Very nice depiction of one of the famous JG.3 109 F-4, Emmanuel! What did you use to mask this lovely splinter scheme?
Emmanuel said on May 1, 2020
Hello Pedro
Thank you for your feedback. For masking the pattern, I used a lot of Tamiya tape 😉
No coffee, and meditation lol

Emmanuel - first, very well done! You ask for critisism / feedback, just a few really nerdy bits really; The shoulderstraps are fastened just behind the wall behind the seat - it is very common to place them too far back with the eduard PE belts. The F-4 did not have a frame in the middle of the hood - just two pieces of plastic overlapping, and the F-4 did have a slot in the top radiatorflap - but that is not included in any of eduards plastic-parts and has to be added (by PE usually).
When that is said, I really like you added the brakelines, and the choice of colors are just great - I love these "trop" 109's re-routed to the eastern front and getting additional field-applied camouflage. You really got that just right, so overall a really great 109 - thank you for sharing! (Please do not take the critisism for more than nerd-stuff - your model is fantastic) Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much Erik for your feedback.
Really appreciated
To be honest, I made several mistakes on this model. For example, there was F4Z/Trop as a basis, so, they had a bigger cooler underside, a larger intake carburetor and a different propeller.
Well, It will be for my next life 😉

Emmanuel, you really cannot have too many 109's, so just keep them comin'! And you are right - i missed the intake and propeller! Shame on me 🙂
(just added one of my F-4's - you see that I missed the extra opening in the radiatorflap, and have to make a new one some day)

Great build, and that scheme is fantastic! One of the most interesting looking 109's I've seen in a while.
