In this video I assembly Eduard's Bf 109G-6 Weekend Edition kit and really focus on how I airbrush the splotches.

Great job on the paint job! You are correct that our brains struggle to create truly random patterns and we need to focus to make sure we aren't making an unintentional design. But since all WWII camo paint jobs were also hand applied it is entirely possible that the original painter inadvertently created their own patterns.

If you want your yellow to cover better, put a pink undercoat down first. Works in the car paintwork world really well.

I've always found that when I have partially completed one side of the mottle, I start the other side but with a mirror on the started side, so as to get a similar amount of mottle applied on both sides.

Quite nice mottling you made out of it, good description of your process 👍 It's a pity that Eduard does not show in instructions places that should be filled or corrected, like those engine cover parts or infamous "Eduards's V", rookie-trap V-shaped line on lower centroplane. I also think that decals on outer flaps should be placed inside (RLM02 covered part) of flap; next time also don't forget to add braking hoses on landing gear 😉 Last thing to add - I would not choose this color combination (I fell in love with MRP colors since last year); but as mentioned, at the end also the color mix does not look bad at all. Very nice model and fine build, thanks for sharing 👏

Unfortunately I didn’t realize the flap position indicator position was wrong until the very end. I followed the stencil instructions :S

I think you have done quite well. I've been practising with getting tight freehand soft edge camo on a test mule between projects recently and even though it's a test mule I found myself getting shirty when I stuffed it up 😂 Love your work!
@TheModelGuy
@TheModelGuy Жыл бұрын
As weird as it sounds, the stuffing it up is going to teach you more than if it is working 100%. You really learn what affects what when it comes to pressure, distance and thinning

Looks great, though none of it was field applied, it's a standard Erla G-6 scheme and was all factory applied. Imo the erla scheme is the most interesting of the 109 factory schemes.

That’s weird because when I looked at several reference photos none of them matched. I assumed the mottling was done at the unit level.

What, exactly, was the problem with the 109's undercarriage? I noticed on my 1/72 that the angle of the struts and the wheels themselves are splayed out. Was it (what we skateboarders would call) the wobbles?

Because of the angle of the landing gear legs they were prone to collapsing under very little loads

Great work once again! When you processed the cowling with spruce-glue came to me a thought. Couldn't you inlay the part directly with a small amount of spruce-glue to avoid seamlines? Have you tried this before, or heard of anyone trying it? Just out of interest...
@TheModelGuy

I haven’t heard anyone trying that. It takes a full 24 hours for it to cure so I think it would slow down the building process too much.
