    i also need to rub back some of the paintwork as for some reason it has gone on a little heavy in places even though i was using a good quality brush with thinners

    Don't think you will have much worry there Bob, you have until end of August for this GB and hope your rubbing back has worked on this one.



    At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

    Nice Bob. Are you using enamel or acrylics?

    Coming along Bob!

    One question - is it just the camera angle, or are the undercarriage legs standing a little too straight? They should be raked a little forwards.

    Agree with all. Not so sure about that upper surface camouflage pattern though Bob.

    This would be closer to the pattern and colours for the scheme you're doing Bob. The colours were typically known as the 74/75/76 scheme, these being the colours stipulated by the German Air Ministry, RLM. RLM 76 is the very light blue/gray on the bottom and sides. RLM 74 is a dark green/gray and 75 is a mid tone gray.

    Andy beat me to it ! There were some variations, depending on the period and the factory which produced the airframe. The early '109Fs used a pattern similar to, but not the same as, the '109Es of the BoB period (in RLM 02/71/65). This was then changed to a pattern similar to the one posted by Andy, using the three greys, but not as complex, first noted on the downed 'F' of Rolf Pingel.
    Later still, this became a more soft - edged, slightly wavy splinter, and, when the 'G' was introduced, even more changes came about.
    As a rough guide, the pattern posted by Andy is close enough.
