Famous ME-BF 109G - stopmotion assembling of Artesania Latina's 1/16 metal stripped model

First of all, a big thank you goes to my dear patreons:

Your support is really appreciated. Thank you very much, Tom
In 9 min. the Messerschmitt BF 109 G from Artesania Latina is assembled bit by bit in some stopmotion like interpretation according to Erick Miotkes inspiring music track "dawn epilogue".
The kit in scale 1/16 is a multimedia kit with metal, plastic and rubber parts electrified to move the propeller and light the dashboard and navigation lights. The paint used for this kit is from Alclad II - metallics and mil-specs.
#artesanialatina #alcladII
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft that was, along with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force. The Bf 109 first saw operational service in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II in 1945. It was one of the most advanced fighters when it first appeared, with an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. It was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine.It was called the Me 109 by Allied aircrew and some German aces, even though this was not the official German designation.

Older fellow like me have a special love for stop motion, we did not have CGI as kids, this peculiar motion is linked to precious childhood memories. Nice work BTW!

@@amyhogarten5038 Really. My comment was not meant to be criticism. If you build a scale model, would you not want to make it as accurate as you can? Hopefully this is information that Tom can use in his future builds to further advance his already capable skills.

🇦🇬 Great spot👍🏽. A bit turse. Much like this. No criticism here. A friendly observation. 🙏🏾

I don't even built metal planes and yet I sat here the length of the video and watched it all. Such a wonderful presentation of animation and skill. Wonderful work!

I don't think I've ever been as simultaneously impressed and anxious as watching this. The choreography and time is an immense effort.

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you

[@kevinm3751]

Came out awesome with the exception of one detail. You have the wing tip marker lights backwards. Red goes on the left and green on the right...;) Love that you share this stuff because it would be a cold day in hell that I paid the absurd price for anything Artesania Latina offers!

[@Praxics0815]

Side note: A properly black prop and spinner on a G where very rare. Almost all used RLM 70 which is a greenish black. The green navigation light is on the right, red is on the left.

WOW!!! This is really impressive! Nice video and fantastic model. Good work!

[@cycoholic]

Enchanting. My old man would have loved your videos. Not only was he a model maker, and used to fly model planes via control line back in the day, he served in WWII. He was an engine mechanic for the R.A.A.F, and was seconded to the R.A.F. So while he wouldn't have worked on one of these, he did work on Spitfires, among others. He also worked on the Catalina flying boats, both during and after the war. After the war he was part of the maintenance crew for the Catalinas that flew out of Rose Bay in Sydney for Qantas.

[@Erik_Taurus]

This is just crazy! Not only the model itself and the assembly of it but you did a stop-motion version! Wikipedia states that 167 BF109G-1 was built between February and June in 1942. On average they produced 8 per week during that period. This assembly took you six weeks.

[@kammer007]

[@perschiller7690]

I am now at the ending of building my Artesania messersmith! and are pleased to say that every part was present, and that it was great fun to build. there were a few small snags! but nothing more than I could handle! I somehow missed a printed asembly guide! instead of the cd rom, as I had no way of playing it. But i used my imagination, and the above stopmotion!! the quality was ecellent, But its a big bird!!, and I cannot yet find a place to put it! and I somehow feel lost! because Im finished! Anyhow It was one of my best Cristmas!

Very cool - the wingtip navigation lights are backwards, though. Starboard should be green, and port red. This is the worldwide standard for ships and aircraft.
