In this video I assembly Eduard's Bf 109G-6 Weekend Edition kit and really focus on how I airbrush the splotches. Get your glue bases, titanium knives and cutting mats at tankraft.com!
Great job on the paint job! You are correct that our brains struggle to create truly random patterns and we need to focus to make sure we aren't making an unintentional design. But since all WWII camo paint jobs were also hand applied it is entirely possible that the original painter inadvertently created their own patterns.
I haven't stabbed my balls but I have pierced the nice soft area on the inside part of my left foot just above the heel. After that I adopted the 'no-roll' approach.
If you don't care about the branding or the color, search for "silicone pen grip", and you'll find all sorts of slip-on grips, usually in bright or pastel colors, in larger quantities (although how many different craft knives would you need at one time?) for less money than the Tankraft ones.
What, exactly, was the problem with the 109's undercarriage? I noticed on my 1/72 that the angle of the struts and the wheels themselves are splayed out. Was it (what we skateboarders would call) the wobbles?
I've always found that when I have partially completed one side of the mottle, I start the other side but with a mirror on the started side, so as to get a similar amount of mottle applied on both sides.
That’s when someone is just good at something and expects anyone to be able to do it. Ever look at a kids learn to draw book and steps 1-3 are logical and then step 4 it’s completely done and shaded in? Like a bunch of steps are missing? That’s the “Just Paint the Owl” technique
Looks great, though none of it was field applied, it's a standard Erla G-6 scheme and was all factory applied. Imo the erla scheme is the most interesting of the 109 factory schemes.
Quite nice mottling you made out of it, good description of your process 👍 It's a pity that Eduard does not show in instructions places that should be filled or corrected, like those engine cover parts or infamous "Eduards's V", rookie-trap V-shaped line on lower centroplane. I also think that decals on outer flaps should be placed inside (RLM02 covered part) of flap; next time also don't forget to add braking hoses on landing gear 😉 Last thing to add - I would not choose this color combination (I fell in love with MRP colors since last year); but as mentioned, at the end also the color mix does not look bad at all. Very nice model and fine build, thanks for sharing 👏
That is an awesome job on the German Camouflage! It is especially incredible since this is your first time doing it! I am definitely going to use these same techniques when I build my 109. Thanks again!
I think you have done quite well. I've been practising with getting tight freehand soft edge camo on a test mule between projects recently and even though it's a test mule I found myself getting shirty when I stuffed it up 😂 Love your work!
As weird as it sounds, the stuffing it up is going to teach you more than if it is working 100%. You really learn what affects what when it comes to pressure, distance and thinning
@@Steve_8341 basically if the bill passes, I have to do all Canadian content or my channel gets buried and you have to search for it. No more click throughs
Great work once again! When you processed the cowling with spruce-glue came to me a thought. Couldn't you inlay the part directly with a small amount of spruce-glue to avoid seamlines? Have you tried this before, or heard of anyone trying it? Just out of interest...
