**** DONE: 1/48 Bf 109E-3 - Defense of Britain/Atlantic.

Splashed some paint in the cockpit area to get things going here...more to come.

Looking good Wayne. The colour looks a bit off on my monitor, more in the first pic, but no doubt it's the lighting. I presume you know that the perforated guard over the oxygen regulator tank was in plain metal.
 
Whoa that's a big color difference between the IP and the rest of the cockpit. I'm assuming it's that stupid purply shade that Eduard uses. Almost renders some of their pre-painted stuff unusable... so hard to correct.

It's not painted, just the light.

And yeah John the ip is a painful colour yet when the fuselage is together it looks less of an issue, i will actually dab some dark grey on it to improve it, its just sitting in place with the fuselage for the pic.
 
Ok got the fuselage assembled now...

Looks great Wayne! Ready for paint!

yep getting close...:D

Good stuff Wayne. Airfix look a bit heavy handed with the panel lines but otherwise looks like a nice kit.

Yeah they are a tad 'heavy' but hopefully will look less obvious under paint....we will see...
