Hi guys, sorry I have not posted here recently. Here is something I just finished tonight you might like, a night fighter of a slightly different color.
This aircraft is a Messerschmitt Bf-109E7 night fighter flown by Hptm. Herbert Ihlefeld during April 1941. Mounted on the ventral side of the fuselage is the housing for a Peil G IV direction-finding unit. The kit is the Hasegawa 1/48 Bf-109E4/7.






My final coat was some Polly Scale clear flat and it was not like all the previous PS clear flats I have gone through. The paint was much thicker and had a brown tint to it. When applied it left aweful white marks on the finish. I had to recoat with Future then thin the Polly Scale about 200% with windex to get a good result. Was not fun learning this but I guess a single bottle will go a heck of a lot further now.
The kit did provide yellow decals for the wing and tail markings but I choose not to use them. All yellow markings are airbrushed.
