Nice job ! Luftwaffe camo can be difficult in any scale. Looks like you have no problems with the hardest, 1/72. Did you free hand the wing camo also? Looks good !

I did freehand the wing camo, Pix, it wasn't the sharp splinter scheme I'm used to doing.

Thanks, Dan

Hey boybud,
Great job my friend..!!!! What ratio of paint to thinner did you use for the motling on the sides of the fuselage??

Mike, I used 2/3 paint to 1/3 thinner and used 20 psi with my Badger Crescendo.

Thanks John, I think smaller is sometimes easier to paint!

I have a few , Obiwan, ( Judy seaplane, Avenger, another Me 109, and a P40N )that I want to between the larger builds.

Sphealey, I had to adjust the airbrush, opening up the nozzle and spraying on cardboard, then readjusting til I got the size I wanted. I had to do this a couple of times to keep the camo dots the same size.

Regards, Dan
