Congrats Pasi!

One colour camouflage is indeed hard to achieve without being either boring or unrealistic.
I think your Mossi is none of the above and as for the tires perhaps a wash and some pigments using the right shades will break the spell.

Cheers

Hi mates,
more progress last night with my 109


still some painting to do before the decals...
Good luck for everyone
P.S.
It was the first time I used the (included) masks for the unusual German crosses and they worked quite well.

Nice work Daniel!

Now I'm calling this one done.

just some knobs and braces to complete 100%, but since it's 99% completed its fine by me to wrap it up.

I know the photos are lame, but its the best I can produce at the moment. Perhaps later on I'll grab some pics under much better settings.

Wonderful kit, Tamiya standards are all here, painted mostly with AK Japanese color set (nice shades but not so good to airbrush) and also Tamiya brand.
Eduard PE for the cockpit mainly, and also their masks for canopy and all markings (all but those tiny #76 and 176...those are decals). Also Quickboost cannons were used.

Hope you enjoy!













P.S. photos uploaded in the gallery, but it seems the campaign still has no banner???

Looks very cool already, Daniel!

My Messerschmitt Nightfighter is ready. A few minutes ago I put the final photos into the gallery.

Keep going mates!

Almost there, everyone!

I've been asked about a possible ribbon for this one. How does this look?

Looks good. With a lot of luck I can get my F6F painted today and possibly finished on time. But with only 4 nights left, it's gonna be tight.
