Hi chaps.
Anyone who has had a look at my model of the Bf109 flown by Major Helmut Wick and my attempt at the wonderful cammo on the Balkans Bf 109, will realise I'm a sucker for different, even wacky cammo schemes.
I've been on the look out for a 'Saw tooth' cammo 109 for ages, and finally nailed this 1/48 one on E bay for £7.00 inc.p/p!
I have been pestering Steve (Stona) with questions and thanks to his great knowledge and patience, I have enough information to make a start on this model.
The kit, from ICM is terrific, loads of detail (See the picture of the bits just for the engine!) I like to give these less common kits a chance rather than the usual Tamygawa stuff, because they usually are a lot cheaper, tend to go for the more obscure types of aircraft and can make up into great kits. I haven't started it yet, so I can't comment on the fit....Yet!
So here is my project, I'm really looking forward to having a crack at the saw tooth cammo. The front box art is a bit naff, but inside......
Steve, if you read this, it would be nice if you were to add some info. and history about this particular type of aircraft.
Cheers,
Ron
