Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109G-6 | Full Painting Tutorial 

Beautiful work on this model.

Easy watch. Love the paint and decal work.

Impressive, convincing and very well executed.

Outstanding build and video.

Gorgeous Great job with those big decals

looks great good job

As a person just returning back to the plastic model hobby, this was a very inspirational video and gave me the “heh, I can do that” vibe. Thank you. Honestly though, an earlier video you made featuring the Tamiya Bf-109F Trop. Version really got me thinking about starting building again. The desert camo pattern was just great. So I started my “need to buy” list from your very useful list of links(keep doing that) and hit a snag with the actual Tamiya kit itself. Sprues was out, Andy’s Hobby was out, and even Tamiya on their site was out. I can get my hands on the Bf-109G kit so it looks like that will be my first attempt, Lol. I don’t know if you will read this comment since the video is several months old now, but if you do, thanks for all your efforts. A newly retired, former military modeler returning to the fold.

Well done!🤗

Well my American cousin, thats I'd a Beautiful plane! You look like my brother. I thought it was him when I found your channel, I called and said hey when did you start modeling, he was like Wtf you talking about

Nice one! I have this kit on the bench, first Gustav for me I’m more A-E but trying to explore a few of the later ones, great work 👍

Once again my friend a cracking video! Keep up the good work!

Hi Hank really enjoyed the video. Great and thank you

I just got my hands on this kit and I can't wait to make it happen after watching this. Final result is some S tier material.

Nice build, I remember reading the book about him when I was a kid.

Amazing

I tought the bf109 was a life size replica in the tumbnail for a second, because the figure was so good lmao. Nice work

You mention in the opening statement that the aircraft is infamous. Famous is more like it! That being said, outstanding job! Thanks for sharing.

That is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Hartmann has been a hero of mine since I was a kid. You really did it justice!!

The painting is the best part. Too many people putting up builds 😊

I really enjoy the look of German fighters and the late war colours make them look very sinister. Nice job

Great job! I always wanted one of Hartmann's 109s in my collection, bt the tulip really scared me off. Gonna try it now...

I’m getting ready to start this kit so I appreciate this video. I have a question. I’ve never used Ammo Mig acrylics before but ordered some the other day. Can they be thinned with Mr Leveling Thinner or should I just use their own acrylic thinner? Love the channel!

역시 bf109는 2차대전 당시 독일군 전투기 중에서 가장 아름다운 기체라 생각 됩니다 ㅎㅎ

Nice looking schmitte mate 😉👌

Great video and amazing work. Your contest has me interested. I haven't built an aircraft since I was a kid. I used to build armor but haven't done it in years. I was looking at the Tamiya 1/72 BF-109G-6. By chance did you build it and if so would you recommend it? Thanks in advance

Spectacular!

Just subscribed! I'm about a year back into modeling myself and just got back into armor a couple months ago. Any plans to try out 1/25th scale model cars in the future?

Hi Hank! I enjoy your videos as i am trying to get back in the hobby after about 25 years. Can you tell be what the correct AMMO RLM color is for the nose on Tamiya Kit 61063? Is it RLM 79? Building the Battle of Briton variant. Thanks Hank

Have you ever tried any of the eduard kits, they are amazing

I see you have paintet the wing root panels RLM 76. Most BF 109 have the wing colors on these panels!

Nice demo. May I ask you which needle size you use in your airbrush? I am pretty comfortable with .38mm but my .25 is often clogged by paint, even thinned. Thanks.

Great tutorial! Your model base structure, on which the model rests, does that have a product name? I need that! Thanks.

Great build and video Hank, i like you gig, any info on where you got it?

With the front decals, did you have to forgo the open cowl engine display function of this model? Great build. I’m getting ready to decal mine…totally JV compared to your build, but glad my daughter bought me a kit and got me back into the hobby after 40 years!

Excellent job and beautiful plane. You seem to be a guy who knows what hes doing.. 😄 So if i may ask a question... I like very much almost every product made by mig ammo. Ive been reading so much bad things about airbrushing mig acrylic paints, what is your honest opinion about them? I havent try any yet, but i like to try them. Everybody is telling me how bad they are, It is hard to belive mig is putting something so bad on the market. In your hands, they seem to work just fine..? 👍

What wash should I use if I am building a P-51?

I thought you can sand off the grey plastic part so you dont need to cut your erla canopy.

Is it good to use a hot gule gun for model kits?

Great result, and really nice videos... i just found your channel and it's nice to see some fresh new content... especially good content. One "critique" however... PLEASE don't refer to aircraft as "vehicles". With that said... keep up the good work!

😎🍻🎄

The thumbnail looks more real then mark zugerberg

It's a beautiful but an incomplete build. I'm really beginning to like 1:48 scale.

Cartman?

Hartmann finished the war with 352 kills to his credit. After the war, the Wehrmacht was disbanded and it wasn‘t until 1956, that (West) Germany built up Armed Forces and a Luftwaffe again. Bubi Hartmann was brought in and he went on to become a full Colonel. Often unliked by his bosses, he was always crirical towards combat efficency and didn’t like political games. When testing new jets in the US, he is said to have tested a jet beyond the flight envelope and crashed it, parachuting away at the last moment. When he was picked up, he is said to have uttered: „That is now 353 allied aircraft downed.“ 😂

Man that's a great build, but I don't like how the German fighters don't come with swastika's on the vertical stab. It was what it was and we're modeling little pieces of history. I don't like the way that history is scrubbed.

Nice work! Been following you for a while on Instagram, how have I only just found your YT page 😆

what was the point of painting the plane brown just to wipe it all off? i know you mentioned "weathering effect" but it didn't seem to alter the appearance at all once it was wiped off

Hey, quick question. Do you dilute the primer with water? I find the Ammo mig black priper and the valejo white ones need some drop of water to prevent the airbrush from clogging. Or is just the pressure that's too high? I'm kind of going back and forth with this stuff but always end up with a blocked nozzle.
