Tamiya - Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3

Really nice looking box! 

Sprues washed and drying. 

Prepared some pieces with Vallejo Surface Primer Grey 70601. 

Primer added to the fuselage interior.
Equal parts XF-22 and XF-49 painted on the other parts.  

Cockpit done!
Will add some Tamiya Panel Line later I think.  

 

Starting to look like an airplane.
Sprayed with primer, ready for pre shading.  

 

I still need to work on my precision with the airbrush, think it turned out alright anyways.  

 

First paint color added, think the pre shading turned out pretty good! 🙂 

Right about here I realized I had painted the wrong colors.
The underside and half the sides are supposed to be sky blue. 

Paint stripped, let's go again!  

DIY seat belts, brake fluid destroyed the decal. 

Painted, correct colors this time!
Pretty happy with it so far.  

Decals and Tamiya Panel Line added! 

 

 

Finished!
The only thing I had real problems with was the masking of the cockpit, didn't turn out great.

My fourth kit and my best work so far, already looking forward to the next kit!
