Today we're building the new dual boxing of Tamiya's awesome BF-109. I had to overcome a few challenges and figure out how to do the weathering, but I hope you enjoy the result— I definitely did.

Really nice video, after watching your video I felt like making my Tamiya BF-109 🙂. Thanks for the great advice in the video. Peace from Sydney Australia.

I just bought an older Tamiya version of the BF-109. Thank you for a very useful video!

Great build, i might have to dig this out of the stash for a go. Tamiya has a new late model version of this kit available now as well.

I built this kit a few years ago when it first came out. After watching your video, I plan on building it again using your techniques. Nicely done!

Nice video...without too many frills, just how I like them...and excellent result! I also have a Hasegawa Bf 109 G6 which I will start soon. I intend to further detail the model with riveting and photo-etching... it's the first time 🤞🏻. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of your videos.

Really nice build and weathering, but what happened to the landing gear?.....it is normally painted in RLM 02 inside 😅

Nice video. Great build. That kit looks good. I have a Revell of that aircraft. Looking forward to doing it with the technique You showed. Thank You for sharing.
