crazydon Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Critique welcome. The only 2 issues I have are the front frame on the canopy seems a tad higher than it should be, but the reat of the canopy is tight as a drum real-time. No major sanding at the area either... I need to upgrade my lighting rig, the tires have a light coat of dust but you can't see it. I also found out after I was done decaling and flatcoating II/JG54 Bf 109F-2 had yellow leading wing edges...I decided better a finished model than try and fix it and screw (like pealing decals off with anything I used to mask things) Edited October 24, 2010 by crazydon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark M. Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I don't think that photo proves there were yellow leading edges on the wings. I've seen some indications of trailing edges, but not leading. Leading was too readily confused with spitfires and hurricanes, I would imagine. Also, the photo doesn't show a very clear yellow on the leading edge, but it does show apparently a yellow diamond where the swastika should be. I think it has been edited or censored (and yes, there was a lot of censoring on WW2 photos, removing aerial masts, etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Quijano Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sweet Messer, Don. I like the paint job in that camo. Congrats. Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazydon Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 ILeading was too readily confused with spitfires and hurricanes, I would imagine. I got that info/photo for a pretty good source. JG54 was on the Russian Front by this time so yellow leading edges wouldn't have been a problem.... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Touvdal Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Very nice job, love the Fine Moulds new bourght one think they are to expessive, waiting for a mailstream issue. Regarding the yellow leading edge, never seen it that before, but just found this and I am now convinced. And it is a very interesting discovery. http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/mess.../Hrabak%27s+F-2 http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/mess.../Hrabak%27s+F-2 cheers Jes Edited October 28, 2010 by Touvdal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bit the bullet and bought a batch of the FM kits, their pricey but worth the money in the long run Quote Link to post Share on other sites
