Masking the cam must have been a tedious job, especially as the plan must be really small.

I can't help myself seeing this faint line around the gun aperture. The clue of missing putty?
the upper camo scheme would have been better with some colour variations, like pre/post- shading. And when I see the job you did on the transport cart, I'm sure you can do it

Hi Lionel - You are correct I should have put more time into filling seems. I built this over a long weekend and did not spend too much time on build. Then I did the camouflage and it came out great! Isn't that the always the case. I can see your point about more color modulation. The model itself is only about 3.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide so it would have been a little hard to do. Maybe next time. I added some in process photos to show how the camo was taped. Thanks for your critique - it will make my next model better.

Album info

Built OOB using a Paul Allen "Luft 46" Profile of the Horten X as the idea for the painting of the "Splinter Stripes". Added seat belts and an instrument panel to the cockpit. Decals came from a generic Me-109 Eagle strike decal sheet and some scrap decals for the number and Squadron insignia.
