Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-2
This aircraft was piloted by Uffz. Peter Bremer of 2./JG54, Autumn 1941. The standard 74/75 upper camouflage was modified by an application of 70/02/79 over the original paint to improve its camouflage for Autumn. I did the same painting sequence to replicate on the model what was done to the original plane. The overspray on some of the national markings is intentional as photos of the aircraft show this to be so. This is a Royal Class version so it’s pretty much OOB. I only added knobs to the sliding panels and a spring and wire to the canopy hood, brake lines to the landing gear legs and stretched sprue aerial wiring.

This is a great -109, especially with this well-done, unusual paint scheme. Awesome!

Good-lookin’ build right there, Dale…nice job on that stretched sprue as well (that ain’t always easy).

Very visually striking Bf 109 Dale . Nicely applied weathering and the paint scheme really make this one jump out, good modeling … thank you for sharing this one.
