BetterTimes-HenryThanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Any feedback, please. Does anything look strange? Just let me know. I am still very much a learner with 1:48th scale aircraft. I usually do 1:35th scale armour.

BetterTimes-HenryThe radio antenna is made from AK Interactive 1/48 rigging, very thin copper wire wound up to look like a spring (a bit too thick I think, but I could not get thinner copper wire), then a 2 mm hole punch on thin copper sheet (moulded into a cone over a rounded tooth pick) and finally super glue dabbed on rigging (4-5 times top and bottom) until it was big enough (painted in AK cremeweiss colour). The entry into fuselage was made from spare ABER M50 Super Sherman 35034 brass metal set - small part just look like the right shape ... LOL pure guess 🙂

CaptGPFI thought the weathering was done right - especially around the cockpit area where it would see a lot of it from the opening and closing.

BetterTimes-HenryThank you CaptGPF, Vincent and J35J for your kind words of encouragement. Very much appreciated ☺️

Spanjaardabout the weathering, it is at the end a personal choice, some people like models like new, some like they have been years under harsh conditions.... yours look really good to me. but at the end, it is your own opinion what counts 😉
the antenna is fantastic, i need to copy that when i do my 109

BetterTimes-HenryThank you Spanjaard for your kind words. The small cone on the antenna I made from copper sheet that I molded over a tooth pick was a little hard to control. I've seen another modeller use a small rod which he sharpened into a cone then drilled a hole thru it, I thank that may be easier and I'll try that next time.

CaptGPFBeautiful build - love the subtle shading and the color modulation within the camo

BetterTimes-HenryThanks CaptGPF. Still very much learning and trying things out. I think that I
I mainly learn from making mistakes😩. For example the soft edges between the camo colours were not strictly airbrushed at 90 degrees to surface. It's noticeable in a couple of places.

Mr DHi Henry,
What was your process after clear coat ??
I want to give my current build a bit of paint detail....as I've just straight painted my models up to now.
And like how yours is done
😃👍👍

BetterTimes-HenryHi Mr D. Before clear coat, I did a little post shading with slightly lighter colours in middle of the panels, just a small amount with low pressure air brush and more thinned paint. After clear coat I used Flory Models.co.uk weathering wash for panel lines. You can also use AK Interactive or Tamiya panel line washes they too work great. Flory is clay based and allows me to control the level of wash I leave on the panel themselves, not just in the panel lines. Once dry, model gets a Matt coat. Then I use some oils to add weathering in highly used areas of upper surfaces and dirt/mud/ dust near wheels on lower surfaces. I use thinner just damp brush to blend in. I find Matt "grips" the blended oils better. Hope that is of some help Mr D. Note, I'm still very much learning each new model that I tackle.
