I did not have RLM78 in my collection of paints, but I think I came pretty close, but somehow my camera (phone) insists on making it look more blue than it is in real life.

November 4, 2020
RLM79 sprayed on the upper surfaces. I masked off for the parts that will be painted white.

This is how it looks after brush painting the squiggley lines part of the camo.
27
November 8, 2020
Compared to the camo in the instructions. I think it's good enough.

I'm also joining the group build with this 109G-2 in desert camo. I haven't figured out how to do the camo yet, but I have some time left to come up with a plan.😉

Daniel Klink
Cool choice! will follow this with interest mate👍happy you joined the GB

Erik Leijdens
Welcome and great start Björn!

25 October 2020, 09:17

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thank you mates! 🙂 And you are all welcome!
@Stefan, thanks that link could be helpful 👍, but right now I lean towards first sketching them lightly with a pencil and then brush painting on top.
It's been a while since I last built a 109, but I always am surprised by how small/compact they are compared to the competition.

25 October 2020, 11:30

Rui S
Exellent pit. Great work 👍

25 October 2020, 11:37

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thanks Rui! 🙂
I've been a busy bee the last couple of days and finished the whole body of the plane and masked the cockpit, so next step is doing all the pre-shading.

26 October 2020, 20:48

Jos Jansen
Nice progress Björn...and btw great choice to make the desert version...👍!

26 October 2020, 20:52

Eelco Gregoire
That pit looks great!

26 October 2020, 21:01

Sergej I
Love it! 👍

26 October 2020, 22:16

Christian Lehmann
Very nice!

28 October 2020, 19:46

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thank you mates! 🙂
Another update. I have finished the pre-shading. Next update willl hve to wait, as I'm waiting for the paint for the camo scheme to arrive.

29 October 2020, 17:13

Daniel Klink
Hi Björn, hat looks very pomising with the preshading..👍
But one note to the horizontal fusleage lines and shades. They weren't any with the original.
The 109 had a so called Shell-contruction of rolled metal sheet.
This pic shows a fresh outrolled 109

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thanks for the link and the extra information Daniel! 🙂
I was just following the riveting lines on the model with the pre-shading. But it will be easily fixed when applying the camo.

29 October 2020, 19:29

Björn Svedberg 著者
The base camo has been finished. Next will be some detail painting and decals, and after that, I will try to come up with a plan for the squiggly-lines.😉

4 November 2020, 11:01

Eelco Gregoire
Camo looks good Björn!

4 November 2020, 12:41

Nathan Dempsey
Looking very nice indeed 🙂

4 November 2020, 15:48

Patrick Hagelstein
Great build Björn! Really nice and subtle black basing there! 👍

4 November 2020, 15:55

Erik Leijdens
O wow that camouflage turned out fantastic Björn !

4 November 2020, 16:14

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thank you Eelco, Nathan, Patrick and Erik! 🙂
I have applied the decals, and the plan now is to put a protective layer of lacquer clear coat before adding the squiggley lines. By doing so, I can always "erase" any mistakes with a bit of X-20A if I have to.

5 November 2020, 13:50

Björn Svedberg 著者
The current state of affairs. I've added a black oil wash and matt coated the plane. Now it will have to sit and wait for a while.😉

6 November 2020, 19:57

Stefan Schacht
very nice so far👍 I am courios for the next step

6 November 2020, 20:23

Erik Leijdens
Coming alive now Björn

6 November 2020, 21:11

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thanks Stefan and Erik! 🙂
It might not have been the best decision to unmask the canopy as I have more work to do on the camo, but I just had to.😉 It really makes it come alive, as you say Erik.

7 November 2020, 08:36

Jos Jansen
Really a beauty...the variety of individual desert color tones is very subtle...so far well done Björn!

7 November 2020, 11:51

Daniel Klink
That looks absolute fine Björn 👍

7 November 2020, 12:13

Sven Schönyan
The next eyecatcher from Björn. Nicely done!

Eelco Gregoire
Looks good! But don't forget the filter.

8 November 2020, 17:53

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thanks guys, but it's not finished yet, so I still have a chance to mess it up.😉
I added some pictures to show the progress with the squiggly lines for the camo. I made a test piece of a spare wing and tested to do it with the airbrush at low pressure, but my hand is just not steady enough to follow a curvy line, so I resorted to the old brush painting. I'm happy enough with the test piece to go on with that solution. I really liked the result before the squiggleys, so we will see how it goes.., I just may mess it all up..
@Eelco I'm using it on the air compressor right now, but I will be sure to put it back on the plane before finishing up.😉

8 November 2020, 22:30

Nathan Dempsey
Looks like a good solution Björn. I like the look of that test wing.

8 November 2020, 23:29

Gerald
👍

9 November 2020, 08:33

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thank you Nathan and Gerald! 🙂
I now consider this as finished. I will probably add some desert pigments later on, but I'm happy with how the plane looks in its current state.
Next, I will start work on the Kübelwagen.

11 November 2020, 10:24

Christian Lehmann
Very convincing result! 👍

11 November 2020, 11:41

Stefan Schacht

11 November 2020, 11:56

Eelco Gregoire
You've nailed it!

11 November 2020, 12:50

Daniel Klink
Very well done camp Björn!
As said it is on spot congrats mate👍

11 November 2020, 17:49

Björn Svedberg 著者
Thank you my friends for all your nice comments! 🙂
It was a great initiative by @Jos Jansen to start this group build! 👍
Otherwise this kit would probably have stayed in the stash for a while😉, but it was a really nice experience to build another Eduard kit.

11 November 2020, 18:39

Nathan Dempsey
Wow! Such a great finish!

11 November 2020, 18:57
