I personally think it misses the Hakenkreuz on the tail, no political message, just for historical accuracy. Very pleased with your weathering, I would enjoy other videos from you on this topic .
Great demonstration! I'm planning on working on this model next and your video gave me a great intro into how I should approach it - especially considering that I hand brush paint as well.
Iam also use in the past primar on brush but not with lacquer thinner because i don't have it at that time and amazing job on this bg-109 very nice camo too good job my friend
No problem. Brush painting can be tricky at times with certain models. And It is more satisfying to brush paint, compared to using an airbrush. Based on what I’ve heard from the community. But I can’t really have too much of say on the matter, since I’ve never used an airbrush lol. Thank you. :-)
I personally like the allied planes more, but the 109 was a fierce competitor, nice build. On a side note, you might need to turn up the audio, it was a little hard to hear you.
You did an incredible job building and brush painting this model. Don’t get me wrong. The finished model is absolutely stunning. But why didn’t you include the process when it came to how you brush painted the cockpit?
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I only chose not to show the cockpit process because there was barely any detail and I personally didn’t think it was worth including in the video. But I understand your feedback.
My very first model was a Heller 109F, trop. I was a kid, so it was more of a toy, but I have always been a bit obssessive with details, perhaps. But can a modeller be too obssessive? Perhaps. Very nice techniques and detail level for such a small airplane, which takes the difficulty level up, for sure. But its not unoften for me to see great modellers commit some basic mistakes, and also perhaps even the kit makers do it, for we can see in the box art, that the air intake for the engine, on the left side of the fuselage, has a cover, which I only saw on museum exemplars, but never seen it on WW2 footage or pictures, anyways my guess is that it was used while on the ground, as to avoid dirt and dust from ruining the engine from inside out, and BTW, you put its supports pointing outwards, 180 degrees from the proper position. IDK for others, but for me the research is like one of my favourite parts of scale modelling, some people seem to get their buzz more from getting their hands dirty perhaps. Nice job anyways! The obsession is mine, lucky you! Lol!
Hah thank you for the feedback. I’m far from reaching the level of a true rivet counter, or someone who has far greater knowledge of WW2 aircraft for example. But overtime I know I’ll be adding more detail’s compared to how I build my models now. Again thanks for the useful info my friend. :)
@@Modkits131 This is not rivet counting, lets be fair. I am well sure the instructions don't tell one to mount it that way, so IMHO thats a bit like... a little disattention? Kinda like putting a radial engine upside down or so and only realizing after its too late? My cousin was a great modeller, he did that all the time. He had a fantastic collection, but he simply ignored the instructions at all.
Hey buddy how u doing? You won't believe, just by chance the other day I saw a video which explains how the Tropical 109s filter actually works. The Germans are indeed very ingenious, there is a command in the cockpit and the pilot himself is able to open and close the frontal intake for the engine, while the sleeve is actually a grid, so it avoids the biggest rocks and chunks of grass and dirt during take offs and landings, by breathing through the grid, it should lose some poneys but it was good for the engine. The frontal 'Trop' intake opens and closes like a clam shell, I never flew a warbird, but as a pilot I have always been curious about such things. The mystery is over. A very similar concept is seen on helicopters nowadays, like the Apache, black/seahawk series, Russian Hinds and Kamovs, and many others.
I’m doing good thank you, hope your feeling the same. But wow, this is some very helpful German aircraft info. I appreciate you sharing this with me and improves upon my aircraft knowledge which is already obviously enough, very little.
Your right about it not being rivet counting. I only referred to a certain level of rivet counting in the future of my scale modeling career. To where I’m more experienced, not in which you were explaining in your first comment. Sorry if there was some confusion. That’s my fault. But I understand that simple mistakes can easily happen when you don’t pay attention or read the instructions properly. Lol sounds like me and your cousin can relate to skipping the instructions. For me I sometimes misread a description and get confused on how I screwed up. From the sounds of it, he had great fun building n’ painting his models.
That’s interesting, it’s most likely Academy obtained the same model from Revell. As the Academy company also has other kits from other model companies that have gone out of business. Thank you.
Great work, interesting topic! I think you could have added more, smaller dots below the green near the canopy right above the wings, but that’s not really an issue!
I love to watch models painted by brush...and not by airbrush. Thanks for sharing this video and your tips
Amazing work sir! I recently found your channel and I'm so glad I did!
I'm definitely going to apply some of your techniques to improve my use of brushes and acrylics.

Great work, especially in this small scale. Very nice result with this Messerschmitt Bf109.
Nice to see. Greetings, Joachim
Great demonstration! I'm planning on working on this model next and your video gave me a great intro into how I should approach it - especially considering that I hand brush paint as well.
I have the airfix bf109 in 1/72 scale. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours! Great job, thanks for sharing your hobby.
finally, i have waited for this so long!!!! thanks modkits for the quality uploads!!! :D
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the aircraft model and video. Especially since I hardly do any aircraft models. But expect more in the future. :)
I like the way what seemed at the start a sloppy paint job resulted giving in the end a fine realistic worn effect!
Cute plane model nice work 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man. :)
Work well done, as always!
Iam also use in the past primar on brush but not with lacquer thinner because i don't have it at that time and amazing job on this bg-109 very nice camo too good job my friend
Truly superb, impressive technique!! 😍😍
An amazing finish, just using brushes too!
Thanks for this video it's hard to find decent brush demos as I don't own an airbrush or want to as I think there's something nice about hand painted

For me the audio is ok

Very interesting chipping,Great work!
Thank you. I rarely do any aircraft, but painting and weathering it was an exciting project for me. :)
Very beautiful! I hope I can try to implement some of the things you did with this model on my FW190D
Dude, you are so close to 1k
Is there anything you can do to fix the paint on a model once it is on?
You can use rubbing alcohol or other paint removing products that help remove acrylic paints. :)
Revel paint remover
Wonderful

That kit is the exact same as the Revell kit I got, the only difference being the 20mm gun pods
That’s interesting, it’s most likely Academy obtained the same model from Revell. As the Academy company also has other kits from other model companies that have gone out of business. Thank you.
What do you use to wipe away the wash near the end ? Thanks
Just water :)
Can i ask about the paint and thinner ratio when you are doing the camo?
Typically 7 drops of paint to 1 drop of water. :)
Thank you lad
👍
Great work, interesting topic! I think you could have added more, smaller dots below the green near the canopy right above the wings, but that’s not really an issue!
Just figured out your pfp isn’t your work, Adam Wilder posted it on Instagram…
Yeah some people don’t know that it’s his E-50. Funny. :)
Best painting brush, im starting today thx for the help subscribers end like 🥳 Poland
It’s always great to hear someone enjoying my videos from Poland. Thank you. :)
