Thread: Official Messerschmitt Bf-109 painting thread

    A very nice paintjob, Ncholas. The desert yellow seems to be very accurate
    As Carl wrote, F version is the most streamlined of the 109 genre.
    But is the leading plane painted white on the underside?

    Thank you!

    They are both grey on the underside due to laziness, though I think that is quite accurate? haha

    Hi John your African Emils look fantastic. After I finish fleshing out my BoB Gruppe I will be following your example.

    Decals and gloss+mattcoats done on my Friedrichs + Emils!

    Edit:
    Wanted to go for Yellow 14 (Marseille) as suggested by Carl, but the decal pack didnt have it so I went for the closest (Yellow12)

    Default WGS Battle of Britain - 1/200 Squadron Pack 9.JG26 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3s

    Picked up my latest batch of Battle of Britain squadron packs today (2 109s, 2 Spits) and decided to deviate from the supplied decals. My existing Bf 109E-4s of Adolf Galland and Walter Horten needed another Rotte, so I chose to finish these two 109E-3s as 9.Staffel, III./JG26.

    These miniatures required no repainting, only the application of 9.JG26 decals - the Schlageter crest, red 'Hellhound' symbol and the yellow numbers and bars. The decals are Goblin Factory.

    Reference material indicated that Hauptmann Galland often flew into combat with 9.Staffel, so much so that at one point in August 1940 he had the red 'Hellhound' emblem painted on the fuselage of his own 'Stabschwarm' aircraft.

    Yellow 10 was flown by Oberleutnant Wilhelm Fronhöfer, who was credited with three victories from May to August 1940. On 31 August 1940 Oblt. Fronhöfer was himself shot down over England by Pilot Officer Colin Gray of 54 Squadron RAF, spending the rest of the war in captivity.

    Thanks Barry. I have decals left over to do a few more 9.JG26 Emils but I'm up to 20 now and even I am starting to wonder how many is too many!

    Of course I will need just a few more to repaint in North African colours, but I need to make sure I don't buy EVERY 109 shipped to Australia.

    I'm afraid that the Goblin Factory decals have gone out of production, Rob; your best bet is to check with Dave Schmid at Armaments in Miniature to see if he still has any in stock.

    Sorry, Carl.

    I redid the cards, to match the 92 Sqn Spitfire format. Now the Bf-109 card backs have the pilot info, too.

    Bf 109 is the most produced fighter in history. And naturally the most often painted model in the Aerodrome community.
    Here are my two Fs and two Gs. AIR 200 miniatures.
    For all of them I also made cards, which you can find in the Files section.

    A very nice change from the usual camo.

    Thats it - something unusual. I wanted them to be well distinguishable for playing.

    Plane on the right, in the first image, is an interesting camo scheme. I checked the cards, but the pilot/unit wasn't included. I found that the plane was a Bf 109 F-4, flown by Ofw Eberhard von Boremski, 9./JG 3, May 1942.

    I really like the plane, and the card. Very nice work!

    It's been almost 3 years since the last Bf 109 show here - how come, pilots? That is why I decided to finally finish my long term project and post pics taken right today.
    Below you can see three 1:200 minis by AIM painted in a standard RLM 74/75/76 camo scheme with JG 53 insignia.
    Some masking and airbrushing plus decals and they are ready to fly. G6 version, cards in Hungarian colours (I had only those ones - never mind, stats are what really counts).

    Thanks for all your comments, chaps.
    But you know, when I stirr the paints and turn on my spraygun stuff it'd be stupid to stop after 3 minis...
    So there are 4 more G 6/10 painted and decaled in Minor Axis colours waiting to be showed. One has just been sent to Keith for some obvious reason. The rest of the squad will be posted one day....

    Ok Andy, you lit a fire under my *ss. I spent all today finishing up my 109E schwarm of 9/JG26. Decals by Miscmini. I also ordered some Fs and Gs! Thanks Andy.

    I had a Galland with a broken propeller blade and replaced it with one of Keith's spinning props. Liked the look so did the rest.
