I’m doing this 109 in the Messerschmitt Bf 109 Group Build so I thought I post some pictures here just in case you all don’t follow the GB route.

got the pit together

The IP got some decals punched out with my Micro Mark mini punch set and drops of Clear parts cement for the lenses

Hollowed out the exhaust stacks

Fuselage halves and spar assembled and glued

The ammo case chutes were drilled out and cleaned up

Found some small boxes in my spares drawer and glued them in place

Now the chutes have detail and depth

Canopy was masked inside and outside

Tape removed

The painting begins

Camo and side mottling completed then several coats of Aqua Gloss were sprayed in preparation for decals and Flory Washes.

Thanks dude. It’s an easy kit to work on. Real nice fit.

Are you going to Modelpalooza in a couple of weeks? If you are let me know to meet up there. I pre registered and I’m purty much set for the event. They have over 81 vendor tables so it’s going to be a great shopping event .

Thanks buddy! Hey if you are interested in this kit I then highly recommend it. It has a few minor discrepancies but with the corrections it makes a fine kit. Talking about 109s, just recently Trumpeter came out with a 1/32 K-4 with a full engine that’s a beauty. I recently got it on sale for about $40.

I can send you the links with the correction info for the G6 if you want it.

That looks just fabulous. Nice work.

I’m following this in the group build, but I like seeing it here, too. I missed the cockpit photo in that forum, and it looks amazing. Especially those belts. Are they aftermarket? What did you use for them?

Great job - I’m looking forward to seeing it come along.

Have been plugging away at this so here are a few progress pictures…

Got all the decals on and a combination of Flory and oil washes that still have to be tuned up here and there.

The next one I build will be different when it comes to the stacks. You have to either modify the stacks so they can be added after painting or do a lot of masking if done the Revell way. Masked the area and shot MM Burnt Iron Metalizer at 6 psi.

masking removed

Had some silvering under the wing crosses so no biggie there. Just used some post it notes to mask the crosses and shot some colors.

Got the tires assembled and painted. The tail gear broke off so it got pinned and now it actually swivels. I also flattened the tail wheel just a tad.

Did my home brew of oil and turp wash for the wells.

Did some streaks with oils for fluid stains. Letting things cure a bit then some Testors Flat Lacquer will be sprayed to kill the gloss. Some final assemblies and this G-6 will be done.

What a nice build!!!

I Like what you did with the wheels especially the “pin” with the tail wheel!!

Paint and camo SUPERB!!

I would be interested in that Trumpeter 109K sounds like a great deal!!

Thanks for sharing your techniques and tips it’s very appreciated!!

That’s an amazingly well detailed Revell kit. You guys are all starting to build 1/32 kits makes me want to do the same, but alas, I’ve got far too many 1/48 that need my attention. Besides, I could get lost adding details to such a big kit and may never find my way back.

Looking good my man!!

Thanks BT and Mike!

I’m mainly a 1/48 guy but just love the details in the 1/32’s.

Not it’s not Moelder’s. It’s the machine belonging to Hauptmann Karl Rammelt from II./JG 51 as it appeared while based in Rumania, April 1944.
