Looks pretty good. Makes me want to buy this kit.
Whatever you do, do NOT buy the Academy F-14 in 1:48 (box art is the same as the Academy 12563 in 1:72), entirely different kit, really terrible, looking quite different than the new 1:72 kit. Mine in 1:48 ended up in the bin and for good.

Thank you, the combination of this kit is quite good. I recommend purchasing it

Bill Newcomer
Very nice! How did you like painting wheels?

Chris Reimann
Thank you. I masked the outer rings, airbrushed the body color and cleaned the "lips" in the center with a cotton swab.

Nigel Chapman
It's the wheels that stand out, nice job Chris

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

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 👍

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... 😉

I'm following.

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