Bf109 F »Fallen Eagle« | Part Five

Some work on the study: I added a
first generation or layer of oil stains.

Oil stains were done with a mixture of future and
Modelmates oilbrown. Some corrections are still necessary...

The oil stains were applied by brush.

Not much progress on Friedrich, but I
started the diorama. A first test fitting
of the model and its base

The diorama will show Friedrich the next morning
after its crash landing.

The first hoarfrost of a late autumn night in 1941
covers the high grass.

The high grass is natural grass
from MK35 (A039).

The ground work was done with floral foam
coverd with white glue and pigments.

Hoarfrost was done with Gunze flat clear varnish,
Tamiya flat base and cellulose thinner.

Spinner is from DEPARTMENT of CORRECTION,
a very nice product.

Exhaust stains and wingroot weathering

I applied oil stains using ivory black, raw umber and
AK Fuel stains and added some white spirit. This was
applied to panelline and along grooves and screws.
Finally I sprinkled it on and let it dry over night.

I airbrushed the first layer of exhaust stains using
Tamiya acrylics (buff, brown, Black) and
denatured alcohol.

After a few minutes I removed some of these stains,
added scrachtes and blemishes.

The final layer of exhaust stains used the same
mixture as above, but this time I added some
MODEL MATES Oilbrown. This is a great
product but it is water soluable. I added
just as much of it to the acrylic mix to keep the
mixture water proof.

Finally I added another layer of scrachtes and blemishes.

Bf109 F »Fallen Eagle« | Part One

I started another Bf109 last week for another dorama of a crased Bf109.I use the Hasegawa Bf109F kit in 1/32nd scale.

I used RLM colors mixed to the color chart developed by Jürgen Kiroff, distirbuted by TORSO, Germany.

Yesterday I started the weathering of the Friedrich. I will look dusty and dirty!

Here are some snap shorts.
