Bf-109T-1

Airfix cabin fitted nicely to MPM fuselage. Used also metallic parts from MPM kit to get more details to cabin. 

Wings and fuselage from MPM kit, and needed lot cutting and sanding to fit together.  

Oil cooler in front is what it is, but trying to cut it were too risky, so I left that in peace. 

Tail parts from Airfix and rudder from MPM kit. 

 

 

Main colors were sprayed with Vallejo Model Air colors. Smaller parts and details were done with brush and Humbrol and Revell enamels. 

Because of kit-bashing, I did also bit testing with colors. I tested how Luftwaffe naval colors would look on plane intended for aircraft carrier. So tested fighter camo-pattern and RLM72/73/65. 

After painting I would say that Luftwaffe did good job selecting colors. Depending lights, angle and viewpoint, plane looks either one colored, light or dark. What I would change next time, is maybe using RLM72/73 other way round in camo pattern.
