[woljags]

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.

[Crimea_River]

Nice Bob. Are you using enamel or acrylics?

[A4K]

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.

[Airframes]

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

[woljags]

the undercart is racked forward Evan,the paints are enamels ,the camo pattern is as per the box instructions Terry but would be interested in your thoughts of how to improve them please

[Crimea_River]

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.

[A4K]

Good info guys!

[woljags]

thanks Andy,i will redo her and report back when done

[Wayne Little]

Look forward to more!

[woljags]

Thanks to Andy for the info on colours for a 109F i have now redone the camo and i,m very pleased with the results for me
