Dear Steve,

Attached are 5 images of my 1/48 Tamiya Bf.109E-4/7 for your consideration
for the ARC website.  Text for the pictures is given below.  This model
appeared in Hyperscale a couple of years ago, but the images I am submitting
here are all new and much improved digital images.

I really enjoy checking in on your site, and decided it was time to
contribute.

All the best,
Ian Robertson

Messerschmitt Bf.109E-7 (trop)

by Ian Robertson

This is Tamiya's 1/48 Bf.109E-4/7 kit built OOB and shown in the markings of
a tropicalized aircraft stationed in North Africa in 1941.  The camouflage
is RLM 78/79/80 airbrushed freehand using Polly Scale acrylics and a Paasche
VL airbrush.  The tires were painted RLM 66, the propeller RLM 70, and the
spinner and theatre band white.

This kit goes together very well, but be careful with the positioning of the
horizontal stabilizers on the tail.  Attach the braces after the stabilizers
have been lined up properly.  If you rely on the braces to determine the
position of the stabilizers, the stabilizers will droop (trust me!).

My photographs were taken with a SONY digital camera in sagebrush-scrub
desert south of Boise Idaho.  In the background are the Owyhee Mountains.
