That looks really nice. Your second version of dark earth is much better. Compare it to this original 1/1 model and I'd say you are spot on!

Thanks, yes it does look closer

That's a superb photo, is it original WWII? It looks too good for a mock-up

Great looking pair you have here. The spit looks great as I'm sure the 109 will. Now, I must make a start on my own 109 !

It is original and original colour. It's one of a series shot for Life magazine. I'd say that it,and the others,are posed but no less authentic for that.

Okay, back to the build(s)

109 Cammo done

Small bits mounted & ready for paint

Bits painted & both aeroplanes gloss coated in preparation for decals

That was up to this morning

I've got the Decals on the 109 today and should have the Spitfire done before bed time

I'll let the Microsol dry off overnight and I should be able to get a coat of varnish on them both tomorrow evening

After that I'll mess them both up with a bit of heavy-handed weathering and Bob's your what'sername

Andy, the 109 is looking good, nice to see both planes being built together
