1/32 Revell Messerschmitt Bf-109G-4/R-3/R-6/Trop

--------------------

 

This is the Revell boxing of the very good Hasegawa kit with the MG-17 cowl. The model was build out of the box and I just added Eduard seatbelts. The paint is Gunze acrylics for the RLM 78 and RLM 79 and Tamiya acrylics for the rest of the colours.

Kit decals were also used to decipt the plane flown by Oblt. Franz Schiess, 8./JG 53, Sicily 1943. As there are various colour references for this plane (white or yellow rudder, RLM79 only or RLM79/80 wings), I decided to use the kit's paint guide as I liked more.

This model won a third place at "Escala" contest last April at A Coruña (Spain).

I'd like to dedicate this plane to all the folks of the Aeronet Forum (http://www.network54.com/Forum/255364), and specially to Héctor Alonso whom made available to me these photos.
