Gutentag, I am planning to build a 1/48 Me109G-4, the one that the famous Ace Erich Hartmann used in the Russian front, and I would like to hear:
1) Does hasegawa kit presents any kind of mistake, misfit or decal problem?
2) Tips about weathering for the russian front (consider what might be the effects of the russian climate on the paint)

Danke

Hasegawa kits are pretty good. Infact I am just about done working on two. F6F Hellcat, and a Spit. His plane I assume measures up to the good molds, and high quality of most Hasegawa planes.

The weathering, faded paint, chipped paint where the crewmen walked, dusty, maybe muddy. Also, exhaust stains from the pipes back along the aircraft depending how old it was.

Other than that it should be an interesting build. Hope that helps!

Because I dont have pictures of planes in the eastern front, I dont know how ice, snow and weathering affect the paint of planes. How much of chipping and stains? That is my problem. Maybe one of you has already uploaded some pictures of a similar case, so I can see how russian climate affect the paintjob.

Danke
