Airfix GB 1:48 Bf 109E

Post by mattlaker »

hi guys,

got the BF109 on the go for this one! Pictures to follow, as I am away from my bench at the moment... it is the Airfix club kit, in A&AEE markings...

Cracking kit so far tho! Falling together nicely, just as well as the tamiya ones do! Airfix certainly have got their act together!!!

Finished her pretty quickly- I think she took just over a week!

Here she is- I went for a slightly more weathered appearance- all of my reference photos show her absolutely filthy, so I have tried to replicate this as much as possible.
