matrixone Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This kit has been in my stash for a very long time, its the older Fujimi 1/48 scale Bf 109G/K that was produced in the late 1970s. My model was built O.O.B. but used EagleCals for the markings which are for ''yellow 4'' of IV./JG 5. Those familiar with Bf 109 camouflage schemes will notice this one is painted pretty strange which suggests this aircraft may have been a recycled airframe or was partly repainted after repairs from combat damage.

Great to see your work again, sir. Impeccable and inspiring! Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thank you Liberator24, Rocat, and Patrick. I appreciate the comments! Liberator24, I never like to give up on older kits, they may not look as good as todays modern kits but are every bit as much fun to build. Matrixone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jordan03 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Fantastic job on a tough kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thank you jorden03! The actual building of the kit was not too bad...getting it to look like a 109 was a little more difficult. :) No amount of paint can help this old kit look as good as modern kits.
