1/48 Hasegawa Bf 109G-6/AS
This is the Hasegawa Bf 109G-10 backdated to be a G-6 A/S. I sanded the bulges under the exhaust stacks and rescribed the panel lines. The G-6 oil cooler, Fusion prop, and G-6 fixed tail wheel were added. Paint is a Tamiya mix of RLM 76. I treally like Tamiya paint. The figure I have had for years and I can’t remember who made it but the resin molding was really good. The ground work is Sculptamold. It worked much better than Celluclay. Faster drying time and no shrinkage. This aircraft was flown by Horst Petzschler of 2/Jg 3.

John,
Very,very, nice. It,
It’s obvious you are a 109 fan. I like what you do with them and love the varrived schemes you put on them. Great job.
John Clark said on November 28, 2013
Thank you Frank. Lots of very fun schemes to do with 109’s but I am about ready for something else. I have decided not to buy any more kits until I build down my stash…unless something really cool is released. I have one more 109 in the build process then it’s time for something else. But I will always come back to the 109’s.

Yeah, good luck with the not buying anymore new kits…unless something cool comes out! Ha Ha, I tell my self that every year and yet my stash continues to grow…great self control to you! : )

Great build too!
John Clark said on December 2, 2013
Yep, I see my willpower crumbling.

Nice clean build. Do you use ink to bring out the panel lines on your plane? They are very pronounced and look great….
John Clark said on November 28, 2013
Thank you Mike. I use a water based acrylic wash in my panel lines. I mix it up and add a drop of dish washing detergent and apply with a pointed brush. I do this over a coat of Future. When it dries I wipe it off in the direction of the air flow the seal it with another coat of future. The color is burnt umber mixed with black. The paint Is Windsor and Newton acrylic in a tube.
