Cool subject, but a hard model to build, especially in this small scale.
I would love to see this one in 1/144

Bartosz Medyński
It is a simple model, but it's a nice kit. A deck don't fit good to fuselage, but rest of model looks good. In theory it's a fast built, but i will make it as good as I can, so it will be some filling and sanding.

Martin Oostrom
I've got a sister kit, so definitely watching

Goldman
The 3D printed parts look very nice. High quality prints. Did you design them yourself? What printer did you use?

Moreno Baruffini
Here we are. My dear friend Eduardo convinced me to show also this project 🙂 If interested, you can read some information in the project's description. As usual, I model for fun 😊

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Moreno Baruffini
Today some progress, now waiting for the late Luftwaffe colours to arrive 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting one 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you both! 👍

Ps Lukasz, finally I bought the Italeri AMX 😀

Cuajete
And this is the "secret" Bf-109... 😉
Nice start, Moreno. Looks like the AZ's tail fin fits well.

Moreno, Where you bought the Italeri AMX?

Łukasz Gliński
Good for you mate, looking forward to seeing the build report 👍

Moreno Baruffini
@Cuajete: I bought the AMX in Italy from a well known Italeri' distributor, which usually offers discounts and cheap shipping rates 🙂
I can send you the reference, if interested

Cuajete
Thx, Moreno. I could take a look 👍

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you Bas and Guy for following this small project 🙂

Moreno Baruffini
Applied today the RLM76 and 75 for lower and upper surfaces.
I'm enthusiastic about the Hataka hobby red line colours: I found them perfect and very easy to manage 👍🏻

Cuajete
Well done so far, Moreno 👍
Glad to know those Hataka colors work well 👌

Moreno Baruffini
Today I worked on the upper surfaces, I confirm that the Hataka hobby colours are very suitable for airbrush painting

Cuajete
Great, Moreno! 👍

Cuajete
Moreno, that mottle template seems to work fine. If you want the mottling a bit more diffuse, you may need to move the template away a bit by putting a few small bits of blu-tack between the base and the stencil.

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you Cuajete, this was my first attempt, for this model I applied a smooth layer of grey that faded our some mottles, for the next 😉 I'll apply for sure your tip!

Cuajete
I'm sure your method will work too 🙂 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Today I started applying decals, nothing to be mentioned, they are good 👍🏻 Pic following soon

Cuajete
That profile looks great 👌

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you mate! I'm working now on some stencils, then stil some work to do 👍🏻

Cuajete
Almost in the finish line 👍

J35J
Excellent work, great job with the camo painting on the airframe!👌🏻

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you mate! I've applied the landing gear, but I don't have still a picture!

Very hot days in Italy this week, so I'll probably finish the model in the next weeks...

Cuajete
No problem, Moreno. From Spain I can understand what you feel 👍
Cheer up!

Peter Mollenhauer
Excellent work, you did a great job in refining this basic Airfix kit!

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you very much Peter, the model is still "on holiday", but the propeller is ready 🙂 I just need some more time to apply the antenna wire

Moreno Baruffini
Thank you for the like Ferenc! The model is on her legs, still missing the propeller and the antenna...The holidays are a bit longer... 😉

Nicolas
I'm following.

Trez Mackenzie
And yet the title and kit is a Messerschmitt Bf109G10 Erla? 2 different kits - different brand and different types

Moreno Baruffini
Good morning Trez, It' a sort experiment, I mixed different kits and aftermarket. Of course, it is not a model for a display 🙂

nikfrost
buckling up for this one!

yngvenett
Following this to learn. If possible, please include some pictures of how you make the rear lights and blinkers look realistic. I'm really struggling with it 🙈

CasModeler
1. Lights. You have to paint it using clear paints and rapid thinner. (dry coats high psi 20-25. )Then dip it into floor varnish. It makes clear parts more transparent. The last thing will be to glue a transparent film(foil)on the back of the lights. for example hasegawa mirror finish.

István Szücs
Great work so far! The dash is amazing, the chassis looks like the real one!

CasModeler
@Istvan
Anyway, not my best build. Paint job is not perfect because I experimented with thin coats and unfortunately metallic coat is too thin.

yngvenett
@CasModeler Thank you for your reply and good advice. It's very nice how the community of experienced builders help with knowledge. We don't have the floor varnish available here (Norway, Europe), but I will look for an alternative 👍

CasModeler
I forgot mentiom aboit the glue. Use only rubber-based clear adhesive otherwise clear part will be fogged.

gorby
Interesting!
Incidentally, as you keep producing some very interesting subjects I've just had a look at your stash - wow fantastic range of kits, I'm green with envy. 😄

Alex K
I'm in, of course (agreeing with everything Gorby said...)

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Mates 🙂

J35J
Always in on your builds😀

Robert Podkoński
It is good to have you aboard, J35J. Feel warmly welcomed!

AJMM
Really interested to see how this builds up. It's looking great so far!

Bruce Huxtable
Another space-saver! Wondering what interesting livery will bring this little gem to life? 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed AJMM and Bruce! @Bruce - I like most the most 'exotic' livery - the Manchurian one. @AJMM - I am a bit concerned about the main undercarriage legs, they are very thin.

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it, it's on my wishlist too (but in 72nd) 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Hmmm....perhaps display her in flight, Robert?

Ben M
👀

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Mates! @Bruce - I'm considering this option in fact 😉

Spanjaard
i am in, of course 🙂

Neil
Me too 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Spanjaard and Neil 🙂 I am back from vacations, so there will be next updates soon 😉

Marko
Well, I'd like to look at that. Worthwhile role model, that will be a nice model👍

Robert Podkoński
It's good to have you aboard, Marko 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good so far, definitely following. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Guy! Feel warmly welcomed 🙂

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat, Robert!
What a tiny little plane it will be... Fingers crossed and looking forward to the result! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Zbynek 🙂 Tiny it is, indeed... 😉
