Waitin for the Master cannons to arrive. Otherwise it's oob with the Airfix decals, selfmade harnesses and brake lines. Just a funny lil'thing.

Black base colour, white mottling. Lightened RLM 78 1941 for the undersides. AK RC RLM 79 1941 was way too orange, so I mixed it with CARC tan and some drops of brown. RLM 80 was fine and sprayed highly thinned free hand. Black-brown washing over Gauzy clear, some pastels, UvdR fine rigging and Humbrol flat cote. The aircraft was in good shape on the pics I could refer to, so no need for scratches and big exhaust stains.

Sieht gut aus, aber mach mal ruhig die Fotos ein bisschen heller 🙂
Paar zusätzliche Leuchten seitlich frontal und die 109 wird richtig zur Geltung kommen 👍

Thank you mates for your kind comments! The mottling was done with a Harder & Steenbeck Evolution using a 0,15mm nozzle. Paint/thinner ratio was probably 30/70 with 0,8bar/12psi. I must admit, my hand felt pretty cramped afterwards. Now I'm not afraid anymore of the 1/32nd scale mottling on my G-6 model that still waits on the desk to be painted. 🙂

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it. I received the AZ -Model F-4 yesterday and at first sight it is even better than the ICM series, although these are already very nice models. Aside from some fit issues with the cowling I enjoyed building it a lot and can highly recommend them. Same for the perfect Airfix decals by the way!
