Very nice - the airbrush work looks really good.

A super build in fact - and really nice to see an early 109.

Cheers

I've been gathering things to build one of these birds for the last several weeks and you post this. Man this looks really great! Nice paint work! Hope mine turns out half this good. I have references that argue the point of RLM 02 vs. silver so I still don't know which way to go. I still have time to decide though. Again, awesome job here!

Clean build, same for the paint job. Great start for your airbrushing future!
Good to see a very early Bf 109 finished! Now, what´s next? :wink:

Fantastic work! I never would have known you were learning how to use an airbrush, had you not said so. :bow:

thanks man! I can get the colors to lay down smooth, but my fading effects always seem to get covered up! :oops:

Have you tried either dialing down your air pressure, or thinning your top coat another +/- 10%?
