Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The Bf109g series was the most produced variant of the Bf109 fighter. It has been a popular subject in scale modeling. Scalemates lists 256 kits--126 in 1:72 scale--starting with a 1959 Airfix kit. I thought it would be interesting do a [...]
This post will be quick and dirty, just like this build. The kit itself is very simple, as is the airframe. It does have a nice petite coke-bottle shape that most can appreciate, and the model itself scream petite when you pick it up. It [...]
