Application and Compatibility
Techmod decals are compatible with plastic model kits of the Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-4 in 1/72 scale from various manufacturers. For optimal application results, it is recommended to use specialized decal solutions (e.g., softening and setting), which facilitate precise conformity of the markings to the model's irregular surfaces. These solutions are available in the Model Chemicals section.
This product serves as an excellent complement for a wide range of detailing accessories, such as photo-etched parts, resin parts, painting masks, or pilot figures. This allows for the creation of a comprehensive and detailed historical replica, tailored to the modeler's individual preferences.
Recommended Model Paint Colors (Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-4, Battle of Britain period)
While the decals themselves do not require specific paints, for the base painting of the Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-4 model from the period to which the Techmod markings refer, Luftwaffe camouflage schemes were commonly used. Recommended base colors (RLM - Reichsluftfahrtministerium equivalents) are:
Upper fuselage and wing surfaces: RLM 71 Dunkelgrün (dark green) and RLM 02 Grau (gray).
Lower fuselage and wing surfaces: RLM 65 Hellblau (light blue).
Many model paint manufacturers offer precise equivalents of these colors, which will allow for a faithful reproduction of the aircraft's historical appearance.
