Default Custom 1/18 BF109G2/trop III/JG77 Tunisia

Here's some finished pics of this repainted BBI 1/18 BF109. It's almost finished. I say almost, because I just noticed I forgot the red dash marks, on the inboard part of the wing.

The customer wanted it to look like this:


I matched the colors exactly and weathered it.
The photos are a little bit dark. :wink:
The outdoor shot at the bottom shows how it looks in person.

I didn't use any decals for this plane. I will give a tutorial on how I painted the balkenkruez - it's very easy and relatively fast.

Did your client have photographic proof of the scheme or was he following the profile in the Breffort & Joineau Histoire & Collections Me (sic) 109 Vol II on page 40 ?

He actually found a model wearing this scheme. I have seen similar schemes before, just not evidence on this particular plane.

Could you post a pic maybe of that page?
