Revell Messerschmitt Bf109 G10. A small and quite old kit (1979) to experiment on some painting techniques.. Not much detail but fun to build. Totally OOB build. Comments and remarks are always welcome.

One of the most enjoyable video's I've seen on KZfaq, fantastic build and the background music is superb too. I have that kits in my small statch, I hope I can do it the same attention to detail you have. Thanks for sharing.

I built this kit 25 plus years ago, and despite the few parts, I liked it a lot. Almost no filler required and stunning fit of parts. I always thought that the kit was more designed as an "Inflight" model, rather than as a ground display. It was so unlike the Monogram/Revell kits at that time (m early to mid 90s) that rumor had it that it was actually molded in Japan to a Revell contract... by Tamiya. And that is not unbelievable, considering the fit of the parts. The original was a Monogram release , then Revell/Monogram and now Revell (Germany). I built the Monogram release. You have done an excellent job on that kit, despite putting faith in the cockpit paint directions (German fighter cockpits were ALL dark grey (RLM 66), including sidewalls, after 1941, not the lighter RLM02 primer color)

Thank you for your comment. Truth be told, I came back to the hobby in late 2019, after a 30 year hiatus... and I''m not exactly a history buff.. so I follow the instructions most of the time. Apparently these were wrong on this case concerning the interior paint color but I will keep in mind this valuable tip for future builds (I have an Eduard 109 1:32 in my stash and a 190 also, which will be built in the immediate future).

Wow, you make consistently great models. I've just got the masking fluid myself so I'm looking forward to trying this on canopies instead of tape. Great work

@wbpsmodels3452 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. However, don't be too hasty to get rid of the tape... Sometimes it gives better and cleaner results.. I hadn't had any REALLY sharp blade to cut the tape like I saw others do. But I got myself a couple of disposable surgical scalpels from the pharmacy (drugstore / apothecary / medical supplies, whatever it's called in your area) and I'll give it another try with them. I guess the best solution would be a combination of both.

I use white glue. I mask of the parts I dont want to get paint one with it. Peels off when dry

@SimbianMinistry 2 жыл бұрын

@@wbpsmodels3452 Yes, I like to mask the edges with tape, then if i doesn't fill the whole pane of glass/perspex I fill the remainder with a masking solution. Curved edges I press a cocktail stick/wooden toothpick along the edge to make an indent I can follow with the knife. If any paint bleeds under the tape.... the cocktail stick is also handy to scrape away the offending paint bleed along the edge of the canopy frames - Wait until paint is FULLY dry and cured tho... then it comes right off and doesn't smear.

At the time of its' appearence in the fall of 1978 it was regarded as a very good model. Certainly it is a much quicker build than the more state of the art kits.

@DasVadderr Жыл бұрын

I recently returned to the scale modelling hobby and this one was my first kit in years. I think it´s really great for people like me. Better than the 1/72 toys from Revell but not too complicated. It was really a lot of fun and your video showed me how much you can get out of even this old kit. But I have to say: Molding the copyright stuff right on to a very visible, kinda large surface is not the best design choice by Revell.

I have a question about the Bf 109, from Revell scale 1:72. Do the landing gear close when the aircraft is in the air ?

@wbpsmodels3452 2 жыл бұрын

Not so sure about it... the Revell site mentions : Landing gear in 2 optional positions. However, when I checked the instructions, they show the LG in the standing position.. I guess you could forgo the strut and cement the lg flap right on the undercarriage hole. (min was the 1:48)

As I recall.. the whole strut / wheel / cover assembly goes straight in a square hole. If it doesn't fit, use your scalpel to either widen the hole or reduce the width of the upper strut part (the square one)

What paint should we use?

@wbpsmodels3452 3 жыл бұрын

The choice of paint is subjective, depending on personal tastes, equipment and needs... I used to use enamels.. then I switched to acrylics (namely Vallejo).. Nowadays I am considering to use both.. like enamel primers and acrylic colors... Others swear by laquers, but I haven't used them yet so I cannot express an opinion... You should experiment yourself and choose whatever suits you best.
