This is the Tamiya Bf 109E-3 in 1/48 scale. It is painted using Xtracrylics airbrushed on. The decals are a combination of the ones in the kit and some from the spares box. Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, I wanted to get some photos before my camera batteries wore down.
I used a combination of pre and post shading, this done more heavily on the upper surfaces, and the panel lines were done with promodeller dark wash.

Any and all criticisms are welcome.











For the cockpit I used the instrument decal rather than paint the dials and for the exhaust stains and gun cordite stains I used graphite powder.
