  I always liked the desert scheme camouflages, and the Tamiya Bf109E-4 Trop on the cololors of JG27 is a nice example with his top surfaces painted in desert sand and motted with dark green patches.

  I added only pre-painted Eduard interior set FE220, handles for sliding panels on the canopy, brake lines and antenna wire.

  First I put a coat of Gunze Mr.surfacer 1000 as a primer and pre-shading the model with matt black.
  For this model I used Model Master Acrylics range, interior RLM02 Grau #4770, bottom surfaces RLM78 Hellblau #4788, top surfaces RLM79 Sandgelb #4789 and the patches with RLM80 Olivegrun #4790. Before the white fuselage band was sprayed in Tamiya XF2 and masked.
  Afther a couple of coats of Future and the decaling process, was sealed with another coat of Future and a final coat of Matt #4635.
  Then the exhausts stain was sprayed free hand with Tamiya XF1 and XF10. A wash of black chalk and some weathering with Tamiya Weathering set, complete the job.
