Beautiful Frederich Hoss.  Can't go wrong with the Star of Afrika's machine. He's on my future build list too.

Thanks LD. This was actually my first Luftwaffe desert scheme. I figured I might was well start with one of the yellow 14 109's. 

So, as usual, pure awesomeness. You've got great build quality, near flawless painting and weathering as well as some damn fine photography to make it all the more interesting to look at. Really the next level I'd like to reach. 

Do you use a pin wash or the like on the canopy as well? You know, to accentuate the sliding portions that are otherwise not painted?

Thanks Dave! Much appreciated. 

Yes, I did add a pin wash to highlight the unpainted edges of the sliding windows. In this case I think it was thinned black acrylic paint. Hope that helps. Thanks again. 

Absolutely stunning work!  The colors and weathering really make this kit stand out.  Well done.

Great work. I love the scheme too. I always thought this was a very good looking 109.

Forgot to ask - which colour mix did you use for the exhaust stains? I am soon to begin working on 1/32 Marseille's bird hence the question. :)

Hi Nikola - For the exhaust stains I used Tamiya acrylic flat black and red brown in various ratios with about 90% thinner. I started with 1:1 for the main stain areas, more brown on the edges and then more black in the center. Hope that helps.
