Hi All,
This is my entry into the GB. The Airfix 1/72 Bf 109 G-6
The Plan
To build the kit pretty much OOB, might add some seat belts to it. This kit has no cockpit; I will not add one either. I will keep this build simple. I will try out two new things with this model. I will paint it in the German scheme shown - though I might not attempt the spotted camo.
So this project will serve to test out the above two purposes. Once the build is complete I will try out making a video with the model spinning on a turntable and see how I go!

The Chosen Paint Scheme
I made a copy of one of the pages and tore the paint scheme page off, then put all the pages on the wall

- First I will use Future Floor polish as a clear coat, and then conduct a panel line wash with Tamiya Panel line wash after the clear coat. It may seem strange but I have never weathered a model after gloss coating it, as I paint with enamels, I usually use acrylic washes over the enamel paint - this does damage the paint sometimes - thus I am trying this method.
- Second I will try out building a kit with mainly Humbrol paints, I have decided to start moving my paint collection (from Tamiya enamels) over to Humbrol, but before I do that I want to see if they are as good as the Tamiya Enamels (especially the gloss ones).
So this project will serve to test out the above two purposes. Once the build is complete I will try out making a video with the model spinning on a turntable and see how I go!
