Since my ICM Yak-9T is well under way again, I decided to build her a little friend as well 😉 I chose on of my all time favorite kit, Hasegawa's 1:32 Bf 109G-6. Even though it's still a beautiful kit, there is a ton of after market stuff available, to iron out most of the kit's shortcomings. Luckily I have a few of these in my stash 👍

Beautiful cockpit Sebastian. Where did the belts come from? I tried the Kits-World belts and they were OK, but these look better.

Thanks mates!

@John: those are Eduard's pre coloured PE seat belts that came in the Löök set (with the instrument panel)

I just took a "timeout" from my MiG-15bis project. ...nothing more relaxing than some mottling 😎

The mottling does stand out. Very well done indeed. Its going to be a winner

Thanks mate! I'm indeed very happy with the mottling. However I'll have to touch up the markings to match the "standard" 😉

After a 3 hour session I managed to put on most of the decals ....the smaller ones I left out, were probably overpainted when the ground crew touched up the paint job 😉

…and she is finally done! I say "finally" with honest relieve. It's a model of a fighter, and for the last two weeks she fought me good: paint job peelingoff down to bare plastic, decals shifting their position unauthorized which I realized when taking the final pictures, a wing root split open after weathering….only after a gear leg snapped clean off which resulted in a broken drill bit now permanently stuck in the socket of said gear leg (…long story), I lost both wingtip lights to the carpet monster during final assembly and a healthy bit of paint bleed on the canopy frame. And why did all this happen (to me of all people 😉 ) might ask. Because I was rushing it….simple as that :-/ At least I got some have decent pictures, before she might fall apart entirely 😄
