In this video, we'll learn how to build, paint & weather up scale model aircraft engines - particularly the Daimler Benz DB 605 used in G & K model Bf-109s. Today I'm working on the new Border Model Bf-109G-6 in 1/35 scale.

I love your videos...very informative. I have been doing military models for over 35 yrs...Now i got my nephew into them, and he learns a lot from your videos..he says it you explain it so a beginner understands. I too have learned some easier ways to do things...keep up the great work.

Incredible results. Looks just like the real 1:1 engine. I shall try your techniques on my Eduard 109 E7. I appreciate all your great tutorials, which is why I am a loyal subscriber.

Very nice video! I particularly appreciated seeing how you approached the exhausts. Very simple, yet effective, technique for this application. Will definitely be coming back to this video for a refresher when I get to exhausts. 🙂🍻

wow wow wow- awesome build up! I'll keep this in mind the next time I build up the Tamiya 1/48 scale ME-109 G3. The engine could almost be a display model in and of itself!

If the model allows for it, I'll sometimes replace tubes and wires with metal (brass rods, fuse wire, and for wiring harnesses I'll use thin gauge wire). It really brings things to life. Otherwise I use similar techniques to you. A great demonstration, and amazing work!

I've never tried the " Black primer" technique before, it really brings out the details, anxious to try it.

Very nice built. The tanks on the sides are part the coolant system. The oil tank is in the front of the engine, behind the prop.

That's awesome! Nice work. I had no idea this was 1/35 scale. Could make for waay more diorama opportunities for anyone interested in going that route. Very nice tutorial! This is much fancier than my usual tutorial script of "Yeah put this bendy part 37 and angular part 38 into this big blocky part 14 while avoiding gluing your fingers together as best you can and then paint it all a kind of greenish color with a blue tint". I think I am now basically a certified 109 mechanic! 😂 But to answer your question I don't think that's an oil reserve or part of the cooling system. Pretty sure it's the onboard keg distribution system for the pilot's brews. 🤙🏻🍻

Haha oh man - you're right! I didn't think of that, definitely a keg 😅🍻

That looks awesome Hank!! I am now wanting to look at getting one of these kits just for the engine, I love the way you did the exhaust, I’ve been needing a good technique for them for a while, did you put the pigment on while the wash was still wet at first? Also what PSI are you spraying the Vallejo primer at and how much do you thin it?

@SpruesNBrews 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes to the pigment question, the wash was still wet. And I usually airbrush around 22psi, no thinning with the primer 👍

can you do tank engines? I never know what colors to use

@kevin.reible 2 жыл бұрын

Hank, one question: How do you clean your brushes?

@SpruesNBrews 2 жыл бұрын

Sure! I just run my brushes under some water & give them a gentle wipe with some paper towels. For my airbrush, I run a few rounds of thinner through it after each color of paint as well as at the beginning and end of my work session 👍

@rickgregory9616 Жыл бұрын

Excellent tutorial. 👍 Why spray the hairspray through the airbrush? Why not straight from the can? I've book marked this for future reference. Your paint color identifications are a little out of sync.
