Hello!
 
This is my 1:48th scale Hasegawa Bf-109G-10 in RAF markings.  First off I should admit that I am inspired by Dear Tolga Ulgur's sharp looking Me109 'white 44' ( http://ozkanturker.brinkster.net/Galeri/me109g10/index.htm) I had decided to build an entirely RLM 76  Bf-109G-10, but while I was seeking info on RLM6 painted Gustavs, I found out that Tolga Ulgur's white 44 was taken to the UK after the war and tested.

So I decided to build that captured White 44 in RAF markings and put it beside my 1:32 Captured He-162 in RAF colors.  After I completed the model with Modelmaster RLM76 in German markings, I found some surplus RAF markings from my existing Cutting Edge and Airfix decal sheets.  I applied roundels over Balkankreuzs and British 3 color tail sign over swastikas.  Than I washed the plane with raw amber oil paint.  On a picture that I found, engine covers seemed a bit more worn than rest of plane, so I sprayed some Tamiya smoke over the panel lines on the fore side of aircraft.  I finished the plane with Modelmaster matt coat and made the antenna wire from stretched sprue.

At end of my article, I would like send my regards to Tolga Ulgur who gave me that idea, my dear friend Thanos from Greece and my Brother  Emad Tabsh from Lebanon!
 
Happy modelling!
