1/32 Promodeler BF-109G4

   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.
