  Belarus Independence Day 2005 

 

Well, here's my Italeri 1/72 Bf-109G-6 with Erich Hartmann markings.
There is no sense to list all the shortcomings of this model from Italeri/Zvezda as it has been written about many times before.  No aftermarket items were used.

The model is made practically out of the box.  I scratchbuilt a new cockpit.  The seatbelts were made from Tamiya masking tape.  I completed the wheel well walls with sheet styrene and added hydraulic brake lines to the main landing gear.  The self-made fine details of the plane are added.  

On the underside, I cut open the holes for the shell ejection chutes.  Small airbags on covers of the engine has cut off and has transferred on the place. The gun barrels of the machine guns were from medical needles. The aerial wire is made of a string from Hobby+Plus.

The model is painted with paints from Hobby+Plus (made in Belarus) with the help
