Post by **Paul** » Mon May 27, 2013 12:37 am

Painted using Vallejo model air and xtracrylix paints

Brilliant kit, easy to build and fits together lovely, the video of this build can be seen in my you utube section

Still getting used to my new dslr so Baer with my pictures until I get some better lighting.

Very nice. I like how you've not over done the weathering.

Cheers mate, I'm not a fan of heavily weathered aircraft I know sometimes not being weathered canals them look unrealistic but I like that lightly used look

Nice work Paul, nicely weathered without being overdone. Looks as good as one of Paul Verlindens.

Cracking job, Paul. Always liked the blue/splinter camo on these things.

Great looking model! It is always such a treat for the eye to see such a superbly made model. Gotta love the BF109

Post by **JayCub** » Tue Dec 10, 2013 6:18 pm

Awesome Messerschmidt! The weathering is very impressive - very realistic. I believe I'm currently working on the same kit. It comes with three variants, one is of the first one shot down by the Brits in 1940, and another is Molders' yellow nosed one. I'm making the latter. But the colours are hard to locate, so I substituted some. The green camo pattern on the fuselage is impossible to make w/o an airbrush, which is unfortunate as the Luftwaffe schemes look great.

fantastic job mate!well done..i bought yesterday the same kit but i am confused the colours...

the colours that you had used for emodels kit or for ISM???

Post by **Paul** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 5:36 pm

Yeah i used a mixture of xtracylix and vallejo model air on this one, and I've used mr hobby aqueous on the ism one. Just watch either video for the paint callouts they are all rlm colours

Post by **Paips** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 5:51 pm

Geez Paul that looks great

Post by **giannissma** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 6:33 pm

I think the xtracrylix are a better match but they are harder to spray than mr hobby.

Post by **giannissma** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 6:53 pm

Nice one! I folowed the build on youtube and I must tell you, that it helped me a lot with the returning to the building after 10 years!

Post by **Spook** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:29 pm

Just finished watching all 13 parts the 109 looks great. The step by step was fantastic and is really going to help me as a reference to get back into building.

Same model but different build fellas, I built this one for emodels early last year

Beautifull work on that ME 109 Paul!

Post by **DaMadModler** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 6:58 pm

Well Paul I figured I like the Me109's because of there camo schemes and here you have a more subdued scheme minus the mottling and it's still one of the best looking planes ever made. I must say Coen is right your paint skills are top notch.

Post by **MerseyTrainz** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 7:06 pm

A Great set of videos, very informative, especially for the beginner.

Thanks Paul.

Post by **johnpd** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 9:51 pm

Fantastic looking what is the best stuff for weathering?

Post by **Paul** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 10:03 pm

Ultimate washes for the panels lines stains etc and paint for gun and exhaust stains
