Only just started, painted the internal fuselage and cockpit RLM 02 (Vallejo Model Air) and then added some details to cockpit and inner fuselage. 🙂

Many thanks Roland & Mark 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Nice progress! I usually add the undercarriage as the last step to reduce possible damages 😉

Guy Rump
Many thanks Moreno, I agree with you but have recently tried this so that I can airbrush the varnish on both sides and avoid any marks on the underside of the wings while drying. 👍

Guy Rump
The cockpit was quite difficult as the fit wasn't the best. I now though declare this model completed. 👍

Hauptmann Karl-Heinz Krahl (25 September 1914 – 14 April 1942) was a Luftwaffe ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. On 14 April 1942, he was shot down and killed in action in his Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 (Werknummber 8784—factory number) by anti-aircraft artillery near Luqa, Malta. During his career he is credited with between 19 - 24 aerial victories, all against Western forces.
Krahl was appointed Gruppenkommandeur (group commander) of II. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 3 "Udet" (JG 3—3rd Fighter Wing) on 21 November 1941.

Great job!!! Well done!!! I really like the overall finish and the perfect antenna wire!
Maybe I will add only a bit of weathering on the insignia...
