  This is my completed Academy 1/72 Bf-109 G6. It was done mid of 2006 as part of a group build title "Just build anything, damnit!" amongst a few of my fellow modellers. The purpose of the GB was to provide an alternate distraction to the many stalled WIP and to relieve any AMS. :) 

  The kit was recommended by my fellow modeller Kwek. The kit builds up without any major problem with only some minor inaccurancies here and there. It may not score high marks in the accuracy department but to my eye, on overall the kit builds into a nice Bf-109 :) You can read a review about this kit at Scale Model Aircraft Kit Reviews.(http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/portland/971/Inbox/a-c/bf-109g6-i.htm)

  The kit is done OOB with addition of the fuel cable in the cockpit. The seat belt is made from Tamiya tape and painted accordingly. 

  For painting, Vallejo model air was used. The only exception is Mr gloss coat during the decal process. The paint scheme I chose is that for white 9 Bf-109G6/R6 Trop, 7/JG, flown by Uffz. Georg Amon. I took some liberty with the yellow tail and fuselage band which should be white as I think it looked better.:) 

  Panel lines have been accentuated with Tamiya enamel. Final weathering is done with pastel. Paint chipping is done with a silver Prismatic colour pencil.

  After this kit I went and get myself a Mustang, STUKA and Corsair all in 1/72 considering I work with 1/48 normally !
