discussion Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2 1/24 (Completed)

[Steven000]

1/24 Trumpeter kit (02406)
It took me 6 years but after many 'shelved' situations I'm finally calling this one done

I painted it in a custom winter scheme based on a photo from 11./JG 5 who flew the older 109 models in the Arctic (Norway, Finland).
The markings were custom made. The kit was overall good, only the decals were extremely fragile (due to age?).
Some things were adjusted, like the landing gear which is not designed to be 'up'.

You can find the building thread here.

















Many thanks for watching - Cheers

Wonderful result Steven, it may have taken 6 years but well worth the wait. Superbly displayed on that Ikea base. I like the brass coloured rim.
