More to come soon my friend.... I'll be back on this project in a few minutes...

Decals are on!!!! YES!!!!

The only kit decals that I used were the stencils. The kit decals had yellowed a bit, so I used national insignia from some sheets by Almark. Beautiful very thin decals, but on a single carrier sheet. You have to trim away all the excess film. They also provided stencils for the drop tank. The aircraft markings are from the Aeromaster set "Wings Over the Sahara"

That is lookin' really fine Stick! That desert scheme s one of my favorites; it is simple and seems to accentuate the lines of the -109 very nicely.

[Stikpusher]

Thank you Scruffy! I think the white ID markings really dress up the desert scheme to give just enough flash to lift the colors away from mundane.

Looking pretty darn good, Stik!
I like it

[Stikpusher]

Thanks Mike! Not bad for a project that I am rushing to finish.

Beautiful desert finish Carlos! It'll really "pop" when you put the flat coat on it!

[Stikpusher]

Thank you John. Some washes, a flat coat, and a bit of weathering left to go...

I know what you mean. I've got the old monogram F4U-4 Corsair on the bench and I'm not even bothering to put any extra effort into it. The kit is just so tired I'm having enough trouble just assembling it lol. I'm going to settle for cleaning it up and enjoy
Painting it. Just a good old fashioned build for fun.

The glass doesn't even fit anymore. I've got to get clever with it.

So it's great to see these kits get the extra attention. Rock on!!
