…109F4 of JG 3 in Russia, 1942…Hasegawa quarter scale, resin cockpit…unit was slated to go to Africa but diverted to Russia, hence the weird scheme: grey and green patches over the sand base…

…please comment…

Cool scheme and wonderfully executed! [tup]

Outstanding job on this one. Very nice and different scheme that I have never seen before. Very clean build. One question?, how did you paint the topside camoflage, was it done freehand or were masks used.

Thanks, the camo was done freeehand using my refs as a guide…this unit’s planes are very well documented w/ pics…I penciled on the major camo on the base sand before airbrushing…

That’s one really nice 109 Manstein. Where did you get the markings for it? That camo scheme is realyy top notch and a real eye catcher. I am thinking that would be a great subject to try one day.

Love your work!!..[#toast]

Beautiful plane! What airbrush are you using? I have admired your work for sometime and always look forward to seeing new builds.

Thanks, I saw a pic of it in the Schiffer publication: ME/Bf 109 G, G, K Series. I scavenged the decals from various sheets to make it into this a/c:

I like that look! Great job as usual. [bow]

Well done Eric! I have seen profiles of that aircraft, and was intrigued by the unusual camo. Did you use the Quickboost sand filter?

Sharp! Very very sharp!!!

Now THAT is a cool scheme… and beautifuly executed.

Thanks, I believe I lifted that filter from a True Details set…best one I have ever seen…

…thanks everyone…I have always liked the sleek looks of the F model over the G w/ it’s cowl “bumps”…however, I plan on posting a couple of G’s soon: one flown by Graf (G-5) and one flown by Hartmann (G-14), both w/ tulip noses…
