Airfix Bf-109E3 1/72 duo 6./JG26 Schlageter

October 7, 2017 · in Aviation · · 21 · 2.3K

Hello, today I would like to show you a few pictures of a "ordinary" day at the JG 26 luftwaffe squadron in 1940. The planes are the brown 5 and the brown 6, both Airfix kits in 1/72. The figures are from Zvezda and Preiser. I Was inspired by the book from Krzysztof Janowicz "JG 26 Schlageter Vol. 1
The brown numbers are selfmade with masks and airbrush (HS Evolution), some photoetched parts are also used.

Kindest regards
