Global Scale Modeller

I just finished this last night, its a nice kit but I used an Eduard zoom set on it to add more to the cockpit and the wheel wells which where just blank, I also used decals by ExtraDecal because the kit ones where awful.
It was airbrushed using Tamiya acrylics and weathers with a homemade pastel sludge wash, I had planed on adding break lines with leadwire but been a dumbass I forgot thats something for me to do later.
Next up is to go back work on my B-17 for the bombers group build.

Thanks for looking

Looks awesome! Love the weathering!

Great work mate! Looks alot bigger than 1/72, and that's saying alot!

i agree. i just was scrolling and thought it was 1/48 at least

Really good Eion, excellent on fact. Question for you mate, how long did she take to weather? And how did you do it?

Thanks guys

For the weathering I started by giving it two coats of Klear then I used a sludge wash that I made with black and brown soft pastels, I left this on over night before rubbing it off ( the same way you do with Ultimate weathering wash and Flory models wash ) when I was happy with the effect I gave it a coat of Tamiya flat clear, next I added chipping with cidital ironbreaker silver using a 0000 brush and one of the wifes make-up pads...dont tell her finally I sprayed smoke staining with tamiya black thats about 10% paint to 90% thinners.
Id say it only took about 1-2hours spread over 3 sittings

Stunning!

Love the 109's, excellent weathering. Looks like a lot of work has gone into it.

I like dirty planes they look lived in, great finish sir



Note to self get a 109.

3 x YES for this Me 109

A stunning bird. I'm getting more and more worried about the decals on mine now though.

I know what you mean, the academy decals are rubbish

Thanks for all the nice comments

Excellent job , the weathering gives it a very realistic look for a 1/72 scale

Fantastic! I really like the weathering.

Great 1/72 work there mate!
Fantastic paintjob in this small scale, agree with others, I read the title, looked at the pics, then had to go back to check again!
Was sure it was a 1/48 model I was looking at...very nice!
To "fit all that" into such a small package takes a lot of skill and talent.
Lovely paintwork and weathering.

wonderful work mate

looks top notch
