Thanks Again, iModeler!

July 15, 2015 · in Aviation · · 21 · 1.9K

Hello! Last year I won the random drawing for May, and the new tooling BF-109e-4 by was my prize. I didn't just want to take a prize and have it sit in my stash because that would seem a bit ungrateful, so as soon as I could, I got started on it and chipped away at it, little by little. End result is as posted. It was a fun kit to build, and a fun kit to paint with my new SOTAR 20/20. I could still use a bit more practice with it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here it is displayed on a base made by my 9 year old son (who also has a passion for this hobby!)

Thanks again iModeler!

Cheers!

-Ramon

  1. Beautifully finished and photographed, Ramon (I especially like the belly shot - exquisite detailing work) - and kudos to your son on that base...nice job. I see you used EZ-line for the antenna wire [ works pretty good, don't it ] πŸ™‚

  2. Excellent Emil. Well done!

  3. Very cool indeed to see this built, and you've done a commendable job especially with such a complex camouflage scheme!

  4. very nice work - great finish and tone on the camo

  5. Nice work there Ramon, your son has got some talent there too, nice base.
    Well done mate.

    • Thanks Simon! My son LOVES building models and dioramas, and he scratchbuilds way more than i ever had the nerve or ambition to, even now! I am vert proud of my boy πŸ™‚

  6. Good job all round there, Ramon, it's nice to see a prize being built and displayed in such a great way.

  7. Nicely done, Ramon. I don't recognise the markings per se, but it looks like it ticks all the '109 boxes'.

  8. Excellent work Ramon, really convincing build and finish. I like the overall tone you've achieved, looks very much 'to scale'.

  9. very well done

  10. Beautiful 109! Great job on the finishing and weathering.
