Cockpit done. Nothing fancy and nothing near the things I've seen on this board. I'm not 100 per cent happy with it, but it'll do. The paint is my own mix of 1 part Tamiya XF-22, 1 part XF-49, 2 parts XF-1 and one part X-22 to make it semi-gloss, it turned out great, I think. I have had some...

Yes, I read through your build-thread and I liked your model a lot, just goes to say you don't need an airbrush to make a pretty decent model. Not much progress to report, I have spent a few days on the net looking for information. I have put together the seatbelts, and man are those bits...

Yes, that's it. Brilliant pictures, Wurger, it would certainly help me with the mottling.

Please do. Meanwhile I bring out my RLM 02 to start on the cockpit.

Thanks a lot for that. I was a bit confused as Tamiya suggests AS-5 for the underside and the references for AS-5 seems to range from RLM 76 to RLM 78 or 'thereabouts'. But just to be clear about this, it's RLM 78 for the underside and the side of the fuselage, and RLM 80 over RLM 79 for the...

This will be my first build here and my first German WWII aircraft and I thought it would be a good idea to start with something simple, and this kit by Tamiya seems simple enough. I don't mind a few discrepancies here and there, I'm no rivet-counter by any measure, in fact I would regard myself...
