Trumpeter 1/32 Bf 109E

By Denis Joseph

I'd like to introduce you to Trumpy's 1/32 BF 109 E, a gift from my son Alexis. Thank you, Alexis!

I decided to do a rather original camouflage, that of Paul Steindl, Stab II./JG54, over the Balkans, 1941. You don't often see this one done and it gave me some trouble!


In the end, this camouflage highlights the plane's shape, and yellow really suits it!

I made the masks myself for the 6 Balkan Kreuz, the 2 swastikas, the '<∣', the 'n°5' and the 'white head' in profile under the cockpit.

The JG54 badge was made with a laser printer and white decal paper.

For more information on the construction and painting, check out my build thread in the Work in Progress forum.
