running into the detail as we need it to. After the wash
the dry-brushing is performed over the completed model. |
9.
The model is now complete and is a little
over 70mm long. |

10. The decals are from the kit and were
applied before the wash.

11. These photo's were taken with the Bf109
E4 diorama featured elsewhere on this web site. |
