Enjoyed building several out of the box Hasegawa 109’s many years ago.
Preparation finished!
Now I am waiting the paints for finish the model
Sander, clean, washed and done for primer
As the paints haven’t arrived yet, I decided to do something that I’ve seen in several videos and have always enjoyed!
First I downloaded the simplified plans, then I drew them with a pencil, then I came with the rivet marker, sanded and finally applied a wash to mark the rivets.
I just think they are too superficial, fear of losing the marks when I start painting.
What do you think?
Airbrushing with a properly thinned high, quality hobby paint shot in thin coats, I think the rivets will be good.
Thanks dude, I will use enamel primer and AK Acrylics for paint all kit, I hope can this do it because I think is very coll the rivets.
Would it be worth making several rows of rivets on a scrap piece of sheet styrene and doing a test shot that paint?
I have zero familiarity with AK’s acrylic paints. I still shoot Floquil etc.
Grear idea! I will test in styrene.
I never heard of Floquil.
Good deal!
Floquil was an outstanding line of quality model rail road & military enamel paints. Bought by a competitor and discontinued ~ 25 years or so ago.
Wow… 25 years late!!!
Thanks for explanation Wade.
Now I need wait the package arrive in my house and test the AK paints.
Today I will finishe the rivets in other parts of Bf109.
Good night everyone, now yes. All ready to receive the primer
While the lines are at customs I finished crossing the Bf and tomorrow I will cross the Fw.
I leave some photos for you!
It takes work, you have to be patient but I really liked the end result.
My only fear is that when I paint it all disappears.
How would you describe the overall fit of the kit?
Wade, the fit is good, not perfect but good.
I had to sand down the lower wing a bit to get into the fuselage but nothing much.
I believe it will take more work are the flaps.
