Hasegawa's 1/32 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 is available online
from Squadron.com
Here are two pictures of Bf109 G-6, 1/32 Hasegawa,
modeled by Jerry Crandall of "Yellow 7" 9./JG 3 "Udet" Die Augen Staffel
(Eye Squadron). The model was completed with the addition of the Eagle
Parts replacement resin spinner.
Jerry notes: "I was very interested in building this
model and trying out our decals because of the challenge of the large
yellow eyeball over the machine gun bulges. The way I would suggest
accomplishing this would be to build the model without the bulges,
applying the yellow decal to the correct position, then glue the yellow
bulges into position which would require using a small strip of the
black outline supplied separately to complete the eyeball with the black
outline."
"My first attempt was to use the decal over the attached machine gun
bulges which was a disaster! So I had to cut a mask using our black
outline as a guide and then painting the entire area yellow, then I cut
the black outline into two pieces (upper and lower section) and applied
them over the yellow paint. Not for the faint of heart, but it can be
done! I was happy with the way this colorful, almost bizarre, marking
turned out. I photographed the completed model on Dave Schemel's Just
Plane Stuff new 1/32 Luftwaffe hardstand and it is an excellent way to
display models. The way he produced it is very clever and innovative.
Highly recommended!"
