Following! ...
PS I usually build the aircrafts that fought against this, that surrendered in Falconara.

Patrick Hagelstein
Hi Roland and Moreno! Glad to have you on board!
True, Roland, apart from the bland cockpits, I'm actually amazed about how easy these kits build and how nice the panel lines are.
Moreno, I typically build more Allied or modern stuff, but am quite interested in the plethora of colors and markings that were around in the desperate end of World War II. This is part of a group build where our club bought a couple of these Easy Assembly Bf109s, so a 109 it is! 😉

That's interesting. Follow you!

Patrick Hagelstein
Welcome aboard! ☺️

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Villiers! I need to hurry up now. The group build deadline is end of this month.

Gary Kitchen
Great stuff Patrick.
Love seeing aircraft badged up outside of their usual markings. Captured or rebadged allies, it's all interesting. I did a Hobby Boss Mustang kit and have to agree that even though meant as beginners (probably) they are great for getting to the painting and are well detailed externally.

Erik Leijdens
Great work so far Patrick! The BF-109 looks nice with the Croatian "balkenkreuz".

Patrick Hagelstein
Hey Gary, welcome! I agree, I'd rather work on a 'weird' color scheme as it is that more 'exotic'. And yes, those easy assembly kits are great as an external paint canvas.
Thank you Erik! Even though the Croatian 'Balkenkreuz' is highly visible, the German one is only sloppily painted over: double combo then! 😉

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Marius! 👍

Alec K
Nice work Patrick. Following 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Alec and welcome! 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Really a nice work! Well done 👍
For the last pic: maybe you can recover the marking painting with a fine brush

Patrick Hagelstein
😄 Thank you for your concerns, Moreno. 🙂 But if you look at pictures 7 and 9 you'll see that the actual aircraft had damaged markings as well. That's what I tried to recreate. But it's harder to create damage than building something that's intact. On the other hand, it's quite easy to destroy something unwanted. 😉

Moreno Baruffini
Yes, I understand, I was suggesting to 'create the damage" painting with a fine brush around and on the unwanted destroyed part. 🙂

BTW You made me want to start another plane that was around in the desperate end of World War II 🙂

Patrick Hagelstein
🫣 I gotcha Moreno. 👍🏼 I wasn't into German aircraft that much until I found out the plethora of colors and options and grafted together aircraft from that timeframe. After this one, I got another colorful one-o-nine planned. ☺️

Moreno Baruffini
Getting better and better after every step!

Jennifer Franklin
Very nice!

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Jennifer and Moreno! I'm surprised myself about what can be done with these simple kits.

Gary Kitchen
Great finish Patrick 👍

Bas Tonn
Interesting subject, good choice

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks CaptGPF, Gary and Bas!

Trez Mackenzie
The 2 kits are about as far apart as you can get. Great job!

Patrick Hagelstein
Hi Trez, that's why I want to have another go at this plane when the Eduard kit comes out and set them side by side. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Easy Assembly kit but want to do the markings justice with an extraordinary kit.

Łukasz Gliński
Dunno how I managed to miss this.
Great work already on this prequel of my fav one&only 109 👍 That HB kit looks surprisingly good, except for the canopy fit.
Looking forward to seeing the Ed's edition

Patrick Hagelstein
Hi Łukasz! Thanks for the compliment! The HB kit is a nice in between project to cleanse the palate. It fits surprisingly well for what it is; a simple click together kit. But it's no match for what Eduard delivers. So, I'm too, quite curious of what can be done to Eduard's offering. Looking forward to it! ☺️

Mr James
Great camo painting, great weathering. Great build
