Cute, Holger. Mine is just entering painting. I like this kit despite of the troubling fit of the canopy and the undersized propeller. Do you know a good aftermarket source for a replacement prop?

Gotta hate these Revell color callouts. Is that RLM75/83? Boxart seems to suggest RLM81/83?

You are right Burkhard, Revell wont make it Easy to us! This time i wanted to do a 74/75, Not as suggested in The instructions! This is an jg7 aircraft and they had this camo in August '44!

Perused a few books in the meantime and that suggested to me RLM75/83 with RLM76 sides/undersides. With RLM83 being Dark Green. Looks like that's exactly what you did when viewing your pictures, while what you are saying is 74/75 wihich would be two shades of grey?

Möglicherweise hast Du recht!
Doch soll es Ende August '44 genau diese "grautarnung" im jg7 gegeben haben. Ob nun bei dieser Markierung weis ich nicht aber ich find es sieht geil aus😢!

Don't get me wrong, this is nothing about who is wrong or right, I leave this to the Color Polizei 🙂
I was just confused by the swap change between RLM82 and RLM83, i.e. mid-green and dark green, that happened in the reference literature a few years ago. After reading half a dozen of books I am left with a few hypothesis', conflicting evidence, and little proof.
Anyway, I think a Flugzeugwart in late 1944/early 1945 had more essential things to care about than applying 'correct' colors and patterns. 😉
So I go by gut feeling. My Bf109 is talking to me that grey-violet (75) looks much better with dark green (83) than mid-green (82). So I'll give 83 a go. 🙂

Holger and friends ...hi. A sincere question for anyone to answer, from the genuinely curious. Why do almost all manufacturers make the Me 109 and why does it sell in such vast numbers? I understand there are iterations of the aircraft from Spanish Civil War to the Avia(?) version post-war so lots of scope for the modeller. Is this why it's so popular?

Bill- Made me smile, that did. Cheers. Holger, yes, years ago. Blue-grey sides painted up to the canopy -probably 1940 era or summat. Interesting you mention colour police - a couple years ago, asserting VV-S colour X instead of Y would have angry crowds burning your dog and kicking your house -same issue for WW2 Luftwaffe then?

I think it's because Messerschmitt and One-O-Nine is easier to procounce in English than Focke-Wulf or Heinkel? And for the multitude of paint & marking schemes as compared to Mustangs (boring) Spitfires (boring), Thunderbolts (boring), Zekes (boring). Conversely, no NMF to put up with :-D

I've found a drawing of a Me 109 G-10 - 11./JG 7 - Berlin - April 45. The camo is described with RLM 76/83 on the upper sides(?) and underneath with RLM 78.
Number 44 (white) and a white spiral on the spinner...
Looks nearly like your "Gustav" -

Hi Holger,

If you like I would say something about your spray technique, the correct pressure and paint/thinner mixture. But only if you like! 🙂
I don`t wanna be the reviewer, only to give some hints!

Well, so I`ll start with some basics. 🙂
Large surfaces
1) Pressure adjusted between 0,8 to 1,0 bar!
2) Colour mixture: 1 part paint to 2 parts thinner
3) Hold pistol at angle of 45 ° in direction of the surface! Don`t spray again any obstacles like the fuselage. Otherwise you will cause a turbulence and you will receive an orange skin.
Little dots
1) If possible use a needle and nozzle of 0.25 mm size ( Standard is often 0.5mm)
2) pressure adjusted between 0.5 to 0.7 bar, not more. This will guaranteed that you can spray from short distance! I spray in this manner with a distance of only 1 cm!!
3) colour mixture: 1 part paint and !! 3 !! parts thinner
Try this and tell me your experiences!

Revell customer service will work with you to replace damaged or missing parts. I did a kit that did not include the figures and while it took them 6 months Revell did send them to me. It pisses me off that model manufacturers think they can get away with poor quality control because modelers view it as a challenge to make every kit work. You really did make it work and I applaud what you have done. I wish I could paint that well.

Revell's customer service is excellent. That is one reason I continue to build their kits. Plus the cost. I am building a 1/32 F4U-1 right now and with all the after market goodies, I still have less than 60.00 invested in it. And with a little work it will be a nice model. I like the Tamiya kits, but I can't afford 150.00-200.00 a kit. The most expensive one I have ever bought was my Italeri 1/32 104.
