Finnish Air Force Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-6 1/72 Italeri

From Künnapuu, Ants: 100 Ōhusōidukit. Illusteerinud V.Tōnisson (Valgus, Tallinn, 1975)

Another airbrushing and weathering practice target, all freehand except wingtop splinter pattern. Xtracolor enamels RLM 74/75/76, Revell matt black #8 and matt varnish #2. Out-of-the box except reg. number and tactical #1 decals. This was fun! N.B.! I found out later that the tactical number "1" should be yellow, not white. The original Yellow 1 MT-401 of HLeLv (Fighter squadron) 23 operated from Hyvinkää Air Field in autumn 1946.

Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf-109G10 1/72 Revell

RLM 82 Braunviolett, RLM 83 Dunkelgrün, RLM 76 Lichtblau. Revell decals, swastika from Academy Me-262 A-1a kit. Freehand mottling with Iwata HP-C double action airbrush, Revell enamels. Final matt varnish Revell No. 2.



Cheap but nice and reasonably accurate kit for practicing the airbrush mottling technique. It isn't too easy in the 1/72nd scale!
