This is my second Luftwaffe aircraft model, again an Academy kit, and again a very fun build. These kits are great for practicing airbrushing skills! I had a lot of fun with the painting part.

I built this kit straight from the box, and I think the detail on it is OK, except that the panel lines are a bit shallow. Other than that, it was a fun and trouble-free build.

For the paint scheme, it's the standard RLM 74/75/76, in PollyScale colours. The decals used were the EagleCals #41, Bf 109G-6's. I used the 'Yellow 6' markings. One part where I screwed up is the white spiral on the spinner. I just couldn't get it straight, and ended up breaking it. So I hand-painted the spiral, which looks bad.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the build.
