Just completed - my first model in 18 yrs!!

Hey guys,

I just finished up my first model since leaving high school in 1993 and it was also my first airbrush experience (apart from a little work done on a tank in December but that’s still in progress). Have a look - it’s Airfix’s 1:48 Bf 109E. Any comments or criticism welcomed. I know the decals sucked - badly our of register and I plan to inform Airfix.

Cheers,

VivianPS I’m male.

Looks good to me, and you seem to have a hand on the airbrush. Very nice, thanks for shareing

Very nice considering you’ve been out of the game for 20 years…nice mottling…

Looks great!

good job

welcome back,pretty nice work

Looks great. I did the Tropical 109 from Airfix. Its a lovely kit. I’m sorry you had problems with the decals. The ones in my kit were some of the nicest kit decals I’ve dealt with in a while.

Hey Vivian

Very nice build. Great job on the paint.

My next project is an Eduard 1/32 BF109. Hope it turns out as nice as yours. Thanks for the pics.

I get the name thing, my real name is Yvon, pronouned Ivan in english. It’s a french name. The first time anyone see’s it they pronounce it as Yvonne. So I go by my nickname which is Ives.

Anyways thanks for the pics and keep them coming. I’ll post up some of my Wildcat f4f-3 when i’m done. I made some mistakes but so far i’m happy with it.

Hello Vaw

The Emil looks great! One of my all time favorite aircraft. You certainly did it justice.

Mostly, thanks for sharing!

Out of modeling for 18 years? Hard to tell she’s a beautiful model! [Y]

Very nice work on the 109. Welcome back to the hobby.

Only thing I can say is WOW! Great job… looks better than anything I have done lately.

Welcome back - doesn’t look like you’ve missed a step to be honest. [Y]

Fantastic looking Emil!![B] [D] [t$t] Yeah, so I like the occasional cocktail but that is a great build. I just bought that Airfix kit and have heard many good things about it, [snWcm] back.

Guess it’s like riding a bike? haha Wow, great job, especially with little experience with an airbrush! The mottling is nice. Thanks for the inspiration. Look forward to seeing more! [:D]

Very Nice Job!!!

Looks like a winner to me.You seem to have nailed the color and scheme.

Awesome looking build and your a/b skills are top notch,great mottling!

Just good work, no critics [Y]

My models don’t look that good![:'(]
