Posted October 31, 2024Oct 31 Here is a Messerschmitt bf109 directly inspired from a real model from WW2. All bricks are genuine Lego. Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 by Veynom, on Flickr Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 by Veynom, on Flickr This is a G-6 sub-version as piloted by Gruppenkommandeur Friedrich-Karl "Nasen" Müller". Nasen was a nightfighter pilot who survived the war with over 30 confirmed victories. My model depicts his G-6 from Summer 1944. Here is below a comparison between a real drawing from his fighter and my creation. Btw, the G version was nicknamed Gustav. You may detect 2 differences between the above pictures and the below ones ... answer at the end. Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 by Veynom, on Flickr I had to make hard choices for the color section but ultimately, I decided to use LBG, DBG, dark green (I would have preferred a dark dark green) and black for the underside. Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6/As by Veynom, on Flickr Decals are custom and come from AIMS for 1/32 scale models, except for the propeller nose where I cut some Lego sticker sheet.

Doing nice camo with bricks remains a challenge, particularly dependant on available colors and shape. But I've hope for the future as TLC just released a part matching perfectly the bf109 nose ... About the 2 differences: The G version has no support for the rear wings ... I had incorrectly mounted 2 antennas like in the E version (Emil). In my final version, I made the canopy longer by 1 stud. The top bars are therefore 5-stud long (from cut hoses), instead of 4. It better match the pictures. The comparative picture still have the 4-stud long canopy. Hope you like it ...
October 31, 2024Oct 31 Well built. You captured the lines and decals well from the source materials. Thanks for including those. NPU on the tail wheel. The field diorama is a good addition to it too.
November 2, 2024Nov 2 The building techniques you used in this build are outstanding. You did well with capturing the aircraft's shape at such a small scale I also like those spruce trees very much!
