  This is my first submission, so here it goes. this is the 1/48 Hobbycraft BF-109G-6 'Aces Mount' HC1541. the Aircraft I chose to model is Black 4 belonging to Kroatian Ace LT. Zivko Dzal of 15.(Kroat)/JG52 Fighting on the Eastern Front 1943,12 Kills.  The kit was built straight from the bag, the only additions I made were paper clip pieces for the cannon barrels and my first rescribing attempt. The Decals are mix of kit decals and Decals from a Fujimi sheet with all sorts of Luftwaffe units and insignias. I painted the Kit with Model Master Acryillics RLM 74,75,76,02,66 04, and enamels for the Spinner. The wash is Brown Wash from Phil Flory, and some Crayola Water Colors, to simulate the Dirty Mud conditions on the Eastern Front in the Kuban Region. And the Gun Troughs and Exhausts were done with Tamiya Weather Master Gunmetal and Oil Stain.

  For my First prop i am really happy with the build and the turnout of the kit. Since the finish of this 109 I am Hooked on the 109 and some of the amazing histories of these aircraft and the pilots who flew them, and now have 5 109's. look forward to more in the future. Thanks to All, and I hope you Enjoy this Build

   
  Eugene.
