Hey Bish... What I'm going to try is what they called "crazy roadmap" camo. This will be a bird from the Balkan Campaign of 1941. She (yellow 4) was part of II/staffel-Jg54. I tried to find a pilot but with my limited library I was un able to put one with her.
This picture was of a 4/staffel unit and mine will have yellow nose, tail fin, and accents on the under wind tips.

Nice progress, Jay!
Greg. Good idea! I have often thought of doing multiple kits at the same time. It would work best if they were similar, or same models. It would save paint too! I suppose the key would be organization.

From a few days back......
Raven728 I had planned to finish my current Stuka build before starting this one, but you guys are killing my resolve.

I'm having the same thoughts.
Doing some catching up, man, there's some great work going on here. My apologies to all for not participating as I should. Perhaps breaking my rule and trying two at once might be in order.
Thanks, fellows. I do use masks for the wings typically. I cut them from scrap paper and keep them just off the surface so there is a somewhat soft line. Had some issues with the white, but I think I've got something I can work with. This scheme is for Max-Helmuth Ostermann.

The Mighty Mo says no.
Great looking mottling indeed, Jay.
That mottling looks amazing indeed, Jay! One sided winter camo? Definitely sounds interesting!
Jay, very precise freehand airbrushing, that looks wonderful! Great progress, it's amazing to see the model come to life this way!

Great mottling. Can't wait to see other side
And on to the 74. Things are going smoothly today.
Next up is the 75. Found that I hadn't cleaned, or even emptied my airbrush from the 76 last night. No problem with Mr. Color. Just added the 75 to the 76 and it sprayed fine. The scheme I am am doing has winter camo on the left side so only mottled the right.
Looks nice Doug. Can't wait to see that splinter camo.
On the bench:
A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!

Looking good there Doug. I do like those early war schemes. Will this one have mottling over the blue sides or not.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Since today may turn out to be a tad hectic, I tried to get some more done... stayed up until 2:30 working on it.
OK... Shes up on her feet.
And the 76 is on...
And the 75 is on...
Next will be the 74 splinter when these coats dry up good. Take care all.
Good looking build Jay ! I don't mind the Lacquer smell either, and it dries so fast.
Looking near the finish line already Tuco !! Nice paint work!
Looking good, Jay! I agree on Mr.Color paints being great. I'm fortunate enough to have access to their acrylic line, so I don't really have the smell issues and they really do spray beautifully. I only use Tamiya paints for the few colors that aren't in the Mr.Hobby lineup...
Thanks, guys. I do love Mr. Color. Best paint out there IMHO. I would use Mr. Hobby as well if it were available. Personally I like the smell of lacquer, maybe that's just me.
Very nice Jay. I am assuming you are a big fan of Mr Color. I've been thinking about trying it. Still wish mr hobby aqueous was available in the states. Loved that stuff. Just very difficult to get now
Nice work there Jay.
Thanks, Tom. Kept on going tonight and sprayed the 76. You can mask over Mr. Color almost immediately without fear of paint coming off.
Looking really good there, Jay. I can't wait to see the end result. You're almost there!
Moving along, I have primered it with Mr. Surfacer 1200 and preshaded with black. I am not what you would call a precision preshader as you can see. Followed with the 04 panels which will then be masked. Just tacked on a spare canopy lightly to keep paint out.
Thank you all again for the very kind words...
Handi, It aint easy trying to keep up with you and Herman! LOL... But I'm trying.
Allen, You flatter me my friend... Really, I just try to watch, read, and learn something new every time I build, and try to do each just a bit better then the one before. Alas, sometimes it doesn't work that way, But I try. I know you do too, I've seen your skills growing, and always enjoy seeing the end results!
I was chatting with Jester once, and told him what a fan of his paint work I was, He said kinda surprised, Really... I'm a fan of yours too... So keep up the good stuff and don't quit trying to improve! We all try hard and learn from each other... Take care!
John: Some nice looking progress on your little G-6!
Handi: Now that's an awesome looking cokpit! I love your attention to detail!
Doug: Seems like you're making a lot of progress on that 109! The engine looks great!
Tom: Looks great! With the fuselage glued together those kits actually start looking like aircraft.
Steve: Your Avia turned out very nicely! That base looks great as well!
Mike: I like the look of those two 109s next to each other. Some nice, clean work you got going there!
Allen, I can only assume USPS must be going slow. Mine was posted at the same time and arrived over a week ago, and it shipped from the US.
Steve, lovely work on the Aviva, really nice base as well.
Nice Avia Steve.
Doug. I'm speechless.....well maybe not but wow
Wow! It would take a page on its own to comment on all of the builds in here so far - really nice stuff.
Steve - That Avia is very nice and like Mustang, I never new of them until this build so thanks for the enlightenment.
Doug - I really enjoy following your work. Always open panels and great displays. Very motivational for me to work on my skills.
I'm itching to start mine after following along for the past two weeks. I wanted to wait until my mug arrived (thanks for the template Clemens! ) but Zazzle must have shipped by mule. It shipped out on the 2nd, and the mailbox is still empty. Oh well I guess I'll get at it without the mug for now.
This GB (like the 190) is going to be easy to get behind in. You turn your back for a day and 4 new pages pop up! Speaks to the quality of GB that Mustang organizes.
Allen
Well done, Steve! Cranked that one right out!
Looks like your almost to painting, there Rigid.
Yeah, 'Stang. That Tamiya stand is pretty cool. Not very expensive and pretty versatile. It beats the old box I had been using!
Vance! Glad to see you throw your hat in sir! Rigid that is one fine looking bird! Modelcrazy building 109's is like eating potato chips. You can't stop at one. Hope to see more from you.
