Here are some pics of my 1/32 scale Hasegawa Bf 109G-14.
This model was built OOB except for resin wheels and decals from EagleCals.
I used ModelMaster II enamel paints and I lightened the colors slightly with some white paint until they looked 'right' to me.
Weathering was done with an oil wash and careful airbrushing...no pastel chalks used on this model.

Outstanding!
Really, I have not seen to many 109's posted on here, compared to the latest Tiger I, II pzwkfphzkMk.IIV Ausf Z that are posted on another Kitmaker site. Not that there is anything wrong with that! :-)
Again, wonderful job, but could you throw in some cockpit photos as well?

Hi Les
I agree with the others: "That is just great!"
but why do you always build in wrong scales .... 1/48 rules :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
best wishes

Hello me again
I took a look at your gallery photos and am really impressed with your photography. I was thinking that if you had the time, teaching us in a feature about your photography tools, backgrounds, and technics would be really cool.
Just a suggestion but something to think about

Thank you wingman, WingTzun, Fred, Derek, Wayne, Jesper, Steffen, Jan, and Thomas!
About my pics...I use a FujiFilm FinePix 3100 camera and shoot all my pictures outside on a photobase I made for taking pictures of my models.
I have three different backdrops I use, 2 of them I airbrushed myself the other is from a model RR scenic set. I am very picky about the time of day when I shoot my model pics, if the sun is too bright the glare ruins the pics, if its too dark I can't get the focus just right.
Here are a couple in-progress pics of the cockpit...
The real ''white 21'' from the EagleCal instruction sheet...
