Hi guys!
Since Iīve read the thread about group building of the BF109 I get the feeling that I must to participate of it, firstly because I do like this plane, and secondly, after a long time away from the planes (building armors), I decided to build all that planes I had, stacked on the cabinets, so I did!
Iīve finished in 1 month a Revell AG Bf109 E3, itīs an old Matchbox kit, and itīs very poor in details, but, since I decided to build my collection of warbirds without worrying about detailing the cockpit and so.
Iīve made it on Romanian colors, and besides some flaws in the decals I liked the overall appearence of the beauty. Itīs not for a contest or something like that, but for my personal pleasure....as soon as I can Íīll take some pics(old way) and post here.
Wait!

:-) Nice Paulo, especialy from a matchbox kit. I don't have any models in Romanian colours
but this looks nice. What specific green is it? Is the yellow RLM 04 or a Romanian shade?

Hi Holdfast!
Thanks for the comments..
Well I didnīt care for specific colors, for the bottom I used the RLM 62, for the upper surface I use Tamiya Olive green, for the yellow shade, I use the Tamiya Flat yellow since it was the closest I had in hands for match the decals....
Cheers
