My choose of painting scheme is Hans Phillip's II> with white temporary winter camouflage. Strongly weathered :>
I've started with engine (I'm going to expose it a little). It was necessary to add some details (but only visible one)

That is VERY interesting
I'll be watching it closely


Cheers Nick

wonderful work on the DB so far!

Yes certainly lovely work. I also didnt realise how good this kit was...till I saw that. Thanks

Keith

Thank you very much.
Little update
At first some painting schemes that have lost with winter one:





..but let's back to the model. I've add some more details on the engine (it's still not finished) and mount all details of the cockpit. Originally i wanted to mount ethed seatbelts on the pilot's seat, but i really like pilot's figure from that kit..
I also started work on the wing









..and i have to say it: working on this kit is really a pleasure!

This is going to be a very interesting build. Keep it up!

Go Kamil Go.
Ill be watching your progress- it may just spark me up to do some work on my Emil.

Looks great so far. I love the added engine detail.

looks great, you have a lot of patience and skill this piques my interest in the 109

Kamil,

Some great detail work on the engine. Looks like there's already some good detail in the plastic. I'm on the look out for this kit, and I'll be following your build.

Thanks

Simon

Wow, great pictures Kamil!
I'll watch at this one, my favorite!
Thanks for sharing!

raf

thanks a lot

engine complete




I also finished the wing. there was the only place tat needed some putty till now- wing's end




in Phillip's Bf tail wheel was blocked in open position and its bay was covered. It was necessary to rework kit's part. I've used magic sculp

Exellent job!

I`ve been doing the same model for a week.
Here is my engine
(the work is continuing)

Coming along very nicely indeed..very nicely

Thank you for your kind words!

Some minor modifications of figure; as I've said I'm going to made winter painting. That is the reason I had to add some fur collar to the uniform. Second one upgrade is head. That from the kit is not best, so I replaced it with CMK's one




Please note that cockpit is basecoated with silver- for further paint chips

Looks nice. Whether RLM02 is too dark?

Well, I thought it could be. Unfortunately we havent got a real example

A propo, skad estes, z ktorego miasta?

Well, i know that RLM02 has many different tones, but mostly little bit lighter. In my opinion it is represented by Gunze best.

Overall a great progress! Kamil, figure's neck seems to a little oversized - I guess the head should sit little bit deeper. At least seems so on the 1st picture. Don't you think?

yes, you have right. I've cut it a little..



..and also engine and engine's mount are finished

Because I have to paint immediately some russian tracked behemoth as a boxart for Tankmania's new release, I had to slow down with this project. But little update. I've finished cockpit and figure, and now fuselage is closed

a small progress.
It was necessary to change air intake's shape. I reworked it with magic sculp.
I've started work on engine covers- I'm going to paint them separately.
And one more figure.. I think it will be a good idea to place that plane on a small vignette

That's REALLY nice

Mr. Kamil, paint it with the Winter camo of I/JG-54 PLEASE


Cheers Nick

..very nice thread Kamil ....

Paintwork started:
Masking with tamiya's masking tape and plasticine. Simple preshadeing on lower surfaces and white basecoat for yellow markings
