discussion Dave W's Airfix 1/48 'Muncheberg' BF109E-7

[Dave W]

Ive sprayed the dunkelgrun part of the camo. For this i used Humbrol enamel 242. Ive noticed in steves photos of the real aircraft the forward fairing of the engine air filter is painted yellow. Airfix instructions show it as RLM 65 blue. So that will need correcting when ive done the rest of the paint scheme.

This is because the entire upper cowl came off in one piece and then the rear cowl also came off in one piece (to replace the ammunition boxes for example). With both off the front part of that air intake was left exposed and easily painted to match the front cowl. 


Here's an Emil with both cowlings removed so you can see what I mean.


Cheers

Looks sharp Dave, very nicely done.

Ive had a go at the mottle tonight.Sprayed RLM02 first. Then did the dunkelgrun. I think the dunkelgrun mottle is a bit over scale. So i will go over it with RLM02 tomorrow.

the airfix 109 is a great kit.


Good job on this one mate


The splinter camo looks especially nice

Ive just masked and painted the prop spinner. Next stage is to put the decals on the model.

Mottle looks good Dave, it's really coming to life now.

 

[Dave W]

Decals going on. Swastikas are from an Xtradecal sheet as Airfix dont provide then these days.
