Hermann Graf have red tulip on his Bf 109G, if I can remember correctly.

You're right.

Never seen this K-4 and I am curious to know more. Is it Harman machine black or red tulip?

Hartmann's tulip is black. That's the color he adopted on the F-86s of his Bundes Luftwaffe JG 71 of which he has been the Kommodore.

It seems the red (?) tulips adorned many planes of Deutsch Brod airfield only.

That is a beauty!!! I tried to build one of these many years ago but didn't get very far--knowing the kit you started with makes the results even more impressive.

Thank you very much, Second Air Force.
It's a mix of two Lindberg kits in 1/48 scale. I'll never do another one... even if I had the project to build the single-finned version.

Yes, I've never done one of these with the tulip nose markings and we're happy to watch your progress!

Hi

There is Bf 109 K-4 belonging to the JG 52 with a red (?) tulip. In any case, not black.

A task taking a long time but the result will be very good, I'm sure.

Wait... you have make this incredible metal finish by hand brush?

Hi,

Yes, by hand-brushing with Humbrol Metalcote "Polished aluminium". The kit was finished in March 1999 and all along this long time the metal became a little oxydized.

Okay, I should carry forward on this one, I reckon!

... and deciding to step away for a few weeks, that turned into years........

My longest buildind of a kit was the XF-91 Thunderceptor in 1/48 scale... I had to mix two kits to obtain an acceptable model. From the beginning to the end, almost 20 years elapsed... Yes, you have read well : twenty years. The most difficult was to find documents. That was a time without the internet.

Hi mate,

The front glass of the Revi 16 B (it seems it's a Revi 12 on your kit) was actually a tinted sun glass.
