Arseny Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Well, here're some pics of the model I've been doing, I guess, already for a year or so with some time breaks =) This is Bf-109G-6 of Georg Amon - quite famous "white 9" "Seeman" I started to demask the canopy Here're the wheel wells. I tryed to make them look more realistic - scratchbuilding, drilling, comparing with photos and, of course, lots of screaming loud Unfortunatelly Moskit exhaust pipes can't be seen clearly on this pic - still can't figure out how to use macro function :( Just believe that those are Moskit exhaust pipes ;) Well, the right board of the model. Exhaust pipes still masked on this pic (white tail band as well). The look from above ;) Yesterday I discovered that the line between RLM76 and RLM74/75 should be a little bit lower, comparing with photos. Well, hope to hear you critique.

D_IcarUS_ Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Nice paint job. I really like it!!! What brand of colours do you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn C. Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Arseny, the camo looks great! I also like the way you drilled out the lightening holes in the main gear area; that is something that makes a Bf-109 look that much more realistic. Keep the pics coming as you progress!

Arseny Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Thanx , guys, for comments! What brand of colours do you use? Those are Gunze Sangyo acrylic paints. I'm really glad you like it I'll try to take more pics of the subject as it progresses. Thanx everyone :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I.Illes Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Great job so far! Keep posting! As for the macromode of the camera: try to keep a distance about 40-70 cm to the model when using macromode, then the pics will be sharp. István Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arseny Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 István! Thanx for comments - I'll try that tip next time I'll get the camera. Unfortunatelly, it wasn't my :D I already reworked the mottling and took off the masks. It looks very horny without the masks :lol: Especially the cockpit. It's sad that canopy is closed (I don't like the look of opened canopy - don't why) as I scratchbuilt some parts. Hopefully I'll be able to photo those tiny bits ;) I guess it's ready for decals and for some weathering in the future. Jakub, also thanx for comments! How's your Dora? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arseny Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Oh, I also wanted some pics that I took the day I was taking pics of Gustav. Thought that these may be interesting to some of you. This my Me-262 1/72 from revell. Actually it's my 1st models I tried my Aztek. I used Xtracolour, Revell and Humbrol enamels. It still lack the canopy as I need vacuum formed one. My colleague promised to help with it. Frankly speaking the models is "in progress" already for 2 or 3 years ;) Anyway, here're the pics: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Launch_code_sequence Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Fantastic attention to detail! Your camo looks awsome! Vaughn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirage2000 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi Arseny, Really nice paint job ;) Are you sure of the upper wings splinter scheme? I've checked some references ( Aero details5 and other ones ) and it looks there are some inaccuraties in your pattern. But I cant certify, Germans had at least 4 RLM74/75 upper wings schemes :) Otherwise your kit looks great. Luc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arseny Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hi, Luc! I've copied upper wings splinter scheme from Eduard mask scheme. I agree that there could be some inaccuraties. Frankly speaking I've found several mistakes in Hasegawa's painting scheme with the help of photos and discussing the model and "prototype" with my colleague Mansur. PS. Sorry for no contacting you for so long (concerning G-12 resin cockpit - I felt that I couldn't afford new resin set for the model I didn't have > I still have too many models to build). Anyway, Thanx, Luc!! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, Thanx, Luc!! :) Hi Arseny, Don't need to apologise ;) I've been tempted by the same splinter on my G12 but presuming that the G4 used wasn't one of the last production, I've arbitrary chosen the early camo pattern. I've never seen the Hasegawa or Eduard patterns, all I can say about that is based on Aero detail, pictures, Squadron In-action aznd other books. The Hobbycraft pattern aren't very accurates too. If it can help you for the next Bf I can send you pics of the differents wings scheme. Luc P.S. I think it's a common ill in modellers family... If I want to buy all my models , I have to live till ...150 years :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arseny Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 Well, MERRY CRHISTMAS EVERYONE! Today I come with update pics of my Gustav. Well, here they are: I know that they mostly are out of focus, but still can't figure out how to use macro mode. The model isn't that dirty at the moment as I haven't finished weathering the panel lines when I taking pics of it. So, again MERRY CHRISTMAS, Guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Touvdal Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hej Arseny Super good model, lookes fantastic B) But unfortunately the upper wing camoflage scheme is wrong no 7./JG 53 maschines during this period carried the "tannenbaum" type of patten. Clearly seen in Prien JG 53, vol. 2 page833,834,869. Also the letter in Seemann is not yellow but white. I have build this in 1/72 recently, and i can see i have made one mistake the oilcooler intake shut bee yellow, will correct it asap. http://www.sitecenter.dk/touvdal/nss-folde...09/Amon%201.jpg http://www.sitecenter.dk/touvdal/nss-folde...09/Amon%202.jpg regards Jes Touvdal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WW2nut Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Excellent work Arseny!!! I am most impressed with the mottling on the fuselage sides...I think you absolutely nailed the look of the real a/c! Well done! B) Happy holidays, Joe Youngerman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to my information, Georg Amon flew G-6 which had Wr.Nr.18107 and was built on Messerschmitts factory. Upperwing camouflage was typical mostly to Erla built Gustavs and some number of G-6 that were built on BFW. Again, according to my information this camouflage featured planes built on BFW numbered from 18000 to 18899. Anyway, thanx for the information, but I guess I should leave the upper camouflage wich already has decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
