Today we're building the new dual boxing of Tamiya's awesome BF-109. I had to overcome a few challenges and figure out how to do the weathering, but I hope you enjoy the result- I definitely did.
Nice video...without too many frills, just how I like them...and excellent result! I also have a Hasegawa Bf 109 G6 which I will start soon. I intend to further detail the model with riveting and photo-etching... it's the first time 🤞🏻. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of your videos.
Nice video. Great build. That kit looks good. I have a Revell of that aircraft. Looking forward to doing it with the technique You showed. Thank You for sharing.
Really nice video, after watching your video I felt like making my Tamiya BF-109 🙂. Thanks for the great advice in the video. Peace from Sydney Australia.
Everything beautifu except from one minor detail.... You forgot or like many others ..just didn´t seem to care about putting in a seatbelt. That would have made the model more complete. Just saying. Other then that. Excellent work.
Beautiful work! Thank you for explaining your techniques. Question, what's the purpose of the texture stencil? Is it to add a rougher surface texture? How does it work? I'm very new to the hobby so I have not seen something like that.
Hey man, thank you! Good question- so the texture template is really just a form of “pre-shading” like people do on their panel lines. It just adds some variation to finish and makes it look less flat and more interesting. You’ve just gotta be careful not to paint over it completely though. Note when I say “texture” I mean just visually, the paint itself should still be nice and smooth. Also, you can get a similar result with a stretched out scouring pad to save some money! Let me know if you have any more questions!
OH, where's the landing gear going in? I'm always curious about how 109's gear are engineered. I see that they are not like Tamiya's Spitfire that are so nice...I was hoping their 109's would be the same. The finished product is great!
I'd definitely agree. I'll even paint my model in a midnight black. Followed by some red and yellow similar to Germany's flag. Or I can keep it into WWII colors. If I'm lucky turn the basement into a battle of Brittain inspired museum. If lucky, sell some model kits.
