1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4
Picked this up at the local toyshop. One half of the Airfix Dogfight Doubles (the other being the Spitfire Mk I that I am currently working on). Pretty fun kit. Only a couple of small crises during the build - temporarily lost a tail-plane strut and I used general purpose masking tape when I did the top of the fuselage and it left a sticky residual (which luckily came off with eucalyptus oil and didn't damage the paint job).
I had never tried to do a mottling effect before. I used a small chunk of sponge to apply and I think it came out reasonably well.
Paints were all Humbrol enamel and brush applied.
A yellow-nosed 109 is a vital part of any collection!
Great looking 109! Welcome aboard!
Great-looking 109 and nice job on the paint work; welcome!
Nice build, specialy since it is 1/72.
Great paint job.
Those yellow-noses are my favorites.
A nice build of a nice plane, Emberson! Great results with the brush and your sponge technique.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for the kind comments. I am happy to have joined such an excellent modelling community!
Interestingly enough, the mottle on the 1:1 original was most likely applied with sponges too!
Nice work on this.
Hard to see in the low light, but from what I can make out it looks great! The mottling came out nice.
Looks good Emberson, welcome to iModeler.
That us a very nice job there Emberson 😎😎
