Heres my hasegawa 109G all finished.i added only eduard seatbelts.
The pilot is from andrea miniatures white metal figure.
Painted with Tamiya Acrylics and the weathering was done using oils.

That was absolutely well done! I like the grass. Was it scratchbuilt or did you use ready made diorama materials?

Hi Karl!

Nice "Messer" for a "non specialist"

The grass indeed looks fantastic! Seems to have been blown away by the propellers of the aircrafts!

Just one little thing I noticed: the silvering on the wings decals! When applying german crosses, try to cut away the center of the decal and apply the four parts left separately! It will improve the look of the model a lot!
You still can take away the decals if you haven't "futured" them. Or did you already!? Anyway, it's the only "minus" I can see on your great model!

A bit more than "not bad" I recon, a wonderful effort, well done. Love the figure, I must get back into painting figures. I also like the grass, I can see in pic 1 that it is some sort of sheet material? please spill the beans
Did I spot this in the RRB forum? I'll check it out and leave a couple of comments there, just a couple of pointers for future Luftwaffe aircraft, cos after this I hope we will see more
