Spanish Civil War Bf-109B-2 and E-3
Note the modification on the control stick of the B-2
Cut line for the transformation
chopped
Designed nose to convert the E-1 to B-2
First print sample... Need some corrections
the biggest problem is a big gap in the lower part, where the radiator exit
great details
Oil cooler
Under wing radiator delete with a bit of plasticard
oil cooler in place
riveted and painted in grey to unify
Mask to enhance the surface of the control surfaces
Ruder ready
note the difference
Final nose
Great fit but needed a bit of putty on the wing roots
and in the lower part
Easy job!
enhanced tail surfaces
Final version of the flap and ailerons
Nice Fg's on the wingsy kits set
ready for paint
I made my own masks
Marbling time RLM65 underside
finished texture
a bit of origami masking on top
I have chosen this paintjob for the B-2 as it is quite nice to see... the colours maybe are not exact but with the photos fo these days and some info I opted for a RLM70 RLM63 tones
Those are my references
At first the 6 O 51, muy election
All the markings painted
The intake scoop painted in the darker camo, like in the photo of reference
Nice detail obtained with the resin print
Bothe models completely painted, ready for decals
Gloss varnish applied
Let it rest for a couple of days to let the varnish dry completely
completely decaled
really good looking! now time for some washes!
the B2 completed decals
both ready for varnish and panel liner.... and another cousin of both ready to be decaled to

Jorge MedinaThanks John! In my opinion is a good kit except for the lack of detail in the control surfaces that is easily fixed with Quinta studio 3d decals or with some masks and paint to create the details. All the rest is really good. Nice rivetting and panel lines and also very good fit.
