Hello all, this is my latest project,
an Eduard Bf109 E7 Trop (Weekend Edition) of 2./JG27, Ain En Gazala Airfield Libya
1941. I also used Eduard's photo etch with this kit. The fit on this kit was a bit tricky especially around the engine bay and
I built the engine that came with this kit, but I could not get it to fit in the engine bay.
The engine is was just too big and I tried different things to get it to fit, but it was not to be, but
I can use it for a future diorama that I'll make.

I painted this 109 with
Tamiya & Vallejo paints and gave it gloss and matt varnishes & weathered (lightly) use artist oils and weathering powders. For the mottling
I made my own templates. The base was quite easy to make, I used pva glue and modelling sand and
I cut the JG27 emblem off the box and gave it a good few coats of matt varnish. The air intake is wrong for this particular aircraft, but
I decided to leave it as it is as it looks ok.
