looks great Glenn.
but masking and painting 1/72 luftwaffe wing/ fuselage crosses is just showing off if you ask me !

Thanks guys, and thanks for the airbrush advice Terry. I'll have to take the brush completely apart and see if there is something in the tip. It's a brush I only use for very fine work so I don't use it to very often.
Just realized that I haven't updated this in a while so here are some pictures. I put on all the remaining decals and all but one went on well. The red 5s were from an old Luftwaffe number sheet I had and one of them came apart in the water. I already had one 5 on and the one that disintegrated was the last red 5 so I pieced it together. I think I can make it look Ok with a little touch up paint.

We'll just call that weathering Glenn. Still looks good.

looks great Glenn, without the close up you would hardly notice the break on that 5 !

If you have to get that close to see those cracks, they'll be fine.

With all - looking great Glenn! I'm sure you'll fix that 5 up no worries.

The 5 has been fixed to the best of my ability. I then did a black wash of the panel lines and sprayed the whole thing with dull coat. The aluminum nose is next, then the landing gear.

The nose has been sprayed with the buffing aluminum metalizer and the landing gear das been attached and is drying. a bit of pastel around the gun ports and jet exhaust and it'd done. No I just have to clean my bench off enough to take the final pictures
