Hello

Step one of the painting => original Messerschmitt Regensburg camo scheme with addition of the RLM74 on the tail


Step two will be addition of RLM74 color on the fuselage (from under the cockpit to the tail) and step three will be the addition of the "squiggles" with "Bulagarian light grey"...
To be continued...

Hello,

Painting done !
Step 2: addition of RLM74 color on the fuselage from under the cockpit to the tail


Step 3: addition of the "squiggles" with "Bulagarian light grey". I chose a light grey


And step 4: addition of the masking with RLM75 to hide the "balkenkreuz" on the wings...

Again Steph, very nicely done.

Steph - you need to produce a 'how-to' on applying the 'blotches'. I'm still struggeling with those and any visuals would be handy. This build is the benchmark for that.

I made a mask doing numerous holes in an aluminium foil with several tools as different type of needles, scalpel blade and flat screwdrivers

Thanks Steph, This is so simple but also very clever.

Very clever, looking niiiice!

 

[Donivanp]

Steph, that's some nice work. I like the aluminum foil idea,

 

[Ralph Haus]

Steph, that's some nice work. I like the aluminum foil idea,

Great idea. Not only able to form around area to be sprayed but no sticking to already (possibly fragile) paint while acting as a mask for other areas! Would work for so many camo shapes. Just punch out a pattern!! Thanks.

 

[Wayne Little]

Nicely done Steph...!

 

[Crimea_River]

Very effective.
