Title: Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109 E-3
Post by: mharviala on Mon 06/25/12 08:59 AM
One of the advantages to rarely finishing a kit is that you always get to make progress on something.

I dug this kit from the stash, and scratched my head as to why I hadn't ever finished it.  OK, time to fix it.  Here are pix of my 109 E-3 in Spanish markings from the spring of '39.  Plain 71/65 finish, let's hope weathering breathes a little life into it.

Tamiya kit, so all errors are mine.

The dark stripes are gloss under the markings - it'll all blend in once it's been overcoated.

This and three others will be receiving the gloss treatment next to seal markings, and then it's on to the weathering.
