    Bf109E3, 'Yellow 11', 9/JG54, Waldemar Wubke, August 1940, BoB Group Build.

    Username: Airframes.
    Name: Terry.
    Category: Judge, non-competing.
    Scale: 1/32nd.
    Kit: Hasegawa Bf109E.
    Accessories: home made decals, lots of scratchbuilding, 'Aires' resin wheels, some parts from the Matchbox kit, possibly some resin cockpit parts.

    My second entry for the Group Build is the old (ex- Frog) Hasegawa kit, which will require a lot of work to get it to look right. The cockpit alone is going to take a lot of time, as the kit parts are totally inaccurate, especially the cockpit structure itself. As I can't get a replacement seat, and moulding one has proved unsuccessful, I can either build one around a suitable donor from the spares box, or use the one from the Matchbox kit, replacing the latter with a cockpit set from Aires. As this model will have the canopy closed, I'd rather use the Matchbox parts here, and keep the resin set for the Matchbox model, where the canopy will be open, allowing more to be seen.
    As described in the review I posted recently, this kit needs a lot of work in other areas too, most noticeably the under- wing radiators, and the cowling.
    The camouflage finish is in contrast to that on the other GB entry, and will be the 'plain' scheme used in the early stages of the BoB, without any yellow tactical paint, but with the 'tiger stripe' mottling on the fuselage, an interesting combination of Schwargrun and Dunkelgrun on the main wings, with the later RLM71 / RLM 02 fuselage spine colours, the sides and undersurface being in RLM 65.
    So far, I haven't been abler to ascertain the Werk number for this aircraft, so if anyone happens to know what it was, I'd appreciate the info !

    Good one Terry! I love the camo. I might have to find an aircraft with a similar scheme for the Hobbycraft 109E I have in my stash.
