Bf-109 E-4 Trop and Kubelwagen diorama
My Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109 E-4 Trop and Kubelwagen diorama, finished last Dec 2023, has been waiting for some photos. Here, at last!
Insignias and national marks were masked and painted. A lot of work but I thinks it worth it (see notes on photos).
Hope you like.
Happy modelling!

Holy cow, that paint job is outstanding. Well done, Manuel! Love the diorama, too.
Thank you @hugemm ! the kit is a gem and I've tried my best. I'm really happy with it. Stay tuned, more Bf/Me on the way 😉
Wonderful overall result. The painted markings are beautifully executed.
Thank you! I think it paid off to paint the markings
Superb finishes on this! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 👍
That is a real stand-out! Love the paintwork and weathering. Well done.
Thanks Greg, much appreciated 👍
That's a fantastic job you did on this build, Manuel @magrus
Both, Emil and Kubelwagen do looks superb.
I did build this same kit but you clearly show that you can get much more out of it.
May I ask how you applied the greenish dots?
Thanks @johnb!
I started applying the dots with a mask but it was much tricky so ended up painting them freehand. So, they are a mix of both techniques
Nice rendition of Black 8. How did you make the insulators? Reminds me of my build of HJM's F-4 and Kubelwagon.

Thank you 👍
Nice work on yours too!
The insulators are white glue that I shape before completely dry 😁
Beautifuly done, Manuel. This has always been one of my favorite "E" model paint schemes. This is a real inspiration foe me to build the "E" .model I have and really just to get back to fi fishing the 109 I have 3/4 finished. Awesome work!
Thank you 👍
totally agree, this is the one of the most handsome schemes for the Emily.
Go ahead with yours!
Sharp work, Manuel.
Many thanks 😊
Fantastic result, Manuel!
Congratulations!
Thks Spiros, much appreciated
Looks fantastic Manuel. Excellent work.
Thank you Ben! tried my best 😀
Beautiful 109, Manuel! 🤩 Great work all around, and I really like your desert background photo. 👍 That is very cool! 😎
Many thanks 😊
Great modelling Manuel. Think your pop up guides to what you have done is a great way of making us aware of that little extra hard work that goes into your models. 👍
thanks @thom ! I like the pop-ups feature and, in this case, thought they may apply. There were other add-ons, specialy in the cockpit, but didn't want to bother our readers :-D.
This is a 10 out of 10. Exceptional result. You are a painter my friend.
