Today we're building the new dual boxing of Tamiya's awesome BF-109. I had to overcome a few challenges and figure out how to do the weathering, but I hope you enjoy the result- I definitely did.

Amazing detailing😊

I'm colourblind so yellow is my favourite colour. I think that adding the copper has given it a green tint. Other than that it looks great. 😊❤😊

Really nice video, after watching your video I felt like making my Tamiya BF-109 🙂. Thanks for the great advice in the video. Peace from Sydney Australia.

I just bought an older Tamiya version of the BF-109. Thank you for a very useful video!

I built this kit a few years ago when it first came out. After watching your video, I plan on building it again using your techniques. Nicely done!

Nice video...without too many frills, just how I like them...and excellent result! I also have a Hasegawa Bf 109 G6 which I will start soon. I intend to further detail the model with riveting and photo-etching... it's the first time 🤞🏻. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of your videos.

Really nice build and weathering, but what happened to the landing gear?.....it is normally painted in RLM 02 inside 😅

This was a nice chilled video with great results. I always gloss before and after decals, if I don’t it usually goes wrong!

I just started the Tamiya Bf-109 G-6, so your video is a big help. I wondered about the Yellow/Copper mix and will avoid that suggestion..

I totally see post shading being the better approach for this type of cammo. I think you did well adding a bit heavier wash and blending at the end.

Nice video. Great build. That kit looks good. I have a Revell of that aircraft. Looking forward to doing it with the technique You showed. Thank You for sharing.

I'd definitely agree. I'll even paint my model in a midnight black. Followed by some red and yellow similar to Germany's flag. Or I can keep it into WWII colors. If I'm lucky turn the basement into a battle of Brittain inspired museum. If lucky, sell some model kits.

OH, where's the landing gear going in? I'm always curious about how 109's gear are engineered. I see that they are not like Tamiya's Spitfire that are so nice...I was hoping their 109's would be the same. The finished product is great!

I definitely think a gloss coat is super necessary for decals imho. I've had only bad experiences with decaling before gloss varnishing.

Honestly, this is probably the best decal result I’ve ever had, even with the Tamiya decals.

CJ, what’s that sheet with the weird camo you used for primer coat.

@kudukilla 10 ай бұрын

I always gloss before decals. Had a bad reaction of decal solution with paint one time. Taking no chances on that happening again.

@user-cm6hj3uc9s 10 ай бұрын

great job ! But no riveting ?

@danwilliams1686 10 ай бұрын

Excellent. My understanding is that German aircraft during ww2 were semi gloss painted. So, if it shines a little it should be ok.

@cj_modeller 10 ай бұрын

Thank you very much for the kind words, and that’s good to know- I’m new to all things German aircraft.

They were painted matt but got wax polished, hence the silky finish...

Everything beautifu except from one minor detail.... You forgot or like many others ..just didn´t seem to care about putting in a seatbelt. That would have made the model more complete. Just saying. Other then that. Excellent work.
