Bill Cross Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Almost looks like a colorized period photo. Amazingly realistic. Congrats! Mikester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks, Jens! The white wash was applied using Mr. Color White thinned down about 60/40 thinner to paint ratio. This was applied over the standard 74/75/76 finish. I had the needle almost all the way closed and built up the paint very slowly and inconsistently to simulate a worn finish. After the paint was applied I hit some if the areas with a 3600 grit sanding square to simulate wear/scuffing of the paint. Thanks for the description, Mike. I will try the same approach once I get to do a winter scheme. Jens Mikester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow. Fantastic pictures. Makes me feel chillled just looking at this Bf-109. Great efforts on the JG-52 example. This is no other aircraft I enjoy more than the 109. Troy Mikester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
