Out of box me109G6

This is pobaly my as build ever. it has only been on the workbench for about two months and that for me is an absolute record. This is what to me is an out of box build. I only put in the necessary stuff and work to make it accurate and up to standard but no panels upened and nothing revealed. So to me it is the bare minimum one should do to a model. It is also my last 109.......maybe. I did not find and G so this is the Hasegawa G14. Atermarket stuff includes, resin air intake, resin spinner, resin wheels (thanks to Marco), photoetched canopy and wheel bay detail and also the seat belts. all other stuff is scratch built or modified from the kit. here goes.

You call that OOB build, you must be joking mate, I am sure that we will witness another masterpiece, great work as usual!!!!!!!!!

I second Joeseph you could not resist to detail the bird eh ...

By the way were is Alex el Greco been a while not seeing him here ...

Ivan

It is not any detailing, just the areas that show. I did not specify out of which box all the stuff came from anyway. Ivan, i have not heard from Alex for quite some time but accoring to their website, he is busy with an expo and in fact has stopped putting up updates.

Very interesting "New Way OOB"

That's the joke of the year Brian and waiting for the finished product

Ray

great work, keep posting

Hi Brian...

I like your title......Out of the box...

Come on...OOB & Brian are not married yet!!!!

Keep it safe!!!

hi My Greek friend, good to hear from you. Everybody was asking about you last meeting we had. hope you are ok. When are you coming again?

Hi again..

A mountain of work on our homepage, was expecting for me...All editors were temporary out of duty, so I had to do all the job alone...

I'm back with U again!!

Let me some time to check out the subjects i missed here!

GO ON TITAN!!!

Particularly like the PE work with the cockpit.....

Keep them coming!

Hi Mathew, thanks for the comments. It is not half as nice as your work on those guns. The wheel well detail was also photoetched and it fitted without any problem like a glove.

Some in progress shots. The painting stage is done and it has been given a coat of gloss varnish, most of the decals are on.

Well done Brian, a very good paint job

Thanks Joseph, i cannot finish it yet since i have a problem with the markings, something which i hope that Marco can help me solve, well if he cannot, who the hell can...???

Love the weathering Brian!

Hope you finish it as a vignette as well?

Ivan

Have not even started weathering except the weathering that comes with the paintwork, and yes, i shall have to work on a pilot figure to add to the base. It shall have to be a modified figure, i hate using the same figure over again.

Woow, so we await for further weathering ... that is great nice to see battleweary planes! One day you should do a crashed one!

Ivan

For those of you who did not see it at the club.






Sorry, something's wrong and i cannot upload more images, i shall try later.

excellent as is the norm from you wingy guys

Brian awesome and masterful work as usual but I cannot forgive you for not pointing this beauty to me while STILL at the club last Wed ta

I arrived a bit hastily I know and I went directly on the 1/2 Pizza and 1/2 Chicken Wrap Combo ATTACK, but I would have adorned my modelling specs and POSTPONED the food to ADMIRE this GEM

Again my BIGGEST APPLAUSE is not for the Aircraft per se as you know that any superlatives do not suffice, but for your sheer grit and determination of embarking on a figure painting venture a few years ago, SO EVENTUALLY YOU COULD ADORN YOUR MASTERPIECES with the BRAVE MEN WHO FLEW THEM!!!!!!!

A real pity that you can't make it to Catania as I would proudly fight in battle next to you my SSM BROTHER!!!!!!!

Ray

Brilliant and excellent as usual


Wil

Thanks for the great comments. I am sorry but something happened and i cannot upload the rest of the pics. there are some pics of the underside and also of the other side of the plane. The figure is a pathetic attempt and it is made from parts of 4 figures. The torso and legs up to the knees are from a resin pilot figure. The boots are from another. the arm holding the cigarette is from a plastic 35th scale figure and so is the head. The head was very crude and it was a real pain to try to get some decent features.

Well done, another masterpiece as usual!!!!

proset man

Prosit Brian

I love the subtle weathering and also the figure came great, so just to clear a point as on the Christmas project by the Duo has araisen, allura you just know what the crew and mechanics of teh Luftwaffe wore ... how come you just do planes? As that was the reasoning down there buy the lad who is intoxicated with Shermaholic material

Bravo again, this is again shows how great a combination of a figure goes with our machines ... it gives life!
