Bf 109G-10 Mtt Regensburg (WIP)

10:00 AM: Starting the 24hour marathon 

Starting with the wings to try to solidify the gear as early as possible 

Closing the wings 

The cockpit with the PE 

Side walls painted and with PE 

Progress 

Wings ready with the landing gear glued - the gear fit is, as usual, terrible 

Cockpit and fuselage ready to close 

All parts so far 

Closing the kit 

Moving forward with the assembly 

Starting the paint with the bottom, using AK Xtreme Aluminium  

Marathon during the night 

RLM colors using Hataka paints 

Bottom painted with Hataka RLM76 

Well, that’s a surprise: I used the panel lines as guides incorrectly, the proportions are wrong; repaint to be done 

Correcting the checker bands 

Progress so far; used Gunze RLM23 (H414) for the red color 

That’s a wrap; after 22,5 hours, at 08:30 AM, it is obvious I’ll not finish the kit 

The build so far, to be continued at home 

Back at home; all decals applied, wheels painted and plane varnished with the faithful Tamiya X-22, ready for pin washes; an additional 2 hours spent 

Chipping done and more X-22 varnish; now, for those washes… 

Oils applied (Abteilung 502 grey for drybrush on the cockpit and Oilbrushers A.MIG 3508, 3512 and 3532 for mud and filth); Tamiya X-19 Smoke and MRP-180 Exhaust Soot also applied 

Finished, around 27hours later, instead of my objective of 24hours... maybe next time! 🙂 Final photos here: Bf 109G-10 Mtt Regensburg | Album by RReis (1:48)
