Hi, this is the latest Bf-109 model from the Hal Sr Fleugzeug Fabrik (aircraft factory). It is the Tamiya Bf-109E-4/7 kit in 1/48th scale. The model represents the 109E-4 flown by Dr Erich Mix as Gruppen Kommandeur of III/Jg-2 in 1940. I've been wanting to do this bird ever since I saw a drawing of it in Karl Reise's first Camoflage and markings of the Luftwaffe book, way back in the late sixties. To my knowledge, no decal company ever produced a sheet of these markings, or if they did, I remained ignorant of its existence.

In any event, my buddy that made the decals for my other Mix machine agreed to try these also. As is usual, I made my own seatbelts and buckles, brake lines, added the stiffeners to the radiator intakes, and the visual radiator shutter indicators to the wings. The paints are Model master Enamels, RLM shades 02/71/65, applied using soft masks 1/16th inch above the surface. I then apply 2 coats of Future using a Q-tip. After the decal application, I finished off the bird with a coat of Testor's Dullcoat, thinned with lacquer thinner. 

The antenna cable is 2lb test monofilament fishing line. Note that the drop line enters the fuselage via a white insulator, which I duplicated by drilling a hole .025 in diameter, and inserting a piece of Evergreen rod the same size.
