This is Tamiya's 1/48 Bf.109E-4/7
kit built OOB and shown in the markings of a tropicalized aircraft stationed in
North Africa in 1941. The camouflage is RLM 78/79/80 airbrushed freehand
using Polly Scale acrylics and a Paasche VL airbrush. The tires were
painted RLM 66, the propeller RLM 70, and the spinner and theatre band white.

This kit
goes together very well, but be careful with the positioning of the horizontal
stabilizers on the tail. Attach the braces after the stabilizers have been
lined up properly. If you rely on the braces to determine the position of
the stabilizers, the stabilizers will droop (trust me!).
