This is my
1/32 Hasegawa Messerschmitt Bf-109F-4 trop finished with the
markings of Yellow 14 ( W Nr.8673) from 3./JG27 flown by Hans Joachim
Marseille . W Nr.8673 is the last Marseille’s Bf-109 F-4
when he achieved his 151st victory in September 1942.
The kit is
“Hasegawa Bf-109 F-4 trop” with new tooled fuselage halves. This
is a well detailed kit with beautiful surface details, accurate outline,
improved spinner shape etc.

The construction
started with the painting of cockpit components to RLM66. Most of
the cockpit parts are new. The early F seat design is tedious with two
parts assembly line. Does it need to be so tricky? It needs to
eliminate the join seam of the seat by using putty bountifully.
The cockpit is
modified by Eduard seat belts and MDC (Model Design Constructions)
Luftwaffe Instruments Decals.
Other
modifications are :
-
-AIRES
Messerschmitt Bf 109F wheels bay

-AIRES
Messerschmitt Bf 109F main wheels

The painting was
done with Gunze Sangyo acrylics. The upper surfaces are painted to RLM 79
and the lower surfaces to RLM 78.
Decals are from
EagleCals EC131 decal set.
Happy Modelling
