SPA Modeler

Or I might do this one:

Bf 109E-7 'Black >>' of III./JG5 at Petsamo, August 1942

I’m surprised to see an Emil in front line use, at that point of 1942. Even on such a remote front as Finland. Interesting...

It being such a uncommon scheme and history makes me want to do it!

There is also this one from the Battle of Britain

Decided to stay with the original scheme. After painting the other 109 I think I want to attempt another closed bird learning from mistakes made to make a better 109. One of the kits I ordered has some Brassin parts in it so I will save the opening up for that one. Since I am waiting for my gloss I figure I can maximize airbrush time for more parts per color being shot. Tonight starts the pit!

There are so many colour schemes for the 109, making a choice is always difficult for that plane. I think you could make a career out of modelling 109’s.

Very true! From the frozen far north of the arctic circle to the broiling sands of the Sahara, England to the Caucasus... there are so many color schemes and unit markings to choose from. Not to mention the early to late versions...

My 109 decal stash tells me this

Yes there are A LOT of schemes! I need to buy more to do the schemes I want to do! Problem I am running into is picking a scheme to do with the cowl opened up since when the model is done it will go on the shelf that way. This scheme I am going to do here in this thread I like it closed ip to show it complete. Next 109 is going to be a G-6 that has been grabbing my eye. I do wish Eduard would make a new mould of the fuselage like the F and G models as a supplement to the original fuselage. This way if you want it closed you can build it closed with less fighting (it’s not that bad but their F and G models are so nice!)
