This is Hasegawa's 1/48 Bf 109G-6 done if Finnish markings. Post War 1948. I added several scratchbuilt items to the cockpit and landing gear. Gunze acrylics were used. Enjoy!

Hi James

That's supeb! Great photos of a beautiful build.

Is that the kit-supplied spinner? The neat rivet detail really catches the eye.

All the best

Merlin,

Thanks for the encouragement! I forgot to mention the spinner...it is a resin replacement from Eagle Editions....!

Thank you very much, Mal......I appreciate the encouragement!! The decals are from the Aeromaster "Augsburg Eagles III" sheet. The kit came with markings for this a/c, plus the Blue/White checked pylon racer, but I lost the sheet somewhere between the show I bought it at and home......long story that even I don't know all of!!!!
