Although I'm the one who started iModeler, little did I know [...]
This project started out as a Bf 109G-2 flown by Theodor Weissenberger of JG 5. The theory was that it was originally a Trop with a 78/79 factory finish that had 70/white applied over it. I applied the 78/79 finish but when I really [...]
I got this as a Secret Santa gift this year from a friend of mine in Oz. I keep doing these Luftwaffe planes, I guess its because of the different schemes available. I tend to go with the later variants like the Dora that I finished a few [...]

I've modelled it as Ulrich Steinhilper's machine at Calais in 1940 (see record photograph). The markings were [...]
This is the Hasegawa Bf 109G-10 backdated to be a G-6 A/S. I sanded the bulges under the exhaust stacks and rescribed the panel lines. The G-6 oil cooler, Fusion prop, and G-6 fixed tail wheel were added. Paint is a Tamiya mix of RLM [...]
I added a prop from fusion, wheels and exhausts from Ultracast, and resin elevators from my parts box, I have no idea who made them. The pilot figure is from PJ Productions and was extensively modified to fit that tiny cockpit. I primed [...]
