Great work! Coming up nicely.
Judging from the very few of mentions concerning parts fit, I presume the kit is going together as well as it looks like?

I got that kit in my stash and I've been paying close attention to this thread for tips and pointers for the time when I get it under construction someday.

Everything in this kit fits well- only wing's end need some putty, or some filling. There is necessary to pay some attention on mounting wing with the fuselage- fits good, but it is possible to mount it in a wrong geometry

Lower surfaces painted and highlighted. Camouflage on upper wing surfaces and fuselage will be covered with winter camouflage, so i pay little attention on it

I have deep trust in your skill, Kamil.
Know some of your work from the MIG Forum.
Splendid!
Keep it up!

So.. my computer is down, my internet connection is speedless.. but it is a time for some update.
First some decals. For balkenkreuzes I've used decals from the kit- it was a bad choice. It is recommended to replace them with some aftermarkets. Blurred print and definitely not user friendly with applying.
Fortunately decals from Kagero works well with Microscales decal fluids and work with them was really a pleasure
I've paint damaged white camouflage using hair-spray technique.
Next step was wash- I've used mix of van dyke brown oil paint thinned a little with white spirit.
After that I've made oily stains and patches, with MIG's dark wash and Oil from lifecolor's tensocrome. Final touch was some dirt on wheels, fuselage and wings made with tamiya's weathering sticks and exhaust smoke made with pigments.

Base is made with piece of 3mm styrene. At first I covered it with acrylic putty and molded with it 'concrete' base. I put on it some resin accessories and paint with different tones of gray. snow is made with mix of acrylic resin and baking soda

..and finished

Hi KamilS,

Wow, excellent work! The faded camouflage looks fantastic!

I will try to use the same hair spray technique for my Fw189. Any advice on how to use this technique?

I think you should submit your work for a feature...

Jean-Luc

Thanks Jean-Luc
Hair spray technique is really simple. At first I paint simple camouflage scheme. Than i covered it with glossy varnish. Next step was coat of hair spray (applied direct from the can, but some modellers prefer airbrush for it). When it dries I put coat of white paint. I've used gunze's paint, but best for this technique are water based acrylics, like vallejo or lifecolors- they have worse adhesion than tamiyas or gunze C. Final step is scratching paint. At first you have to wet whole surface with water (or if it doesn't works well you can try with microscale's SOL decal fluid) , and than you can scratch paint with toothpick, hard brush or toothbrush.

Wow! very very nice model, outstanding weathering!
a pure jewel.
Congrats and thanks for sharing!

raf

Just like Raphael said, outstanding weathering.

This is a GREAT model with my favorite camo' & one of my favorite JagdGeschwader

BUT, the landing gear struts....are too straight


Cheers Nick

simply breathtaking.

OH MY GOD! That is the best looking 109 model I've ever seen. I mean it is perfect. The weathering makes it even better. Great work. My hat is off to you for this little jem. I am building one right now but it will be nowhere near as perfect as this one. Simply jaw dropping.
Floyd

Thank you very much!

Nick- you have right, main landing gear are a little bit too straight, but consider please, two things:
1. camera's lens deformation/perspective
2. Gear covers are unmounted- it changes a little view of main gear profile

so.. it is almost unnoticeable, especially with 'naked eye.

but thanks for notice. I think it is not my last zvezda's Bf, so I will improve your notification

Absolutely stunning! I know some of your works from the MIG Forum and it always was a pleasure to read. At this project you just follow the logic: Transfering techniques from one modellling- discipline to another.
Definitely an outstanding result and a excellent approach to whitewash on airplanes. Just perfect! Congratulations!

Congrat's Kamil! It is wonderful peace of painting mastery! Thanks for the camo tip as well!

Thanks a lot!

Well, I think that is the very best rendition of a worn winter camo I have seen in my modelling career (and I am modelling for approx. for almost 20 years now). Simply excellent!



Servus,

Sebastian

Fine work Kamil....Well done.....

Hey mate,
first off amazing work, im literally awestruck at how good it is!
secondly, i was just wondering how you got from this stage:

to this stage:


in terms of the fading on the white, and the weathering look?
cheers
jay

Hi Jay
It was faded mostly by the wash; thick oil paint applied over whole surface and removed with cloth and cotton buds.

There is a little bit different technique for winter camouflage, too. Please, check this thread: http://inscale.org/pub/index.php?topic=1169.msg2339#msg2339. Although it was made on the vehicle, but technique is the same

Fantastic work - beautiful! I must try to imitate this some time (imitation is the greatest acclaim, you know )

That it is so freaking amazing it makes mine look like a kids toy. lol Awesome work there mate. Lots to learn from those pics. Thanks for sharing.
