Great job on the mottle George

Thank you very much all. Struts have been repainted and clear coating shortly. Any thoughts as to where the venturi tube was located. I've only seen one model with it and that's in the link Wojtek posted on Page 1 and he put it in the middle. This aircraft is the only one I can find that has a venturi tube and it kinda looks like its offset to the left going by the shadow

You're doing great Geo. 90-10 sounds awfully thin.

Thanks Andy. The mix was in a video I posted a while ago and had to try. I did add a bit more paint about half way through. As mentioned, I will go back to what works for me

Nice mottling! Is that freehand or did you use masks? Either way it looks good.

 

[fubar57]

Thank you Greg. All free-hand

the source: Sonderkommando Blaich 'raid' on Fort Lamy, January 1942 - 'anecdote' or feat of arms?

 

[fubar57]

Offset to the left away from the exhaust. Metallic colours on the ends?

 

[Wurger]

IMHO the Venturi tube was of the NMF entirely.

 

[fubar57]

Sounds good to me. Off to paint.......................

 

[fubar57]

Last of the sticky-outy parts painted and will be installed at the end

Shininess appears on the bottom

Good stuff Geo.
It's possible that the wing walk lines were RLM 65 (or RLM 76 if the underside in that colour).
I've seen evidence of this colour on at least one Bf109E during the BoB period, and used this on one model.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks Terry. I was leaning to 76. In camp now so this rests. Have a great week gentlemen

Looking good George
