Barkhorn Bf109G-6
Nice cockpit - needs work to set it in correctly. I cut away the plastic guides to make job a little easier
Flaps cut and positioned - you can see one of the solid wing tip lights cut out
Going ‘free hand’ at this scale is not an issue - I mean you only need a suggestive interpretation
Wing tip lights in
Free hand masking - listen to an audio book or some chill music and take time!
Pilot tube should be replaced - I didn’t bother, maybe next time. But any case drill cavity for it because there is nothing
Mottles for me at this scale are tricky. Need more practice.
The underside is ok although you don’t really see it - typical!
Canopy comes as one piece - sawn into 3 parts
Test fitting - more later
Galland Panzer glass needed a little work
The inspiration. The placard says “Congratulations on your 250th aerial victory”
Getting there
Aircraft will need to be weathered. Figures detail painted and that should more or less be it

Trez MackenzieThis kit is also the 'Special Hobby' kit - only without the 'Special' which includes PE, canopy sheet, and resin wheels. At this scale I don't think it makes much difference.
£20 for the former and the same for 3 kits without decals and other bells and whistles.
A nifty thing is AZ tells you in the instructions what sources they used to design the kits
