Like the title says, this is my recently finished 1/48 scale Eduard Bf 110E.

My model was built O.O.B. including the decals (which were very good) and I painted this model with Model Master enamels. I chose the markings option for the Bf 110E flown by Lt. Felix Brandis of 1.(Z)/JG 77.

Very nice! In my view a superbly achieved camouflage scheme!
Like those retro looking photos

Very nice Les! Is that the Profipack or weekend version?

How do you do that kind of mottling?

thanks
Mike

Thank you Mike!

There are no special techniques for doing the mottling, I give credit to the airbrush I use which is the Iwata Revolution BR. The Revolution BR is not supposed to be a detail airbrush but I have found it works the best for spraying model paints reliably and it puts my more expensive detail airbrushes to shame for spraying fine details.
