Sorry I wasn't able to do any in progress shots since my connection wouldn't seem to want to let me upload anything to Photobucket. Come to find out, there's a firewall of sorts in my home network's router that's standing in the way. I had to take it out of the mix for the time being and "live on the edge."

Any-hoo..... I originally was painting this bird as Georg Amon's "Seeman" of JG 53. I had a serious paint-lifting problem for whatever reason. Everytime I masked, half the paint came up with the tape. SO, instead of wasting a perfectly good kit (and the $14 Eduard p/e set therein) I held my frustration and boxed it up for about a year.

That's when I came across Eagle Strike's "In Defense of the Reich Part 4." I figured that if I sanded the remaining loose paint off I'd have parts of the RLM 74/75/76 camo scheme needed to cover with the dark green summer camo, and, subsequently, the white wash. It would be the perfect "cover-up."

I'm fairly happy with the results. I think the green that I chose should probably been more green and less black (I used RLM 70.) I may go back and do more weathering, but first, I was hoping to get some critiques. If I haven't already mentioned, this is Hasegawa's 1/48 scale G6 with Eduard p/e and True Details wheels.

Enjoy

Looks very good. I would not be able to guess this 109 was a "cover up" of your masking tape problems.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks, Jesper!

I'm pretty proud about how this turned out after all of the drama. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Very cool 109! Really like the dropped flaps and slats. Keep up the good work. Russell

I love the camo scheme Justen. That one looks like it would have been hard to find in the air.

Russell and David, thanks for the compliments!

Awesome looking 109 Justen! Great work.....
