The kit:  

The kit of the Bf109 E4/7 comes from Tamiya, arranges the box after opening, modelling-fun pure. 

Super detailed over all. Since I had another Resin cockpit of the company Aires in my remains-crate however, the opportunity finally presented itself to install it.

The assembly: 

First I solved all Resin-parts and cleaned her with dishes-washing liquid, so that the primer sticks. By some test-mountings I must see, that the that the mounting of the Resincockpits was not so easy. Some grindings later (Side-paneels, ground-plate, aso.) finally I came to an useful result. As primer-paint for the cockpit, I would use RLM 02 and aged in usual manner afterwards: Color-broth, dry-brush, Mikro-chips. After finally built-in the cockpit, I could glue the two torso-halves. The - by grinding the glue-seams -  gone engravings, I had to engrave new. The undercarriage I gave Break-cables from thin Copper-wire, the exhaust pipe was drilled with a micro-drill. Furthermore I wanted to represent the elevators in upper position, so these must cutted from the tailplane (with a photo-etched micro-saw) and fixed new. After then the airplane was ready to varnish. 

Varnishing and marking: 

Since I wanted always to build a BF109 with tropics-paint, following tones went into action:

Upperside: RLM 79 (GUNZE), RLM 80, AEROMASTER,  

Underside: RLM 78 (AEROMASTER) 

Torso-band (know), propeller-leaves RLM 70, Gunze, undercarriage, tabs RLM 02, Gunze,  

I coated the ready-varnished model with a layer " future ", to avoid „silvering“ of Decals. 

I didn't want to use the decals existing in the kit, since they appeared to me to thickly.

I had miscellaneous crosses and squadron-signs in my remainder-box, to represent " yellow three " they was stationed in Lybia in 1941, pilot unknown. 

 
Result: 

The construction - with exception of the cockpit - has made ready much fun for 5 months!!!!

Happy modelling
