1/72 Academy Bf 109 G-14 (Erich Hartmann) Winter Scheme
No wind in the Valley, so it's picture takin' time !. I actually finished this little gem in June, and then waited for that perfect blanket of white to photograph it. The platform is from the J2F session, enhanced with the real stuff.
This was an OOB build using Tamiya paint, with light weathering.
Very nice! Love that scheme - I need to do a winter camo on a German bird.
Go for it Greg ! And thanks !
It looks much bigger than 1/72 scale, those pictures are great.
Thanks George ! It's a good camera.
Cool model Phil, well done.
Thanks Allan ! And cool it was: -9 C, but completely windless. The snow is a foot or so deep, with more on the way Monday.
Don't see many 'winter shemes' - in anything, really - I like it. Nice job!
Thanks Craig ! I only have one other model in "winter" finish, an old Heller I 153, built 20 years ago and never photographed. I may pull it out.
Phil, that worked out beautifully! Nothing like a winter scheme on the lean and deadly Messerschmidt.
Thanks Bernard ! I'm happy with the results of the build and photos.
I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to start those engines in freezing temperatures. Tuff Lads.
Looks great Phil. Nothing more realistic for snow than the real stuff ! Nice touch. The trees in the background help to make the setting look very realistic. Looks like they just uncovered it getting ready for another sortie. "Bubi" would be proud...
Thanks Louis ! Making some 1/72 foot prints around the plane would've looked good---oh oh---I'm thinking of something.
Looks beautiful in the white camo.!
Thanks Robert ! Glad you like it.
๐ ... Greetings ... ๐ :
I am with Louis here ... this is one that will have made " BUBI " very proud.
Nicely done.
Thanks D ! It's a snow day here, 1 foot so far with gale force wind----ahh---the east coast !
Very nice build! It's in my stash too. You surely motivated me to dig it up Phil! Michel.
Thanks Michel ! Good luck on the build.
The funny thing about it is... that it just looks... ELEGANT! Nice looking bird!
Thanks Roberto ! Glad you like it.
Beautiful!
Gracious amigo !
