This is
the third model I have completed, a Promodeler BF-109G4. I used the Master
Class Model Building Video #1 to help with the assembly. Thankfully
Hasegawa got this one right because there are very few trouble spots with this
kit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Painting was done with Gunze
Laquers in the RLM range, shot through my Tamiya HG Airbrush. The
paints look great when sprayed correctly but trying to find the right ratio of
paint to thinner can be a bit difficult. After the camouflage was
sprayed I used Montex Masks to paint on the national insignians. As I had
never used them before and there were no instructions with the masks, it was
some what complicated. Thankfully a search on the Internet yielded some
articles on effectively applying them although I did mess up once or twice.
I would not hesitate to use them again though since they really look the part.
Special Thanks goes
out to g0_commando for finding this OOP kit for me, also to Koen_L for all the
assistance he gave me throughout the build. Until next time.
