Because the kit always looks so angry when I walk past, I decided to continue here 😄

Hi Christoph!
Sorry, ich habe deinen Kommentar irgendwie komplett übersehen 🙁
Das Projekt hatte ein bisschen Pause wegen dem F-14 GB... Aber jetzt hoffe ich, dass ich die Maschine zeitnah fertig bekomme 😄

"And now, to something completely different..." 👍
Taking a place in front of the stage, ready to start some head-banging!😉

Welcome mates, nice to have you abord 👍
Steve Harris was my greatest „idol" and influence as a Bass player (long time ago). So, the band has been with me my whole life, even if I don't like all the albums anymore, they never actually produced anything really „bad" (IMHO). This doesn't apply to many bands.
Nathan, thx for sharing this video. The collision scene would make a cool dio. Greg where are you? 😄

Roland I'm with you on the technical ability of Mr Harris, I saw them at the Gentng Arena a couple of years ago & they were perfect 👍
I've been a big Maiden fan since the 80' when Paul Dianno was vocalist, brilliant Brit band 😉

Thank you mates! Much appreciated 😄
@Daniel
I have some props that I still want to build. Since I live in the home of the BF 109, some 109s and 262s are of course also planned.
The large parts are better for my eyes and fingers 😄
@Munkyslut
As a Briton, it is practically a civic duty to attend a Maiden concert😉

Well I was a kid in the 80´s, but already aware of the good stuff - Maiden, Motörhead & co... even some odd German stuff like KREATOR & SODOM😉 - not sure if that would be a topic for a 109 or 262... 😄

I think there were a couple of planes on the "agent orange" album cover. But don't know exactly what that was anymore. Certainly not a "Messerschmitt" 😄
PS:
@Daniel
Complete OOB build 🙂
The fit is "good". Of course, after the Tamiya kit, a little "descent" 😉
The details (especially the rivets/panel lines) are great IMHO. But I can't say if it's accurate. I'm absolutely no Spitfire expert.

Applied a testshot of my RAF Sky mix. IMHO the AKSky is to„greenish" so i added some superior blue and RAF Gray.

Looks good!
To be honest every time I try & replicate Sky it comes out a different shade, I just go with what looks the best rather than accuracy.

Yes, that's my way too 😄
If, like me, you want to put Eddie in as a pilot, the pedals may be in the way. I had to remove them. Maybe it's because my Eddie gained a bit in lockdown.

Base looks top notch! 👍
Now to the really difficult one - if the model looks better than the base = obviously not advisable in this situation... If the base is better than the model = not cool & dangerous too, when your wife provides such a top spec part, you better have to perform...! A special degree of harmony seems to be needed here...😉

Nice progress - I love the in-flight action pose! 👍
Seems Aces high Eddie really was flying high for prolonged periods of time, his grin does resemble the shape of the pilots oxygen mask "a bit" 😄

Thanks Slavo and Guy!
Eddie reacts extremely to criticism regarding his mouth, sooo psst😉
Very little grinding was necessary. Then applied primer + marbling.

Applied underside color. Sadly you can't really see the marbling effect on this picture.

Thanks Fabio 🙂
After masking the underside, i sprayed AK Real colors RAF dark green. I want rough edges that's why I sprayed it freehand.

Oh that first color is nice! I've got to admit that every time I use AK Real I fall a little more in love.

This Marbling Thequenic is great.
Your result is looking excellent, Roland 👍

Thanks a lot mates for your nice comments 🙂
@Nathan These colors are a godsend for me. No clogging and forgiving of any kind of wrong dilution or pressure. You can basically dilute it with anything you have standing around.
@Slavo The plan is for the plane to be pretty weathered. Therefore, the paint should really not look new. After I recently fell in love with oil paints, it should now be a good playground for weathering.
@Rui/Munkyslut To be honest, I'm usually not a big fan of this technique, but in this case it is very useful. With jets in particular, I now prefer postshading. It always depends on the desired effect. But that's just my opinion 🙂

@ Roland, Well it seems to me that it is more efective in the darker green, than with the Brown??? 🤔

Thanks Andy, I really appreciate your comment!
@Rui Yes, it actually looks like this in the picture. But that's because I didn't have good lighting for the picture. The brown is lighter than the green and therefore reflects more strongly. I took another photo without the light: the effect can already be seen. Of course you can also marble with different colors or, as i prefer, post-shading later.

Hi Roland, it's only marbling effects or you added some post-shading? Great job!!

Wow, this kit has nice surface detail and you used it to max effect - fanstastic paint job!
Big fan of AK RC myself, best paints I used so far 👍

You managed to keep the marbling very nicely consistent through the transitions, the result looks excellent! 👍 What a canvas for all the subsequent weathering fun... 🙂 👍

The kit indeed is very nicely detailed. The fit is great: shake'n bake 😄 Especially considering the very low price for the MK2 version without Eddie.

Interesting. There is apparenlty an IXC version for this, I might go for that one as I am a sucker for the mk IX variant.
