Beacon have an 'expert painting tips' guide; I am not at all an expert but it was fun to follow and gave me some good ideas that I think helped raise the end result for me...

I wanted to do the planes in flight, so I bought the pilot 3d files and a friend printed them for me. They are so tiny I painted them in bright colours for more visibility (and fun)

The masks are tiny and a little fiddly but worth the effort and not as mind-boggling as I feared to apply...

They are so tiny, but once I started painting them I really got into it.

I decided I didn't want to do the bf-109 as per the kit, so I bought the extra decals Beacon offer and used a scheme from an Eduard kit for more fun

I'm pleased with these, they were fun to do, they look good and they don't take up much space. I am going to add them to a pair of Airfix 1:72 equivalents, will add a photo once I've done that...

Tricky to get them all in focus, so I've done one on the BF109s and one on the Spitfires...

I tried hard to make these look scuzzy and dirty without going over the top. I am only learning, so I am keen to strike a decent balance. The bigger Spitfire and Bf109 are amongst the first kits I ever made, so the difference is also fun to notice...
