  This is the personal plane of Adolf Galland during the Battle Of Britain. It is the Tamiya 1/48 Bf109E-4/7 Trop kit married with the decal options in Hasegawa's Bf109E Galland "Special". I also added an Ultracast Bf109B-E seat which comes with the harness moulded on (a godsend if, like me, you don't want to be messing about with foil & buckles). I tried to fit the Moskit exhausts as well, but they wouldn't go (possibly only work on Hasegawa). In the end I drilled out the kit parts and used those.

  Paint mixes are my own using Tamiya paints (I keep a supply of RLM colours ready mixed). These are based on the Tamiya suggested paint mixes, but significantly lightened to allow for pre-shading. I've used the bare minimum of weathering as I haven't summoned up the courage to do it properly.
